The Grump Who Stole Christmas by S. Doyle

 

The Grump Who Stole Christmas by S. Doyle is now live! 

Home for the holidays...

That should be a good thing, right? Eggnog and Christmas carols. Mistletoe and family. Except my dad broke his leg hanging the family wreath. My brothers are at war over taking proper care of Dad. Oh, and I just found out our family business, the Kringle Inn, is failing!

The last thing I need is this mysterious new guy, who runs the Kringle tree farm, interfering. He's big, bearded and grumpy. He wears a lot of flannel and he does NOT like taking orders. Especially from me. We can't agree on anything other than saving the business.

Even if we have to kill each other doing it.  
Or kiss each other doing it... 
Because I think I might be falling for the guy. 
My name is Kristen, don't call me Kris, Kringle and this is a Christmas Romance Emergency!
I'm going to need some hot cocoa STAT!

My rating: 3.5 stars out of 5

My review:

The Grump Who Stole Christmas was the first book in the Kringle Family Christmas.  It was short but very cheerful and festive.  The characters were likable, and I hope to see more of the side characters in future books.  Kristen Kringle returns home to help her father who has broken his leg.  When she arrives, she discovers the family businesses, the Kringle Inn and the Kringle Tree Farm, were in trouble.  She is determined to make it profitable again, but can she accomplish this before she must return to New York and her life?   Paul McCleer had left his fast-paced life behind and was happy with the simple life.  He wanted to settle down, find a wife, and start a family.  He knew Kristen would be returning to her life, but the slow burn between the two of them was hard to stop.  Can a holiday fling turn into more?  This was a fast-to-read book, but it was light, fun, and enjoyable to read.  I loved meeting the side characters and look forward to their books in the future.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Meet S. Doyle

No joke, my romance writing career started when I was ten and realized that Leia and Han were the true couple in Star Wars.

It's been about thirty years and over forty books and I still love it!
