RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Grump who Saved Christmas by Tracy Leigh

There’s a thin line between love and hate. And when we get snowed in with only one bed, we’re about to find out just how thin that line is.

When I first met Callum Reed, I thought he was one of the most handsome men I’d ever seen.

Until he opened his mouth and ruined it all.

Because the sexy-as-sin man dressed in a tailor-made suit is trying to steal my ranch from me.

Okay, technically, he’s trying to buy it from me, but I’d rather swallow a fruitcake whole than watch someone turn this beloved place into a bunch of timeshares for the rich, destroying Christmas at Holley Ridge.

The problem is that Callum Reed doesn’t give up easily, not when he stands to make millions off this property. So instead of walking away with his proverbial tail between his legs, he books a room at my inn for the Christmas season.

The last thing I need during this time of year is a modern-day Grinch staying here.

So I concoct a plan. Flood Callum with a tidal wave of holiday cheer, hoping he’ll flee in the face of too much festivity.

The last thing I expect is for him to actually enjoy himself.

Or volunteer to dress up as Santa for a group of foster kids.

Or help me in my last-ditch effort to save Holley Ridge.

As I start to get a glimpse beneath his gruff exterior, I can’t help but wonder if maybe there's more to Callum Reed than meets the eye.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

If you were to take out all the spice in this book you would have a delightful holiday hallmark story. Now add the spice back in and you have an even better holiday story!

 
Callum wasnt the grumpiest character I've ever read, but he had some feelings about Christmas that definitely put him in the Grinch category. And Parker's idea to get him to leave Holley Ridge, which is basically to bombard him with Christmas, seems like a genius idea, but it course backfires in the most spectacular (and sexy) way.

Callum and Parker were adorable together and once Callum broke away from his bah humbug spirit, I couldn't help but love him. The author managed to include multiple tropes without slowing the story down and it just made the story really enjoyable. 

I love a small town romance and I liked this one a lot. All the side characters piqued my interest and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
