I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story about Ginger and Connor. I really enjoyed these two characters and the things that they were able to do together even though there was a misunderstanding. They have the magnetic attraction when they meet at a singles mixer event that Ginger has been asked to run, by the end they have a disagreement about the dirty Santa gift and they both think they ruined things. Their friends talk them into discussing their differences and Ginger’s brother sends Connor to help his sister with the sets for the community play. It’s amazing how communication can solve mini issues and they eventually have a you hopefully happy ending.

Ginger de Piper Cook

Argumento:

Cuando un juego de Dirty Santa se calienta, ¿se caldearán los ánimos o nuestros traviesos elfos se portarán bien?

Ginger

Es la reunión anual de solteros de Cranberry Corner. Como soy introvertida, es el último lugar en el que quiero estar. Pero mi entrometido hermano me ofreció ser la anfitriona de la fiesta. Mi plan de pasar desapercibida se ve frustrado cuando un invitado a la fiesta sigue robando mi regalo de Papá Noel sucio.

Puede que sea el hombre más atractivo que he visto en mi vida, pero eso no significa que pueda arruinar la diversión navideña. Este Grinch ladrón de regalos está a punto de recibir una dosis de mi espíritu festivo.

Connor

Soy de orígenes humildes y crecí sin todos los lujos que tenían mis compañeros. Mi familia dependía de la generosidad de desconocidos en tiempos difíciles. Ahora que puedo, me esfuerzo por contribuir a la comunidad. Si bien mi espíritu está lleno de buenas intenciones y alegría navideña, mi corazón carece de amor.

Se necesita un milagro de Navidad para que se produzca una conexión amorosa durante las fiestas, pero la fiesta de solteros de Cranberry Corner es un lugar festivo para empezar. Me enamoré al instante de la anfitriona de pelo rojo de la noche. Pero cuando un juego de Dirty Santa sale mal, descubro que es tan ardiente como su pelo y el doble de luchadora.

Ella es todo lo que quiero…y no sólo para Navidad.



Mi humilde opinión:

Romance corto navideño, pueblo pequeño, atracción instantánea.

Ginger y Connor se ven por primera vez y es amor a primera vista pero un malentendido por culpa del Dirty Santa los separará…

Connor y Ginger se miran a través del salón y caen por el otro, me pareció adorable el detalle que los dos sean pelirrojos. No podía creer que él no le explicara enseguida lo del juguete para Christopher y quedara como el villano! Qué iba a pensar ella? Les tomó una semana volver a verse y aclarar las cosas y confesar que se enamoraron… sí, un poco apresurado pero bueno es un instalove.

En general la historia entretenida y dulce, con mucho espíritu navideño y un lindo mensaje: ayudar a los que lo necesitan y que se escuche tu voz.

I adored Ginger and Conner in this fantastic Christmas romance. They have an instant connection bolstered by time spent together at a singles mixer. She’s nervous about hosting and he has a calming effect on her that she didn’t expect. When a gift exchange game gets heated, misunderstandings cause mixed feelings. Luckily Christmas is a perfect time for forgiveness, second chances, and love. When Ginger needs help with the after school Christmas play, her brother sends Conner to help. I loved watching them bond over tacos, builds, and laughter. This book will keep you smiling and thrill you with its ending.

The sixth book in Piper Cook's Cranberry Corner story is Ginger, another wonderful swoon-worthy and romantic instalove. After being cajoled into escaping her comfort zone and hosting the holiday singles mixer, drama teacher Ginger finds herself connecting with handsome architect Connor - until a game of Dirty Santa goes awry. Can their mutual friends help them salvage what might be the best thing to happen to either of them? A fun, quick, romantic holiday instalove.

Ginger met Conner and the singles mixer that she was coerced into running. It was love at first sight. When a misunderstanding caused Ginger to push Conner away he wasn’t going to give up on her. Ginger realises her mistake and their relationship takes a heated turn! Sweet, steamy romance with amazing chemistry, a sweet, caring hero, a feisty heroine and a wonderful HEA.

This is a wonderful addition to the Cranberry Corner series, it's well-written and quickly to read. Can be read as a standalone story. Ginger and Connor meet when Ginger is emcee at the annual holiday singles mixer and they hit it off immediately until Connor steals a gift in the Dirty Santa game... fun and sweet with wonderful likable characters.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving Cranberry Corners. Ginger was roped into hosting the singles mixer & Conner was there with his friend, who hit it off with Ginger's best friend Rachel. Things go awry during the Dirty Santa game but they work it out & find their happy ending.

Ginger and Connor were great together. They both had insecurities but felt a connection that couldn’t be explained. Lots of sizzle, misunderstandings and an appearance from Mr. Jack makes this a wonderful Christmas story. I recently an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ended with a HFN instead of a HEA and it was also really quickly ended, almost rushed.

I really enjoyed Ginger and Connor's story. This was fun, quick and entertaining read. I liked the Dirty Santa game that Ginger was overseeing as part of her duties as the hostess of the party. Once these two locked eyes with one another the sparks began to fly. A great holiday read with a great HEA.
