finished reading

This is a re-read.  I still loved all the cliches.  I do love the insta-love at first sight.  I had forgotten that there is a lot of profanity.  I hope my book group can take it!  Here's my original review:

An aptly named story that included all the Christmas cliches!  But it worked!  This is a fun, feel-good book that was a quick read.  I loved the premise, that Allie is a down-to-earth sister of twin celebutant reality stars.  And her bestie was adorably out of touch.  Family is a big part of this rom-com and again, all the cliches worked.

From the publisher:
‘Twas the week before Christmas
and all through L.A.,
Allie Parker’s famous twin sisters
were driving her cray.
She fled to the mountains
with a hostage in tow,
hoping to sleep through the holidays,
which were a shit-show.
A crash in a blizzard,
and a hot mountain man,
definitely wasn’t part
of her evacuation plan.
Santas, and stockings,
and creepy nutcrackers too,
everywhere she looks,
it’s a crazy Christmas zoo.
But there are hugs, and smiles,
and a beautiful view,
kisses and laughter,
and no time to be blue.
Maybe this family,
with their hot mountain man,
will make this a Christmas
Allie can actually stand.
