Charlotte “Charlie” Donovan knows what she wants for Christmas: Teo Ortiz. He’s a star athlete, in the National Honor Society, invited to every party, and contributes to the school paper (where Charlie is co-editor). Basically, he's exactly the type of guy Charlie’s looking for. The only problem—he barely knows she exists.
But Charlie has a plan: Rig the paper’s Secret Santa and win his heart with five perfect gifts. Enter J.D. Ortiz—Teo’s cousin, and possibly the most annoying person on the planet. He’s easy going, laid back, unorganized, and spontaneous—the exact opposite of Charlie (and Teo). But he knows what Teo wants, so she’s stuck with him.
Yet the more time Charlie spends with J.D. the more she starts to wonder: Does she really know what, or rather who, she wants for Christmas?
Three reasons why I want to read this book:
- It's set during the holidays, and I love the holidays. Holidays have a certain amount of cheer associated with them, and I also love getting a peek at how others celebrate.
- I love when there are elaborate plans to win someone's heart. When an MC plots in the name of romance, it usually results in some fun hijinks, and I adore hijinks.
- From the synopsis, it looks like a enemies to more sort of story, and I happen to like those type of stories.
What are you waiting on?

Aw, this looks so adorable! :D Love the cover. It makes me feel warm and snuggly. I love Christmas books haha, I can't help it. Thanks for sharing, Sam!
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't the cover adorable!Just like an ugly Christmas sweater (though,not really ugly)
DeleteI love this type of romance (from what it sounds like)! I'd not heard of this book before but now I'm interested. Living the Christmas vibe. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic day, Sam. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
It totally seems like something I would enjoy. Fingers crossed
DeleteI am so excited for this one and I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteI hope we both read so we can compare notes
DeleteI'm excited for this one for many of the same reasons as you! Any book involving the holidays is really a must read in my book. Plus that cover is just making me crave Christmas. Great pick! :)
ReplyDeleteNever too early to start planning for Christmas 😊
DeleteThat's the cutest christmas sweater cover! It did make me smile!
ReplyDeleteRight? It plays on so many Christmas themes, while also eluding to a coupling.
DeleteAww that sounds so cute! And the cover is totally cozy! :)
ReplyDeleteThe cover is cozy and I hope to get warm, fuzzy, cozy feels from this one
DeleteOoh I'm looking forward to those hijinks! This sounds super sweet and fun. I also love the whole enemies to more trope, so fingers crossed I like it!
ReplyDeleteI never really had hijinks, so I love reading about them. I can only imagine there will be some fun bits in this one.
DeleteI actually saw this one yesterday when I was sent a notice about a review opportunity. I passed since I don't read a lot of this genre but I bet this will appeal to so many readers. Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was asked to review it. 😔
DeleteHoliday books are the best. Enjoy!

They are even better when they include lots of passages with food. 😉
DeleteI just adore the cover! It sounds really good. Great choice!

Cute cover, but actually story related too
DeleteI've never really read a Christmas themed book before (excluding A Christmas Carol) but this sounds so sweet!

I adore sweet romances ❤
DeleteHoliday books are the best! I wish there were more of them (or at least that I was better at finding them). Definitely adding this to my TBR. Great choice!

There is just something about them that takes me to my happy place
DeleteI love the cover! I totally agree with you I love the holiday and especially a book that reminds me of the holidays! I love the three things you pointed out. I am going to need to add this to my TBR list! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is adorbs, playing off the partridges in a pear tree and the ugly sweater concept. Love it!
DeleteSounds like a cute read! Great pick!

Cute reads are my favorite kinds.
DeleteThat's a new to me one! Not sure it's my kind of read but I hope you thoroughly enjoy it once you read it!

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I hope I do too.
DeleteThis sounds really good. I like some hijinks myself :)
ReplyDeleteHijinks are the best. I am hoping there are some in there (how could there not be with such a plot?)
DeleteThere's something about these holiday sweater-style book covers that I love, even when I don't normally read these kinds of stories. But I gotta say, the books I've been reading lately have had a distinct and disappointing lack of hijinks...so I might need to give this one a shot! :)
ReplyDeleteWe definitely need more hijinks. 😄
DeleteI don't read a lot of holiday books but this does sound really good!
ReplyDeleteI usually do well with Swoon too, so I hope to read it.
DeleteI love the covers that look like sweaters! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday post
It is so adorable and fits the time/theme of this book. It reads warm and fuzzy to me, and those are my favorite kinds of books too.
