Christmas in Paradise (Love in Paradise Valley) by Brittany Larsen

 

Book Summary:

Could an innocent fling turn into the real thing?

I only want two things out of life: a career as a wedding planner extraordinaire and for Mom to stop treating me like a kid. Is that too much to ask? Probably.

That is, until I get the chance to plan a televised, Christmas-themed wedding a thousand miles away from Mom in Paradise, Idaho. It seems like all my dreams might be coming true.

Until I encounter the one thing that threatens to sidetrack me: a smoking, hot smolder.

Sebastian Sparks has all the swagger and smirk to back up his smolder, and I know I’m in trouble the minute he saunters up to me. But underneath his bad boy image is a surprising vulnerability that’s evident the minute I climb onto the back of his bike.

His e-bike.

He’s supposed to be a fling. Now he wants more.

But he has no idea what he’s getting into with me, and the whole town seems to be conspiring against my efforts to keep a safe distance from him.

When we have to work together to plan Paradise's first Julefest, Sebastian is determined to prove he’s more than fling-worthy. He’s a man ready to give up everything, including the thing he’s most afraid of. I want to believe him, but I’ve got more than my own heart to protect.

Despite the missing elves, Danish pancake disasters, and gingerbread house fires that threaten to make the first Julesfest, the last, the electricity between us is enough to power every twinkling Christmas light in Paradise.

Then there’s the mistletoe mishap. The invasive weed is all over the place, including every doorway of the cabin where we get stranded.

But it will take more than attraction and close proximity to keep us together. There’s another heart Sebastian has to win if we’re going to find our own slice of paradise this Christmas. Is it too much to hope our love story might be the most memorable one this holiday season?

Dive into Christmas In Paradise, a closed-door, he-falls-first, sweet romantic comedy where love, laughter, meddling townspeople, and a little bit of holiday magic might just be the recipe for a happily ever after.

My Review:

This next book in the Love in Paradise Valley series is so good! I loved Seb and Hope! I wondered if the bad boy would be able to have a real relationship. From laugh out loud moments to sweet and tender scenes, Christmas in Paradise has it all. I loved Uncle Rad and her many adventures, her antics kept me laughing and page turning. Charly was the sweetest and had my heart from the start. Watching Hope and Seb grow as people was a beautiful part of the story. I loved how this book had it all! Laughter, romance, and family. I absolutely loved the emphasis of family and how that can be blood related or friend/community related. A feel good clean RomCom, Christmas in Paradise made me long for snow, family, and fun! 

I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!
