I really enjoyed this romance but it did get boring at times. Both Ellie and Matthew have the hots for each other and childishly try to pretend they don't and do things to hurt one another but they eventually become involved even though they both are harboring some strong issues on being in relationships.

Ring in the Holidays is the second book in Katie Lane’s Hunk for the Holidays Series. The series is about the wealthy and successful McPherson siblings finding love. The first book, Hunk for the Holidays, was about the only sister. This one is about the youngest brother, Matthew “Matt” McPherson and the Sex Therapist that he meets in Las Vegas named Dr. Ellie Simpson.

While ringing in the new year with his friends, very eligible Matt McPherson makes a bet with his friends that lead him to proposition the very sexy but virginal Dr. Ellie Simpson. This proposition leads to a unforgettable one night stand where neither person knows the other’s name but wish that they had. The craziest thing about it all is that Matt has slept with over a hundred women while Ellie had just now had sex for the first time. Fast forward eleven months later and neither one has forgotten about the other nor had sex with anyone else. They both lived in different parts of the country until Ellie and her best friend/assistant Sidney decide to move to Denver where Matt also happens to live. However, what brings them together again is the book about abstinence that Matt’s mother gives to his sister. Ellie wrote the book and Matt sees her picture which allows him to find her at a book signing. Sadly, Ellie has a lot of baggage due to her father’s sex addiction that makes her opposed to having any future contact with Matt who she puts in the same category as her father. Luckily for Matt, Ellie is intrigued by his sexual background so she agrees to be his therapist while she secretly uses him as material for a new book.

I don’t want to give too much away so I will just say that everything that happens from start to finish in Ring in the Holidays is entertaining. The dialogue is witty and intelligent. Ellie and Matt have plenty of sexual chemistry but they are also good together in other areas. In addition, the McPherson family is just as intriguing. Their Aunt Wheezie is the ultimate matchmaker so she finds a way to meddle in her family’s lives and they don’t even know that they are being manipulated. She’s the smartest old lady that you will ever see. Nothing in the book was predictable except for the happily ever after which was very refreshing.
