Kayla Green is a rising star for her marketing firm. She'd be the happiest girl in the place if it weren't for the office Christmas party right outside. Kayla, it turns out, doesn't like Christmas. In fact, she accepts an assignment to go to a remote lodge just to get away from the celebrating. 

Jackson O'Neil was once a very successful entrepreneur. Now, he's left his business behind to help try and save his family's once-popular resort. His grandparents and mother have been working at it for years but it's just fallen out of favor with the general public. Now he's hoping that Kayla Green can help them pull it into the 21st century.

While the resort is indeed festive, Kayla Green is not prepared for Jackson's family and the warmth that she receives from them. Nor is she ready for the attraction that she and Jackson feel for each other. She lost the dream of happily-ever-after a long time ago and she doesn't want to reintroduce the hope that led to such heartbreak in her past.

The reviewers at Smart Bitches Trashy Books talked this book up so much I jumped at the chance to read the ARC from NetGalley. It's a good first full-length novel. I didn't connect fully with Kayla and there were some plot points that I thought weren't quite wrapped up fully but I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
