I really enjoyed this story of Mitch, the soon to be appointed CEO of World of Toys, who loves everything Christmas and Chloe, the advertising executive he hires who hates anything Christmas. Everything bad in her life has happened at Christmas time so she would just like to skip the season. There's undeniable chemistry between the main couple and the secondary characters are great as well, especially her best friend and his meddling sister! Ms. Talley wrote a very sweet novella that takes the reader through Chloe's evolution as Mitch shows her the true spirit and magic of Christmas!

Sweet Holiday Romance
Chloe despises Christmas, because everything bad always happen at Christmas. Then Mitch comes along and she has no clue how to do his advertising, take care of her sick cat, and be professional. They work together super well, too well. I love what Mitch comes up with! What a sweetheart! I adore the idea of a Christmas Eve PJ Party with kiddos that don’t have anything! Awesome!!!

Sweet Christmas romance
Loved the protagonists in the story. It was touching to watch Chloe's understanding of Christmas evolve past her personal pain. Also enjoyed Henry & LeAnne as secondary characters. Wasn't quite sure what to make of her neighbor Jimmy. The story felt a little unfinished at the end, but it was at least happy.

Another really good story, with a good theme and well defined characters. Certainly there's a romance but there are also other kinds of love explored, as well as facing and growing beyond a bitter past.

Changing Her Christmas Mood
She doesn’t like Christmas only bad things happen then. She avoids it at all costs. She’s a workaholic but loves Henry her cat. He is all about Christmas his family owns a large toy company. Good characters and plot.

"I had no choice..."
"...I opened the refrigerator and heard something....eat me, eat me. I'm too lonely in this fridge."
Such a fun look into Mitch's personality.

4.5 stars, really. Overall this was a great little novella. A problem I find with LDS fiction is that it can drag on, but I didn't have that problem with this story. It was very sweet and enjoyable, and it didn't just follow the typical boy-meets-girl formula most books of this genre seem to follow where the couple tend to throw themselves at each other. I'm on the fence about whether or not it needed an epilogue of sorts to find out what happened to the ad campaign, the family and Henry the cat, but overall an enjoyable read.

An adorable Christmas novella with endearing characters and an engaging plot. Even though it's set at Christmas-time, it's a story that can be enjoyed all year long.
