Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Dressed in nothing but Christmas lingerie, Carina has a bellhop deliver her in a gift box to her fiance’s hotel room, but the last thing she expects when she is unwrapped is to see a sexy stranger in holiday boxers who looks like he just stepped off a magazine cover – definitely NOT her fiancé! How in the silver bells was she delivered to the wrong room?
As the owner of a small flower shop, Carina’s surrounded by romance on a daily basis. Her workaholic fiancé has been distant for the past several months, so she decides to drive from Baton Rouge to New Orleans to surprise him on Christmas Eve. However, that distance between them has brought loneliness, and the mere thought of the sexy stranger plucks at her mistletoe. When she discovers the reason for her fiance’s lack of attention, will she put him on Santa’s naughty list and take the stranger for a sleigh ride?
MY REVIEW
When Carina ends up in the wrong hotel room, dressed in little to nothing, she's mortified a stranger ogling her. For his part, he may look but he doesn't do anything remotely sinister or untoward, but he still stays in her mind even after she discovers that the fiancé she surprised has been cheating on her. Thank God the hot stranger is still around when she runs out of her fiancé's room. And thank God she discovers the past connection they share.
This is a cute holiday read. It's not anything out of the box, and I hated that they weren't a couple until almost the very end, but the story itself is entertaining, in a very Hallmark, cheesy sort of way. But it's got two likable leads who end up becoming friends then more, and it's set during the holidays, so it's the perfect short read to get you ready for the holiday season.
