Fudge, I'm Good: Merry Fudgin' Christmas
Grinchy Meets Sunshine & The Sparks Fly! Christmas. Magic. Everywhere.
Maebry
I am not a grinch. I’ll show them.
If putting up a dang Christmas tree will get my friends off my back this year, then that’s what I’ll do.
The only problem? It’s the day before Christmas and every place is sold out…so unless I drive up the mountain to the Christmas tree farm to get a real one, I’m out of luck.
Ok, so maybe that wasn’t the only problem. There’s also treacherous roads and a snowstorm I’m liable to get trapped by.
Not to mention Hodan, the oddly sunshiney mountain man who owns the tree farm…and, apparently, according to my heart, he now also owns me. From the second I lock eyes with the burly man and his pot-of-golden-sunshine eyes. To the too-fast end of our time being stranded together.
What if I didn’t just put up a Christmas tree?
What if, together with Hodan, I actually saved—freaking—Christmas?
These ten women have had it with lots of things this season. They're done with the gimme-gimme customers, the people looking for the "perfect" gift who have no clue what the person likes, and serving the hundredth peppermint latte of the day.
They've gone...grinchy.
But...
They're about to meet a man who is full of the holiday spirit that they've run out of. He's going to help them find their love for the season and in the process they'll share lots of fudgin' fun.

Maebry's friends think she is a grinch, but she has a good reason to not want to celebrate Christmas. After being made to feel bad for not even having a Christmas tree up, Maebry goes in search of one on Christmas Eve. But all the tree lots have sold out, her only option is to visit the Christmas tree farm, but travelling up the mountain when a storm is brewing may not be the best idea.
Hodan owns the Christmas tree farm, he offers Maebry shelter in his cabin from the snow. They are attracted to each other and after getting to know each other better, end up giving into that attraction. But what will happen when the storm ends and its time for Maebry to go home.
This is a short Christmas themed romance story. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

I loved Fudge, I'm Good: Book 5 of Merry Fudgin' Christmas. These stories are hilarious. Maebry is a grinch and Hodan is basically Christmas. Opposites definitely attract in this story. While they both have reasons to dislike Christmas, Hodan decided to over celebrate while Maebry went the opposite and hates it; but one Christmas letter will help bring the Christmas spirit back to Maebry. Such a great storyline and lovable characters. This story brought a few tears but in a good way. I would definitely recommend this book and the whole series.

Tarin Lex joins the fabulous Merry Fudgin' Christmas multi-author series with Fudge, I'm Good. Maebry is all kinds of grinchy, but almost out of spite, she stubbornly heads out on Christmas Eve looking for a tree. With every place out of stock, she heads up the mountain to the source - and promptly gets caught in a storm. Hodan lives by himself on the mountain, and when the gorgeous, curvy Maebry appears, the town's "Santa" just might be able to capture the grinch's heart. A fun, quick, steamy holiday romance that is a wonderful addition to this fantastic series.

A grumpy sunshine romance with a woman who hates Christmas and a Christmas tree farmer who doubles as Santa. Guilted into buying a tree she heads up to his tee farm, but a snowstorm keeps her there over night. Instantly Hodan knows that Maebry is the one for him. Her curves draw her in, her grumpiness drives him to make her smile, her heart wins his over in no time. This is a quick, sweet, and steamy romance that will put you in the Christmas mood. When Christmas needs saving for a boy in the hospital, these two get a chance to see what they can accomplish together. I loved and adored this couple.

A cute Christmas love story
Enjoyed reading how Hodan and Maebry's love story. It was kind of Ms Scrooge meets Santa. She was depressed during the holidays, for very good reasons. He was too but preferred to be happy as Santa. It was sweet how they got together and overall a truly good Christmas story. I'm originally from snow country so it was easy to visualize that storm coming through. I hope whoever reads this review, will read the book and enjoy it as much as I have. Written by Cindy :)

This is a short, sweet, Holiday romance between a Hodan/Santa and Maebry/Grinch. When Maebry's friends start calling her the Grinch she decides to prove that she's not that bad so she heads to Hodan's tree farm to buy a Christmas tree. I loved Hodan and his Holiday cheer and how he was determined to give Maebry some Christmas cheer. Fudge, I'm Good is a great addition to the multi-author Merry Fudgin' Christmas series and I look forward to reading the rest of this fun series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Living in the moment.
Wonderful story. They call her Grinch so, she’s determined to prove them wrong. She goes in search of a Christmas tree on the Eve of it and the only way Maeby will get one is to drive up the mountain to the farm. To Hodan and all of his sunshiny personality. Hodan is happy to see her and intends to show her the joy that can be had in the season. What neither counts on is a snowstorm trapping them together. Will a heart grow three sizes this year?.

