Lennox is pressured by her meddling sister to let Noelle, her sister's friend and coworker, stay in her home temporarily. But she's attracted to Noelle when she doesn't want to be, and Noelle brings the spirit of Christmas Lennox is trying to deny. The clash is epic. Can they find a common ground?

I loved Noelle and her optimism. I rooted for her and her holiday outfits from page one. Lennox was sexy as a grump, but she was a little too mean to Noelle for me to give her full leeway. Lol. She apologized, and the romance bloomed in a way you could feel and I appreciated that. They were passionate and when they let their guards down, it was sweet and real. It was a good time. But Lennox's attitude almost made me tap out, lol. Good thing it turned around.
