This book is everything you want your Christmas romcom to be: fun, funny, sexy, and utterly delectable. From the first pages, I was into the characters and the storyline.
A Very Bossy Christmas is the tale of how two people that seemingly can’t stand each other find that their great dislike for one another may not be dislike after all. Damon Fitzgerald is Kate Flowers’ demanding jerk of a boss, but Kate gives as good as she gets and doesn’t hesitate to put him in his place. At the start, Kate’s car breaks down and is impounded, and she needs to make it home for Christmas. After a hellish day that’s partially Damon’s fault, she goes out for a drink, and he winds up at the same bar. As the liquor flows, Kate divulges her problems of having no car and a horrible ex that has infiltrated her family, and it’s very drunkenly decided that Damon will help her out. By the next morning, Kate has both a hangover and morning-after amnesia when Damon comes to pick her up for the long drive to Kate’s family’s home. He insists, which results in hilarity, and from there they navigate this situation that they’ve gotten themselves into with so much humor and sexiness.
I loved the premise of this story. It’s like a sexy Hallmark movie. It has all the sweetness and playfulness but with plenty of steaminess to it. And what I like so much about that? It’s interspersed throughout the story. I don’t think I ever felt like the story was lacking or like I was waiting on something to happen. It all played out the way it needed to and when it needed to.
Something else I enjoyed about this book was all the detail. From those first pages, I could feel how Kate felt and imagine how the events unfolded in such vivid detail. Kate’s car getting towed in Chicago in the winter? While I know that exact feeling (I too have been towed in Chicago in the bitter winter), the way it’s written you can just feel Kate’s exasperation and desperation. The character details Winter gives are written in such a way that you become immersed in them. Don’t worry though. It’s not so much detail that you’re wondering when she’ll get to the point.
This is the perfect book if you’re looking for a sexy Christmas romcom that will have you equally laughing and swooning.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
