Synopsis
Cole would rather hibernate through winter than join in his town's Christmas festivities, but his plans fall apart when his nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to look after her Aunt Cindy, who is recovering from hip surgery.
Storee is determined to win the town's Christmas Kringle contest. Cole, who has no interest in tinsel, enters too, pretending he has had a festive change of heart and has fallen for the girl next door. To outdo each other they pretend to date, and as the competition heats up, so do their feelings. What began as a fake relationship starts to feel very real, and before long things get complicated.
Set in Kringletown, a small town where Christmas is celebrated all year, this is a steamy, funny festive romantic comedy from Meghan Quinn, built on enemies-to-lovers, fake dating and forced proximity.

- <div>Currently I’m just not in the mood to read this book. Most likely I would give it some time and then come back to it. I do want to give this book a chance.</div>
- This blew up on my social media around Christmas time and everyone was raving about this candycane scene and curiosity killed my cat. I grew up reading my mom's Harlequin Romance novels so spicy scenes were not a boundary for me. I have a history of leaning more towards the spice than not. Currently, however, I lean more towards the yearny romance versus spicy romance. The modern twist on the Grinch storyline was super cute! I loved the dialogue between MMC Cole and FMC Storee. There were moments I was actually laughing out loud, which is a first for me.
