All's Fair in Love and Christmas by Sarah Monzon

 Cover Art

Are you looking for a Christmas book that is also a fun rom-com? All's Fair in Love and Christmas by Sarah Monzon definitely fits that bill. This book made me smile and giggle and was just a great "feel good" read.

Mackenzie Graham is a graphic designer at a small firm. Jeremy Fletcher is her cute co-worker. One day that get called into the boss's office before Christmas. Together they find out that they are in competition for a promotion--a promotion based on generating Christmas spirit in the office. Mackenzie is a quiet, shy person and she just isn't sure she even wants the promotion. However, her mom has early-stage Alzheimer's and needs professional care that is expensive so the raise would help a lot. Jeremy is a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew. He is a good guy but he knows he wants the job to fulfill his career goals and to help care for his young family. With that in mind, the friendly competition begins.

I enjoyed All's Fair in Love and Christmas. I am one of those readers that enjoy Christmas books any time of year as I like the happy, joyful vibes. For this book, I especially enjoyed the quirkiness of the office workers, including Mackenzie. She had some great quotes and references to movies and books that I thought were fun. I also like how the author handled the difficult subjects of Alzheimer's, mental health and a few other struggles. I especially liked how she handled Mackenzie's faith in light of her struggles. Nothing about this book was heavy and the story flowed quickly. I loved the slow burn of the relationship building. I loved the romantic moments. Before that I enjoyed the banter between the couple. I also enjoyed the banter between friends and co-workers. The swoony HOA ending was sigh-worthy. I enjoyed this rom-com all the way around and I would recommend All's Fair in Love and Christmas to anyone else who needs a happy feel-good story.

I purchased a copy of this book from Baker Book House to support the author.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...
