Pining for You
Are you ready to meet your next Man of the Month? From USA Today bestselling author Gail Haris, Pining For You, is a workplace, holiday, small town romantic comedy. Two people who both work at a tourist destination, complete with a troublemaking but big-hearted socialite, and a naughty but nice bartender. Rosemary has always been the princess of the Hayes Empire. When her brother, Sullivan, proposes she take charge of the winter holiday season at their resort in the Magnolia Point, she already has a Christmas Ball in mind. She's ready to do what Rosemary Hayes does best - be over the top.
What she doesn't expect is for her brother to recruit Alexi Diakos. Why does she need help from the playboy bartender?
Alexi left Candy Cane Key because he was burnt out on Christmas. He still loves the holiday, but he grew up living it every single day. The whole reason for leaving was getting a job where he gets to experience other holidays.
Yet now his boss, Sullivan Hayes, wants him to assist in the planning of a Christmas Ball. The word 'no' was on the tip of his tongue until he learned that it wasn't Mr. Hayes he'd be assisting but Miss Rosemary Hayes. The boss's sister. The one he's been pining for since he first laid eyes on her.
One problem. Rosemary doesn't want him or his help.
Alexi is confident he can prove he's the best man for the job when it comes to all things Christmas. But can he show her he's more than a delicious cocktail of handsomeness and mistletoe knowledge?
Will Alexi be left pining for his boss... Or does he get to be the last dance with the belle of the ball?
Find out what trouble Rosemary and Alexi get into while planning the first ever Christmas Ball at Haye's Resort. The Man of the Month Club is a steamy small-town collection featuring a new hottie (or two!) every month. In 2024, escape to Magnolia Point, and celebrate ALL the holidays with your favorite group of romance authors. Can’t wait to see you there!

Pining for You by Gail Haris is part of the Man of the Month Club : Magnolia Point and an absolutely funny novella!
Rosemary Hayes has enough of being the little princess in her family. She's definitely capable to support the family firm!
So she wants to create the perfect Christmas experience for everyone in Magnolia Point. But what she doesn't want is help from barkeeper Alexi Daikos. With his good looks, but cheesy flirtations, he's not what she likes... right?!
This novella was a really really quick read and totally funny! Of course I had to role my eyes a lot because of Alexi's weird, but funny, pick up lines... but he was really kinda cute too.
Although it's more a Christmas themed novella, it also had some really deep moments. Liked that a lot!
Rosemary is such a great character! A self-confident, young woman. Trying to deal with the family business and the attraction to Alexi.
If you wanna get in the mood for Christmas with lot of humour, sexy times and quotes that hits you right in the heart - read Pining for You!
Thanks a lot to Gail Haris for this ARC.

Rosemary Hayes is a misunderstood girl that’s just trying to get her family to treat her like the adult and awesome woman she is. Alexi Diakos is the guy who sees her value but also her beauty.
Alexi ensures through his punny ways, that Rosemary not only sees herself through different eyes, but also sees him in a different light.
In a quick, whirlwind of a romance, Rosemary and Alexi are ready to step things up to the next level. Another sweet romance in the Man of the Month Club and a favorite of mine of Gail’s!

What an adorable short story! It can be read as a standalone but I really loved discovering these two from Mermaid for You.
The handsome Greek Adonis, Alexi is irresistible. As much as Rosemary tries to avoid his charm all while playing flirting back was fun from the beginning.
Who wouldn’t love the attention and love from someone like Alexi?
Two people needing to prove themselves to their families all while finding love.
Prepare to laugh and swoon.

Pining For You is part of A Man of the Month Club. It’s a small town, opposites attract romance.
Alexi and Rosemary’s story was a short and cute novella that took place in Magnolia Point at the Hayes Resort. I loved Alexi’s fun personality. Such a flirt, yet he only had eyes for Rosemary. Entertaining banter and sweet moments.

Cute story but the incorrect words throughout became so distracting it made the book difficult to finish. Poorly edited books in this series were common.
