The Christmas Company

All I can say about this book is that it is brilliant, addicting, memorable....

I picked up this book with medium expectations but this one blew me out of the water. I read this book in three settings. It drew me in from the beginning and would not let go until I had finished it all.

Kate lives and breathes Christmas. It's her favorite time of year when the town of Miller's Point puts on a big Christmas celebration. Only this year, things are about to get more complicated with the arrival of Clark, a wealthy businessman who is shutting down the Christmas Company and defunding the Christmas celebration. He's Scrooge and the Grinch all rolled into one but Kate won't have it.

Her vow to always see the good in people pushes past Clark's rough exterior. There's more to him than the monster everyone makes him out to be. He ruined the town's Christmas and now Kate is determined to get it back. No matter what the cost.

This book is definitely the best book I have read all year. This needs to be made into a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, definitely. I'm giving it five stars.......I wish I could give it more.

This book is rated PG for mild thematic elements including death and alcohol abuse. It's nothing to worry about though. This is still age appropriate for most readers.

This magical Christmas tale has everything I enjoy about Hallmark Christmas stories: captivating characters, witty dialogue, an enchanting town, and sweet romance. I love how this story takes place over a couple of days. It's so easy to lose yourself in the town, characters, and story. I love how the town puts on a play of A Christmas Carol every year and the love interest in this story is a Scrooge himself. This is the perfect book to put yourself in the Christmas spirit and remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas. I enjoyed the fact that there isn't a movie that goes along with the book. This allowed me to imagine the characters the way I wanted instead of picturing the actors in my head as I read the story. However, I really hope this becomes a Hallmark movie in the future because I loved it! I recommend this book for fans of Hallmark movies and Christmas fanatics.
