I absolutely adored this book--it was SO CUTE! 

One of the things that really stuck out to me about this book was the banter and just the love between Matt and Andi. When you can really feel the connection between the characters, it just makes it that much easier to get caught up in their story. I was also very impressed by the ADHD rep in this book. Being married to someone who has ADHD has really put a lot of things into perspective for me, and I really appreciated an author taking the time to show how it's so much more than the stereotypes that are out there. On a less serious note, I really enjoyed the premise of this one--it was so unique, and I think the idea of a Christmas theme park sounds like the coolest thing ever, so I'm gonna go ahead and need that to be a thing ASAP. 

Overall, this was an easy-to-read, ADORABLE Christmas romance that hooked me right in. Definitely recommend! 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions here are my own.

I have a confession I love anything Christmas, I watch all the hallmark and lifetime movies, even the Christmas in July ones! The decorating of the tree, baking and family time. So when I can get my hands on a Christmas book it makes me so happy!
When Andi’s fiancée ends their engagement suddenly, she’s devastated. She packs her belongings and leaves town to get away and she finds herself back home. Andi takes a job taking care of Liam an elderly gentleman, he owns Christmastown, a holiday-themed amusement park that shut down years ago. Liam would love to reopen it and Andi offers to help.
Matt Taylor an auditor he is sent to audit the amusement park, he’s handsome and charming, soon the two find themselves flirting and the sparks fly. When Andi discovers that Matt isn't who he says he is. Andi has to make the decision to stay and hear him out or end what they have just started and leave. Isn’t Christmas the season of miracles and love? I loved this book it was a quick read and felt like a feel good hallmark movie!

If you're looking for a Hallmark-esque Christmas read, pick this one up! This book is seriously adorable! 

Christmastown is on the brink of collapse and Andi is there to try to save it. Matt is there to spy and try to shut it down. But even he sees Andi's vision and wants to make it a reality. Such a sweet read! I also really love the ADHD rep in this one 💕

A fun holiday read! I want to go and visit this Christmastown place myself. Andi needs a new start after finding her fiancé a cheater and quitting her job because it just wasn't giving her joy anymore she takes on an impossible task. She is asked to become a caretaker for an elderly man who is the proud owner of the shutdown holiday theme park. But instead of seeing the decay, Andi sees opportunity and believes in what this place can become. Reigniting Liam's drive to get this place up and running, she faces many challenges and has to prove herself. When an auditor is sent to keep an eye on things for Liam's daughter, Andi soon finds an ally in Matt and things are progressing rather well until some truths come out and the one they need to prove what this can be, is only out to prove that her father once again has a crazy idea that will get nowhere like everything else he has done. This was a heartfelt holiday read and I love the idea of a Christmas themed amusement park! Thank you to Suzy Approved Book Tours for the invite and the author for the free novel. This was a great, quick holiday read to get into the season!
