Carol Evergreen has just leased a space to open her dream store. Christmas is her thing and her store will reflect it. Located in a small shopping Mall right next to a store that is all about Fall and Thanksgiving! How will this work? Like oil and water perhaps? Of course Mrs. Claus is hard at work already delivering those fun ornaments that bring the story together! A pink tree for Ryan Troutman, the owner of the Triple T and an orange cat for Carol. What do these ornaments mean? A joke? There is a lot of drama packed into this sweet story and you are going to love the antics of a certain cat named Kooter will bring to the story. You will love this story. It is sweet, funny and heartwarming!
Fun characters that are so entertaining! The big cat that lends a little Christmas help was such a wonderful addition to the story. My two favorite holidays in a book and all the scrumptious food and beautiful decorations was icing on the cake in making this such a fantastic book! The sweet clean romance was enchanting and kept me pulled into the story. So much to love about this holiday romance! Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
Carol can't believe it! How can she be stuck with Turkey-boy the Christmas hater? And his menace of a cat! On principle she is not going to have anything to do with him...no matter what! But Mrs Claus has other ideas, can she sprinkle her Christmas magic and get Turkey-boy and his Christmas Carol to fall for each other? That may be asking a little too much even for Christmas magic!
A delightful story that I could not put down. An amazing series by wonderful authors of fun Christmas stories with awesome characters that you just can't help loving. I would highly recommend this book and this series. Looking forward to reading more.
Kooter the Coon cat is a special kind of Matchmaker!
Carol is definitely a stubborn person who has trouble dealing with Ryan's thoughtfulness. That kiss definitely turned things around for them along with a little nudge. The accident was the imputis to wake Carol up to see the good in Ryan and Kooter? What a happy ending!
A wonderful story about two store owners who don’t really care for each other’s favorite holiday. A big cat decides to take things into his paws to help them see each other in a different light! A couple of ornaments help, too! A lovely story about love, hope, and families!!
What happens when the man who loves only Thanksgiving so much, he has a store, meets a lady who loves only Christmas? Find out as a crazy cat and 2 moms desperate for grandkids work their holiday magic. Great story! Will keep you on your toes.
Ryan- has T-day/fall store Carol- just opened her Christmas store I Loved reading this entertaining story that is well written with lovable characters including a huge cat. Their story has a sweet HEA!
I loved this book. A clean sweet romance. A mischievous cat brings plenty of Chaos to the new Christmas store owner. This book came out just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving and look forward to the Christmas season. It is another fun read in a series I keep going back to.
The Christmas matchmaker is working miracles with the help of a very special cat. At firdtthey are not too happy about the set up but a miracle is in the making and can't be stopped. A sweet read.
I'm really enjoying this great Christmas Series, all the characters and occasionally getting a peak at Mrs Claus. I loved Ryan and Carol's story. They had a rough beginning but with the help of a cat and Mrs Claus love finds a way.
What a great story! There is of course mysterious ornaments from Mrs. Claus, 2 people not looking for love, and some holiday spirit. I especially love the cat Kooter who brings some fun to the story. Can read as a stand alone or as part of the series.
Reader, what is your favorite holiday Thanksgiving or Christmas? Add a gigantic Maine Coon Cat, two unique ornaments, and mouth watering seasonal delectables to this enjoyable holiday read. Do opposites attract? A Thanksgiving non- business degree guy and an over the top Christmas business degree gal. Both have supportive parents, both own a holiday inspired shop; how does the Coon Cat turn this romance into a page turner? This avid reader enjoyed the comparison and contrast between the two holidays and the characters. Thanksgiving had met Christmas and found a happy merger in trust, hope, peace, thankfulness and love. Whimsical November read.
