My country music career is going downhill fast, and my very public breakup isn't helping. All I want is to hide away at a cozy ski lodge this Christmas, avoid anything festive, and figure out what to do with my life. Is that so much to ask?

Aksel Lund is a modern-day Viking who should be gracing magazine covers with his smoldery frown, not running the Havenkirk Ski Lodge like a tyrant. Unbeknownst to me, this map-dot town in Idaho doesn’t have a spa or know how to be chill about Christmas. Aksel’s eight-year-old daughter drags me to every single Snowmass celebration because I don’t have the heart to tell her no.

Her grinch of a father though? He has no heart. When he’s not criticizing my music, or saving me from hurtling down the slopes, or arguing with me over my excessive luggage—it’s only five suitcases, calm down—he’s dodging my questions about why he’s a single dad and who keeps calling about his debts.

I may be a celebrity— which basically makes me a scrooge in his eyes—but I know a thing or two about hard times. And it looks like Havenkirk will be sold to some rich developer the minute the tinsel comes down. If only Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Brooding would let me help save the lodge.

And if only Aksel didn’t make my heart twist painfully in my chest and leave me panting whenever he turned that glower on me. If only I truly loved the season and could pull a Christmas miracle out of my guitar.

Turns out a miracle is what I need to get Aksel out of my heart, too.

This beautifully written story was fun and flirty, and we found ourselves smiling throughout the entire story. The characters were great generous kind and loving and some even a bit grumpy.

Loved Morgana and Askel as a couple their chemistry was on fire but, they were so cute together that you could not help but wish a happily ever after for this couple. Imogene was absolutely adorable. Love when love finds you when you least expect it,

Loved the town and the people especially their antics when it came to Askel and Morgana the conversations amongst themselves were priceless. Loved how the town rallies together when one is in need. Really loved this one it gave you the warm fuzzies and how the holiday spirit seemed to make dreams come true. Loved that the story made us laugh from beginning to end and who doesn't want to read about a sexy grumpy Viking! Grins...