many reason not to like the Christmas holidays. Many reasons to love it. Marbry Is a hot mess to be Grinch it out. But finding a tress might change her perspective. Holiday Storm is not a theme. Finding a reason to like or love the holiday is more a second chance on life that not. A definitely feel good read that makes you laugh eventually. good read. no cliff it's the holiday!.

An Odd Couple But It Really Works!
Tarin Lex brings in her own special brand of heat in “Fudge, I’m Good!” her contribution to the multiauthor Merry Fudgin’ Christmas series. Hoban and Maebry are an odd couple. He’s big, burly, and cheerful. She’s small, curvy, and full of piss and vinegar. He’s the Santa Claus to her Grinch, and somehow it just works in this steamy, over-the-top, instalove story that sets the tone for a hot and sexy holiday!

Maebry is a little Grinch and her friends needle her a bit with it on Christmas Eve. Now she wants to get a last minute Christmas tree, but they are sold out. So the Christmas farm it is😉 Hodan meets Maebry when she tries to reach his tree farm. They see each other and fall head over heels in love 🥰 Instalove, OTT sweet, with a bit steam, romantic and safe with a great HEA and a sweet storyline 😍😍😍

Determined not to be the grinch her co-workers were saying she was, Maebry was going to get a Christmas tree, no matter what the weather was doing when she gets lost.
Hoden finds Maebry and offers to help when she gets caught in the storm. This is a fast sweet story of Hoden melting Maebry heart and having her finding love in the process.

Tarin Lex is one of my all time favourite authors. I've read everything she's written. This book is of her usual high standard. Maebry has to put up a Christmas tree but the only way is to drive up into the mountains to buy a tree. She gets stranded with Hodan the Christmas tree farm. This book is a excellent addition to the the Merry Fudgin Christmas.

A quick insta-love romance. Maebry has been a grinch at Christmas the past few years. She takes her friend’s dare to try and find a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. From the moment Hoden sees Maebry standing on his porch, he knows he’s found the on he’s been waiting for. Maebry and Hoden are great together. There are many emotions and these two end up saving not only each other but Christmas too. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I rate this book 3.5 stars.
I thought that Maebry was quite grinchy but loved how smitten Hodan was as soon as he saw her. Maebry actually turns out to be quite sweet and caring as the story goes on. It actually ends up as quite a cute romance.

This was a cute forced proximity romance. The story was short and sweet, just the right thing to dive into if you’re pressed for time but still want to read. I liked the connection between Hodan and Maebry, they were a cute couple. I liked this story.

Our Ms. Grinch ended up saving Christmas. It's an insta love story and our MMC managed to change our FMC's outlook on Christmas. It's definitely hot while snow is falling but the letter of the child is heartwarming.
I love Christmas story and this is a wonderful one.

Another wonderful story in the Merry Fudgin' Christmas series, it's a well-written fast-paced instalove novella, Maebry is the Grumpy heroine in this story and she's cute, sweet and likable. She's off on Christmas Eve looking for a tree and ends up on Hodan's tree farm. They have an instant spark and Hodan sets out to show Maebry that Christmas isn't all that bad. Sweet story.
November 10, 2022
Sweet holiday read when Maebry decides she needs a Christmas tree, in walks Santa/Hodan himself willing to fulfill her wish and possibly his too. Quick short with a good discussion of what Christmas means to them of delivering hope to those who need it the most.

Loved it! For a short book, it had a very fleshed out storyline that was sweet and satisfying. Very obviously a Christmas book which shouldn’t need to be pointed out but I’ve read a lot of Christmas books that are just books with a passing mention of the holiday and no real connection. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
November 7, 2022
Loving the newest book in the Merry Fudgin Christmas series. Christmas has been rough for Maebry and I love how she gets her Christmas spirit back with Hodan. These two gave the perfect holiday happily ever after. Always a wonderful read from the amazing Tarin Lex.
