Rating: 3.5 Stars

Another adorable romantic adventure in North Pole!



Pro: I am a fan of North Pole, and in this book, it's actually Christmas time! There are a bunch of really fun celebratory activities going on with the gingerbread competition being the center of this story. By the way, the gingerbread competition was fabulous.

Pro: Danny and Holly actually share a past, and it was very sweet hearing about them in their younger years.

Pro: This was a fun Cyrano type story, where Holly had this texting relationship with Danny in order to help Elda win his heart. The exchanges were quite fun and adorable, and I couldn't wait for their next text session.

Con: Sometimes I thought Holly was a little too hard on herself about her looks, but I guess it worked with the story. Her self defense mechanism was a bit much at times too, but we did see a lot of her big heart, so I forgave her and sort of understood her a little too.

Pro: I love grandma stories, and although what brought Holly back to North Pole was her grandmother's death, I really enjoyed getting to share all her memories and I loved how she chose to honor her grandmother's memory.

Pro: As with all companion books, I was really happy to see what the other North Pole couples were up to, and was glad Hammerle included them in this story.

Pro: There are some really great silly, fun bits that I found quite amusing. A few of the side characters also gave me things to laugh at, and I always love to laugh.

Pro: I was really grateful for that ending. It was very sweet and gave me the sort of information and closure I need.



Overall: A super, sweet, adorable Christmas romance, that left me a sappy grin on my face.
