Should I have trusted my tyrannical boss when he promised he’d get me home for the holidays? Absolutely not.

He gassed up his private jet and decided he’d be joining me so we could close this massive deal before the new year.

There are three conditions to him coming home with me:

1. My family can’t know that he’s my boss (See note above about him being a tyrant)
2. I will absolutely be getting a big fat raise
3. He has to help me with my holiday wishlist

What’s worse than my boss stealing Christmas? Him pretending to be my boyfriend.

Since he’s faking being in love with me, my mom put us together in my childhood bedroom with just one bed to share.

When the mistletoe comes out, I can’t help but wonder what would happen if my hot as coal boss and I were underneath.

Jack Sinclair is nothing but determined to get everything he wants this Christmas and it looks like I’m at the top of his list.

I’ve been lucky enough to receive an ARC of the last two books written by Ann Einerson. And let me tell you I’ve loved them. So when I first read about ‘If You Give a Grump a Holiday Wishlist’, I was immediately excited. Especially since I love Christmas stories.

In ‘If You Give a Grump a Holiday Wishlist’ we read the story of Jack and Presley. From the moment Presley started working for Jack, Jack has been determined to keep things professional between them. Not only because that’s the right thing to do, but also because he instantly felt this connection to Presley. And the last thing he needs is a distraction. So he keeps his distance, and definitely isn’t nice or appreciative.

Presley is determined to finally take two weeks off from work after having worked non-stop for months. It’s time to get away from her handsome, but grump of a boss. The last thing Presley expected is to be forced to take her ‘boss’ with her to her parents house to spend Christmas. And things get even more confusing when he expects her to act like his fake girlfriend.

‘If You Give a Grump a Holiday Wishlist’ was fun and short novella I definitely enjoyed. From the moment I started reading, I found myself hooked to the pages. We read this story through both Preston and Jack’s point of view and it was really entertaining. I laughed, and I swooned while reading these pages. Yes, the romance part moves pretty quick.. but since it’s a novella, it fits.

Next to a fun romance, I loved getting to know Preston’s family a little bit. And I definitely hope we get to read more about her brothers?! Ann Einerson really knows how to write some entertaining characters. Add in my favorite holiday, and I had a great evening.
