Happy Friday! Only 10 days until Christmas!! I am actually ahead of schedule and enjoying the season without too much muss or fuss. One thing I have been doing a lot of is reading. Big shocker! 😉 This month I have been concentrating on Christmas-y stories — romances, cozy mysteries, historicals, and suspense. And the books have really helped me get into the holiday spirit even as I was dragging my heels. I am currently reading the rom-com All’s Fair in Love And Christmas by Sarah Monzon. My review will be posted next week. But for now here’s the first line:
My boss is so generous.
Two workplace rivals. One festive competition. And a romance that upends it all.
Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham–Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace. Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they’ll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she’d be a contender in her company’s holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise?
Jeremy Fletcher’s life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year’s promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she’s his rival, he can’t stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he’s afraid that if he can’t get his head on straight, the promotion isn’t the only thing he’ll end up losing to Mackenzie.
Winner of the Holt Medallion and Selah Award, Sarah Monzon is a stay-at-home mom who makes up imaginary friends to have adult conversations with (otherwise known as writing novels). As a navy chaplain’s wife, she resides wherever the military happens to station her family and enjoys exploring the beauty of the world around her.
Happy Friday!
I’m currently reading The Lily of Ludgate Hill by Mimi Matthews. It’s another excellent story, so far!
“Downstairs, Hartford awaited Anne in the front hall of the inn.”
I hope you have an excellent weekend! Happy reading!!! 🙂💜📚
Sounds like a really cute story. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!
One wonders if the boss isn’t so generous or why was it mentioned? Enjoy.
