A Convenient Christmas
Abigail Smith loves Christmas so much she made it her business. Whether it's simple gift wrapping or arranging a sit-down feast, clients of A Convenient Christmas can count on Abby to meet all of their holiday needs. When her oldest and dearest client hires her to add a little cheer to her son's life, Abby is up for the challenge.
Until he fires her.
Finn Edenbury is too busy trying to get through the holiday season to enjoy it. The divorced dad is not looking forward to spending this year alone since his daughter, Melody, will be with his ex. Which might be why he overreacted when he found a beautiful, tree trimming woman in his living room.
An unexpected change of plans mean Finn will spend the holidays with his little girl after all. Finn turns to Abby with an apology and a request: help him make Melody's Christmas magic.
The Queen of Christmas can hardly say no even if she still thinks he's a bit of a Scrooge. That is, until they spend time together. These two opposites end up wanting something for Christmas that neither of them expected: each other.

“But don’t worry, Finn. After this, you’re going to believe in magic.”
Abby & Finn’s story was adorably sweet. This story would make a perfect Hallmark movie! It even reminded me a bit of A Miracle on 34th Street in terms of finding the magic that comes with Christmas. As someone who absolutely loves the magic of Christmas, I loved how this was important to Abby, as it’s something that’s really important to me as well around the holidays.
I loved how unapologetic Abby was about her job & the joy she brings to others through that. It’s easy to see how good she was at it & why she had so many clients looking for her help over the holidays. It was sweet how committed Finn was to making sure his daughter Melody had the best holiday & that he could see how much help Abby could provide for him. I loved that their connection grew over time and how they were able to work through their issues in the end.
If you love Hallmark movies, holiday romance, single dad romance & that sometimes the magic of Christmas has to be discovered, you’ll love Abby & Finn’s story.

This was such a fun, feel-good Christmas romance! I enjoyed the opposites attract dynamic between Abby, the Christmas queen, and Finn, who was more than a little bit of a Scrooge.
Watching Finn and Abby go from getting off on the wrong foot to slowly realizing there was something more between them was delightful. And Melody was a sweet addition to the story. Abby wanting to make Christmas special for her made the whole romance feel even more meaningful. She made it the perfect holiday for all of them!
There was plenty of holiday charm, some great chemistry, and just the right amount of family and heartwarming moments. If you're looking for a Christmas romance with a Scroogish single dad and a woman who is the walking/talking definition of Christmas, you'll want to grab this book for the holiday season!

I love Abby’s job. She organizes, decorates, and makes sure everyone has a wonderful Christmas. She’s basically like a little Christmas elf!
Finn is the Grinch himself, but you can’t really blame him once you find out why he no longer enjoys Christmas. He also is a very protective father
I really enjoyed the friendship between Abby and her best friend Evie. She and her husband, Brent are really close to Abby and I loved seeing their little trio.
I recommend this amazing christmas holiday romance.
