Scrooging Christmas

Sarah Ready — 2022

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A SCROOGE?Professional holiday decorator Natalie Fiorre loves tinsel, gingerbread, and the magic of Christmas. She believes there isn't anything in the world that a dash of Christmas Spirit can't fix-until she meets Gabe. Perpetual Scrooge Gabe Cavanaugh loathes candy canes, jingle bells, and all things merry and bright. He believes Christmas is the worst time of year. So when Miss Christmas and Mr. Scrooge meet, sparks fly. When Gabe threatens to evict Natalie and her neighbors on Christmas she does what any right-minded Christmas-lover would do... Natalie has two days to stop the evictions and help Gabe discover the magic of Christmas, but a lot can go wrong in two days, and in Romeo, the soul mate capital, there's another kind of magic in the air. A delightfully cheeky rom com romp through the holidays, Scrooging Christmas is Book Seven in the Soul Mates in Romeo Romance Series by Sarah Ready.

Real live Christmas Fairy takes on a Real Estate Mogul - determined to bring this Scrooge some Christmas Cheer!

Natalie may no longer live in Romeo but she still holds true to the legend of Miss Erma and she holds a special present just awaiting her soul mate's arrival. But a last-minute Christmas Decor job leads to her meeting the real live Grinch! Then dumped by her useless boyfriend she makes the best/worst decision of her life when fate puts Gabe in her car.

Gabe hates Christmas with a passion. Tragedy haunts him and now his entire workforce feels his wrath at what should be a happy time. A dustup with his otherwise perfect woman leaves him all kinds of tangled. Her fatal flaw? She embodies everything Noel!

Between tying him up in Christmas lights, tossing him in the boot and driving them to her family's cabin - Natalie is all in to convince the Grinch that he can't evict families (and her) from their building at Christmas.

The plans and lengths that Natalie will go to to get Gabe to change his mind go from unplanned to downright crazy! An impulsive person to say the least the hilarity just gets cranked higher when her family turns up and crashes her Christmas indoctrination!

Natalie's family, especially her gran, is an absolute scream and everything you'd want in a family. They are clearly tight-knit and their family traditions may be whacky but they work for them. The chemistry burns fast and bright for these two and the romance is instant and intense! The backstory to Gabe's grumpiness will leave you in tears and I really hope we get to see more of that in further books.

I dare you to read this and not get into the holiday spirit - even if you're like me and hate the mention of THAT word until at least the end of November!
