Billionaire at the Christmas Inn

by Hannah Jo Abbott

He’s a secret billionaire who doesn’t want anything to do with Christmas. She’s sunk every penny into getting her Inn ready for the holiday. Can the season bring hope for them both? Eva Parks loves everything about Christmas. It was her grandparents and their small Inn that made the season magical. Now that they’ve left the Inn to Eva, she’s determined to make the business and the holiday a success. Logan Bradford is a man of responsibility. But family dynamics have made Christmas an unpleasant memory. When his mom decides to reunite everyone under one roof for the holiday, Logan doesn’t want to disappoint her again. An unexpected snowstorm puts Eva and Logan working together in close quarters. Despite his distrust of people, Logan feels comfortable with Eva. But he still doesn’t tell her his big secret. Eva wants to let herself fall for Logan, but she’s been abandoned before, and she’s not ready to risk her heart. Will they open up to each other for Christmas, or will what they don’t say keep them apart?

It was cuteee. It had the vibes of Christmas romcom movies.

[Rachael · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a sweet, Christmas story. The characters are likable and have nice chemistry.

Short, cute, & Christmasy. What's not to like?

edit: I did knock a star off as I think not disclosing an occupation was blown a bit out of proportion.

Would you enjoy reading it again:
No. It was a cookie cutter. There were no jokes. No good descriptions of environments. The characters were flat with no personality. - 1

SUMMARY: *SPOILERS* A guy is a billionaire because his family owns a publishing company; the family is upset with each other because the brother is lazy and doesn't want to work for the company anymore. The family goes to a Christmas Inn to celebrate Christmas where the owner is a woman who ends up falling in love with the billionaire. The billionaire keeps his money a secret because people treat him differently. She finds out he was keeping his money a secret and so they stop seeing each other. But weeks later he puts an ad for her inn in his publishing magazine, which drives up business. She realized the inn is so special because her grandparents did it TOGETHER and so she ends up marrying the billionaire.

Did you enjoy the plot:
It was entertaining but I could have done better, potentially predictable. Despite being cookie cutter, I still enjoy these type of plots ~ but if it wasn't an audiobook then it would be a lot lower - 3

Did you enjoy the writing style:
It stunk; no descriptive language and nothing to keep the reader guessing or intrigued - 1

Good ending?
Very predictable and boring- 2

Format: audiobook (2x) while lifting
Average rating: 2 stars.

A wonderful story!

This was about two people who did not know for sure how to trust someone. She was alone trying to run her Inn and he was finding it was hard to trust that someone would love him more than his money. He had been hurt in the past so he found it difficult to share his life. She was focused on keeping her grandparents Inn running now that hey were gone. He and his brother and their parents came spend Christmas and they really connected but he forgot to be fully honest about who he was. Eventually they found a way to make it work.

What a lovely tale. Stories about billionaires and their love interest who doesn't know how much money they have and only loves them for who they are rather than their wealth are my favorites, as are Christmas stories. I read this author's book for the first time, and I loved it. I have already ordered the next two novels in this series because I was enamored with this one from the first page. I heartily endorse this book. Hanna Jo Abbott performed admirably.

Great story

I don't know why she was so upset about his family money, I don't think that many people discuss their finances in the first week of knowing each other. Seems kind of childish to let that be a killer in the relationship department. It does seem to be a theme in other books as well. I am happy with the overall storyline and the characters. I enjoyed the first book in this series as well. Looking forward to the next book.

Sweet Christmas story with Logan and Eva. I get that Logan wants to be certain to find love for himself and not because of his money and is Eva enjoying Christmas in the inn that is left to her by her grandparents. They both have a hard time with opening up and letting others into their lives which adds some great moments to the story. Feels like a great story for Christmas that can read on its own.

A fun Christmas story

The descriptions are so great that I'd love to call up & try making a reservation.
She is running her grandparents inn after some major repairs and remodeling. She spent lots on Christmas decorations & working to make the Inn feel like home, friendly & cheerful. She succeeded.

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Holly is hired to do the Christmas decorations for Jordan's party, she shows him fun ways to decorate and how to dig deep for his creative side. Holly learns about how little some people have and she digs deep for her charitable side. I enjoyed how they both find joy in their lives and romance.

A Sweet Romance

I love that I could relate fully to this story and its characters, even though he is a paranoid billionaire.

[Courtney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty basic, but pleasant. The billionaire aspect wasn't as much of a "thing" as I would have expected. It was a quick, easy read.

[Reem Eisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story is fun and light, but the writing could have been better. It could have had more depth of characters and a more twists.
