A meddling gran, a protective brother, and a mysterious gnome in the Georgia mountains…
What could possibly go wrong?
Spending Christmas in the mountains with her family is exactly what Kennedy needs. Work has been stagnant, and Norina has always felt like home. But when her parents bail and her brother’s smoking-hot best friend shows up instead, her underwear goes up in flames.
For Jack, a quiet holiday retreat with his best friend’s family is just what his agent ordered, and the small-town, picturesque setting is instantly inspiring. Falling hard for his friend’s sister, however, wasn’t in his latest outline.
Their chemistry is undeniable.
Their timing couldn’t be worse.
As real life waits below the mountain, Kennedy and Jack must make a choice.
Cut their holiday romance short, or let it blossom into an unforgettable love story.
I received this book from the authors for an honest review.
I am a huge fan of both these authors so when they were talking about this series I was all in. Both have great humor and write paranormal so I knew this would be for me. I mean Gnomes appearing in a story…its gotta be amazing!
The book took a great change of pace when our love interest, Jack, was a romance writer. I loved that he was defending what he writes and had crazy granny on his side to Kennedy. (Crazy Granny made the book to be honest. I mean she is what I hope to be when I am older.)
Kennedy and Jack definitely had a good chemistry. They had some hilarious banter especially with Kennedy’s brother in regards to Jack. I really enjoyed the start of the series but admit I was a little let down that the Gnomes were only in a smidgen of the book. I really expected them in more. However maybe they will appear in more with the other books in the series.

Her books may take you on a journey through time, give you a look inside a fantasy realm, or delve into the magic of almost anything paranormal. Threading in heart stopping romance and dropping an occasional super sexy scene just to keep you on your toes.
