Publisher's summary

My life could have been ripped straight from a Hallmark movie.

My name is Caroline "Candy" Cane, I own a country inn, date a man who runs a Christmas tree farm, and my mom's peppermint fudge wins first place at the Reindeer Corners' festival every year. Basically, I'm living every romance-loving girlie's small town dream.

Until a last minute trip to New York City leads to catching my boyfriend banging a Rockette (in full elf costume).

So, when I'm offered a chance to star in a hospitality-themed reality show, I jump at the chance to serve hot cocoa in roller skates on national television.

The only problem? The smoking hot, broody, perfectly bossy producer, Leo...

He's everything I've ever wanted in a man, but he's also my new boss and completely off-limits.

And that's before we realize our lives--and our pasts--are more intimately intertwined than we could have imagined.

Do I dare make holiday magic with the one man I now know I should never kiss under the mistletoe?

Holiday Rom-com

This is a fun and sexy holiday rom-com with a sassy feline and a forbidden love. When Carolina “Candy” Cane leaves her hometown of Reindeer Corner and heads to New York City for a last minute trip she never expects to end up on a hospitality-themed reality show but here she is, living out a crazy dream and finding love along the way. But things can’t be that easy as Carolina learns that the man she’s falling for has a tangled past with someone she knows.

Love, drama and forever

I loved this forbidden, quasi boss-employee, love at first site, double pining, reverse Hallmark holiday romance. It had the perfect mix of fun, humor, love, real life issues, spice, family drama, holiday goodness, and a sassy jerk of a cat. Leo and Caroline are both intense, strong and passionate characters who have flaws, but are really just trying to do their best as messy humans. I smiled, swooned and laughed the entire time I read this book. Leo is the creator and producer of Innkeeping with You: Holiday Games Edition, a tasteful reality show. He needs it to be a success so he can stop writing for the soul numbing reality show he currently works for. Caroline lives in Reindeer Corners, Vermont and runs the Reindeer Corners Inn with her best friend. She is visiting NYC to go to the Annual Hotelier’s Conference and Trade Show hoping it will inspire her to love her life again. When she catches Chris, her Christmas-tree-farming boyfriend cheating on her, she decides to have an adventure by joining Leo’s reality show. There is instant attraction and chemistry when Leo and Caroline meet, but there is the complication of him being her sort of boss as well as a strange intersection of their lives that should make dating impossible. But feelings - oh the feelings. They are big and messy and hot me right in the feels. This heartwarming story was well written and included engaging dialogue, three dimensional characters, and a swoony and heartwarming storyline.

Sebastian York and Lili Valente did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I love listening to Lili narrate her own story.
