When it comes to Christmas we are all split between being the cynic (Lenora) and sentimental (Logan). 'Romancing the Grinch' brings these two opposing natures together for this charming festive tale.
Lenora at any time of the year would be described as a 'sarcastic' woman, but Christmas always brought out the 'Grinch' in her.
''While pressing the Close door button, she stared blankly as the woman struggled to run huge gift bags with shiny wrapped presents banging against her legs. As the sliding door dinged shut, Lenora shot her a mischievous grin.''
Enter Logan, her polar opposite in every respect - his bright, cheery, optimistic nature jar with the contrast of Lenora's cynical persona. Yet the pair seem perfectly matched and balance each other out. Her sharp mind and wit combined with his gentile manners and shining warmth. I'm rooting for these two. I do hope RTG's author, Tamara continues their story - perhaps with New Year, Valentines Day etc. I really enjoyed this short but sweet glimpse into an early blossoming love. The characters' interactions are beautifully written and Lenora's dialogue fabulous with her cunning dry sardonic humour.
''Why is someone at my door at eight in the morning, isn't it illegal?''
I get her, as my own humour is somewhat on the dry side.
''It could be worse, you know? I could have a Meth habit!''
I adore the repartee between Lenora and her Logan.
''I have mace and I'm not afraid to use it..'' - Lenora.
''..You threatened to punch Santa.'' - Logan.
The story was touching due to the realistic portrayal of the characters and the interactions between them. Author Tamara Philip shows great promise and I look forward to reading more of her stories. Quite superb. Five stars *****

Even though I got and appreciated most of Lenora's sarcastic humor, her spitefulness made me really dislike her. As such, I really didn't feel that she deserved Logan's attentions. He managed to hit a soft spot within her, but still...
If there was some hint as to why she was such a disagreeable person, I could have given her some slack, and rated this overall delightful story with another star.

I just wish I knew why Lenora was so mean. The writing was good. Logan was very likeable. Would definitely read more from Tamara.
