Cover Description:
Lauren Hall has one wish for Christmas this year—raise money to build a new, no-kill animal shelter for the town of Sycamore Cove. And she is prepared to do anything to make it happen. Even dare a man she just met to perform a strip tease for the local knitting society.
Gabe Nicholson has one wish too—obtain the job of a lifetime to launch his career. Only his wishes get snowballed when his best friend’s little sister hands him a pair of stripper pants and a bottle of eggnog-flavored body oil.
It’s all sugar plums and mistletoe until a scandal caused by Lauren’s fundraiser threatens to ruin it all. With Gabe’s work opportunities disappearing before his eyes and Lauren’s fundraising efforts tanking, their game of dares stands to burn them both. Unless it ignites a spark of Christmas magic.
Stand Alone Title (at this time)
Lauren and Gabe make an interesting couple, each have their own goals for this Christmas season. Lauren’s is to raise enough money to build a no-kill animal shelter in her small town. Gabe’s is the ideal job he’s been dreaming of for a long time. When you toss in an overprotective brother into the mix then you have a fun and quirky set of dares between two people who are trying to deny their attraction to each other… and failing badly.
There are definitely sexy times to be had in this story. So if you’re looking for a sweet and clean romance, expect some sex to be going on.
I enjoyed this story but I wasn’t blown away by it. I wish I had been but some of the dares were simply too over the top for me, personally. Still, it’s a good story with some laugh out loud moments
