I fully expected this to be a sweet, simple read about a grinch and his Christmas obsessed neighbor, and it was, but it also had me majorly swooning at parts and my heart was full when I finished. There's a scene in the lobby near the mistletoe and a bag of garbage that felt so sensual to me that I went back and reread it a couple of times. I found myself wanting to shake some sense into the characters but enjoying the slow burn at the same time. This book had it all, steam, sweet, funny and frustration.

ITS IN THIRD PERSON


Okay now that’s out of the way…

It was cute, like too cute. I needed drama.

This didn't work for me too much. Brooke is Miss Christmas but she's just as closed off as Duncan. They spend most of the book avoiding each other and avoiding their attraction. They both are stupid and make stupid decisions. The Grinch is one of my favorite Christmas stories and this did not do it justice at all. There were a few good points in the story and I finished it, so 2-2.5 stars is what it gets.
