**Thank you, Macmillan, for the audiobook copy!**

This was such a fun book! It really helped me get into the holiday spirit, and I absolutely fell in love with the characters. I loved the idea of all of the holidays having their royal families that kept the holiday going. It seems like most of the time, it's Christmas that always has the family, where all the other holidays may have more of a mascot of sorts, so this was a nice change. The relationships between most of the characters felt healthy and believable. 

I also really liked the plotline of Christmas becoming a big PR stunt, the marriage of convenience, and how the two suitors were obsessed with each other. Cole and Hex were one of my favorite couples of the year, and I loved how Chris and Iris were so supportive and encouraging.

I had two minor issues with the ending, so the spoilers are about to happen. If you don't want them, LOOK AWAY!

The issues I had were when Cole finally confronted his father, and his father had a realization moment and then disappeared for the rest of the story. No word on if he fulfilled his Christmas Eve duties or if anyone even saw him after their interaction. And it left on such a weird note with Chris and Iris. I get the implication that Chris confessed his feelings for Iris, and she didn't reciprocate, but I wanted a little more resolution. I know that there is a second book coming, so I'm sure it's probably going to pick up pretty much where the first one left off, but it felt a little unfinished to me.

I will definitely be continuing this series, and I hope it continues and follows other holidays after because I think that would be really fun.

If you enjoy the holidays, rom-coms, banter, and steamy men, you'll enjoy this book!
