Dressed in nothing but Christmas lingerie, Carina has a bellhop deliver her in a gift box to her fiance’s hotel room, but the last thing she expects when she is unwrapped is to see a sexy stranger in holiday boxers who looks like he just stepped off a magazine cover – definitely NOT her fiancé! How in the silver bells was she delivered to the wrong room?
As the owner of a small flower shop, Carina’s surrounded by romance on a daily basis. Her workaholic fiancé has been distant for the past several months, so she decides to drive from Baton Rouge to New Orleans to surprise him on Christmas Eve. However, that distance between them has brought loneliness, and the mere thought of the sexy stranger plucks at her mistletoe. When she discovers the reason for her fiance’s lack of attention, will she put him on Santa’s naughty list and take the stranger for a sleigh ride?
What a fun little Christmas romance. From the big oops of being delivered in her lingerie to the wrong room, the shenanigans continue. I loved that Carina wasn’t a damsel in distress in her fairytale, and the chemistry between her and this “stranger” jumps off the page.
This story was fun and heartfelt and all the gooey feelings I love about Christmas. Carina takes all of the punches of a ruined Christmas Eve and tries to make the best of it. It helps that she just happened to get delivered to someone who would never take advantage of the situation. The chemistry between Carina and Rad is so genuine and sweet. As we learn their sorted history it’s easy to see how the disaster of the unboxing actually opened a door for a real future for them.
If you’re looking for a fun, heartfelt Christmas story, and a girl who doesn’t shy away from confrontation, you’ll really enjoy this story.
