Christmas In Spite Of You is a wonderful Christmas romance that will leave you with all the feels! I don't think there is a couple I love more than Noel and Kanton!

Noel loves the holidays and embraces it to the fullest. She has a lot to be grateful for - a close-knit family, a supportive best friend, her own business. This year, however, her business has been struggling and she needs money. She decides to rent out her apartment on Shared Space for the week of Christmas while she visits her family.
Kanton owns a successful financial restructuring firm and is dedicated to his work. He wants to take his company to the top, so when he is presented with the possibility to secure a multi-million dollar deal, he immediately jumps on it. He doesn't mind missing out on Christmas, especially considering he's never had the best experience with Christmas and the holiday season in general. He rents an apartment on Shared Space and heads down to Atlanta the week of Christmas. He is hopeful until he arrives and finds the owner still in her apartment. Noel is not leaving, and Kanton needs this deal, so they're forced to make it work.

I loved everything about this book! Noel is such a ray of sunshine - she is hopeful, she is funny, she's a romantic, she is a breath of fresh air. Kanton, on the other hand, is all business. He is a grump and a bit of a scrooge, however he has his reasons.
I just knew I was going to love these two from their very first interaction. They are complete opposites, with one loving Christmas and the other not caring for it. Being forced to cohabitate together during the holidays, Kanton and Noel start forming a connection that's undeniable. It was refreshing watching Kanton open up and Noel start to give in. The spicy scenes were definitely there, and by the end of each of them I was rooting for Kanton and Noel more and more! And I loved Simone! We all need one of her in our lives lol.
A spicy, romantic holiday read! 5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley, Black Odyssey, and K.C. Mills for such a delightful ARC!

This was such a perfect read for the holiday season. It has the best grumpy/sunshine vibes and felt like a fun hallmark movie. Noel and Kanton get stuck together and immediately just clash (and then don’t!). I loved it!

Black Odyssey Media and NetGalley provided an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

If you’re a fan of the opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity holiday movies then you will like this fluffy Christmas romance story.
