Jingle Belles: Raechel

by Rose Walken

As the youngest billionaire CEO on the east coast of the United States, Talon Grant has everything he's ever wanted. His security tech company is set to take over America and allows him to provide his family with a luxurious lifestyle. When his new assistant, Raechel, enters his life, he isn’t sure how he ever got along without her. But outside the office, he's realized something is missing...

For over three months, Raechel Winters has worked alongside her focused—and mystifyingly single—boss, Talon Grant. But after ninety-four days (who’s counting?) of becoming indispensable as his assistant, she’s clueless on how to move things to a personal level. The annual Grant Security, Inc. holiday party is her chance to turn that around. Queue her two best girlfriends, also single and ready to mingle!

What none of them predicts is a series of pitfalls that seems destined to foil all their plans, including a potential rival for Talon’s heart. As the girls’ attempts to help Raechel’s love life throws them into the paths of their own messy happily-ever-afters, confusion and hilarity ensue. But beware, only one will be the belle of this jingle ball!

Light and fluffy holiday fun!

It wasn't like Rae to muddy the waters between her personal and work lives. But as she caught Talon's eyes on her, she realized she no longer cared.

Raechel's story was filled with fast-paced banter between three friends who attend a work Christmas party together. Their mission? To figure out how Raechel's boss, Talon, feels about her . . . because she is smitten.

Spoiler alert, there's an HEA. 😍😍

"It's the first time in three months that I've even allowed myself to hope that you feel the same bit of magic I feel when I'm with you."

If you're into . . .

This is supposed to be a funny story, but I didn't see anything funny. To me the characters seemed juvenile and some of the language in their conversations I didn't care for.I found the main characters to be annoying I just couldn't get interested in the story or the characters, so didn't finish reading.
