Book Blurb:
She didn’t sign up for snow-covered trees, twinkling lights, or falling for a Christmas tree farmer.
Sloan Sterling avoids Christmas every year like it’s her full-time job. So when a photography gig lands her in a small town that runs on nothing but holiday spirit, she’s already counting down the days until she can leave.
What’s worse? She’s staying at a charming Christmas tree farm, where the owner, Jonah Holly, is the living embodiment of seasonal cheer. He’s tall, ridiculously attractive, and always wearing the most obnoxious Christmas sweaters. Funny, warm-hearted, and infuriatingly hopeful, he’s everything she doesn’t believe in anymore.
Their mission is work together to bring in more customers to the farm before the season ends. But working alongside him has Sloan catching feelings she didn’t plan on... and Jonah falling hard for the grumpy girl behind the lens.
The only problem? Sloan isn’t staying. She’s only there until Christmas, and then she’s gone.
So, is this just a holiday fling wrapped in fairy lights, or something worth believing in?

Thoughts:
Thank you to the author and High Gravity Productions for sending me this ALC!
To start with we have Sloan (FMC) she is a photographer and often works on projects that take her all over the world, but she usually takes a break for her least favorite time of the year... the christmas holiday season, she has her reasons but still just leave her alone and let her stew during this time.
Unfortunately her friend had a job lined up but had an injury leaving her unable to go so "Sloan, can you please please do this for me?" ... Sloan agrees to do it but didn't fully understand what she was signing herself up for... now she has landed in the center of a hallmark movie (not really) but seriously the christmas all year long, small town holiday vibes are going to be a real problem for this grinch.
Jonah (MMC) is the owner of the christmas tree farm which he needs help bringing customers back to pick out their trees... lately business has been down due to people buying those fake trees. Even with that hanging over his head he is delightfully cheerful at all times and his dog is too (except when he is giving puppy dog eyes as needed), constantly wearing those awful holiday sweaters, and looking hot while cutting down trees... seriously why is that so hot?
As Sloan begins her time in this holiday haven she is at first reluctant to the charm... but the more she spends time among the residents and Jonah, she can't help but wonder if maybe Christmas time isn't so bad after all... maybe she could trust a man and settle in this cozy, holiday town?
The reverse grumpy x sunshine vibes caused great tension throughout the book as Mr. Holiday charm himself helped Sloan work through some deep seated resentment fueled by her past and opening up to others at her own pace helped soothe her Holiday disliking heart.
The story is told from Sloan's POV with the Epilogue in Jonah's POV and Autumn Mercer and John Maddaloni did a great job bringing this holiday story to life!
This was a novella so it did have that insta love vibes, but I didn't fully mind it in this story it was a cute small town romance with lots of holiday charm. If you enjoy those holiday hallmark romances and don't mind spice add this one to your tbr it's a fun quick read that will have you ready to visit a tree farm and open some presents.
have you read this one? what did you think?
