My review:
Presley & Jack
All Presley wants for Christmas is a very well deserved 2 weeks off from work, so she can spend it with her family. Jack has other plans that include work work work, so when Presley won’t budge he invites himself along with her.
Eek, I loved this one! Jake was the perfect workaholic grump and quite possibly my favorite grump ever. He has a sad backstory, so I really loved how he was included in the holiday festivities with Presley’s family. And let me tell you they go all out ~ gingerbread house making contests, ice skating, Christmas movie marathons…the works ~ and each of them truly enjoy spending time together, which was really nice to see.
Presley’s mom, Johanna, was so welcoming and just a lovely person altogether. Of course the 3 brothers have to do their brotherly shenanigans to protect their sister. I really hope there is a planned series with them…wink wink, Ann Einerson.
Overall, a true delight that’ll be sure to get even the grinchiest Grinch’s in the Christmas spirit.
Side note ~ the cover is so adorable and I’m pretty sure I know what shade of pink that is, which makes it extra adorable.
*Thanks to Ann Einerson for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve read it.
Book blurb:
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.
