Kristmas Noel Holly was born in December. Her parents hated everything about the season, so why had they named her after Christmas? Kris’s childhood memories were not filled with peace and joy, more of dread. She’s ecstatic when an invitation arrives to a prestigious conference in Germany for the first week of December. Her salvation to avoid the festivities. Nicholas Joseph Holladay loves the season, every decorated tree, carol, and Hallmark movie. Nick’s idea of a perfect Christmas for his daughter doesn’t include a business trip. He loves his job ten months out of the year, so he’ll accompany Kris. He hopes to remedy Kris’s holiday workaholic tendencies by rekindling the special magic of the season for her. He plans to take Kris to the famous holiday markets and show her how much she misses while working. Will his plan succeed, or will he ruin their working relationship?

The Review

Kristmas Noel Holly may carry the ultimate Christmas name but his is one Scrooge who wished people would stop believing in the myth.  I found myself disliking Kristmas but after getting to know her the reader can only feel sorry for someone who has never felt love.  The writing of Mary Martinez is superb and provides the reader a Christmas romance worth reading.  Each character takes a life all their own.  The reader feels welcomed into the chaos of the season.  I highly recommend the writing of Mary Martinez and her story of a lady Scrooge who is learning the reason for the season, but will she learn to late?
