| Tomorrow is Christmas Day. And in the last 48 hours I have:
1) Fired two of my trusted employees. 2) Defaced the office Christmas tree. 3) Completely blown it with the first man I’ve really liked in the last ten years. But it’s worth it, because I’m about to earn the promotion of a lifetime. Unfortunately, my former boss and mentor, Marley Jacobs, is determined to show me the error of my ways before midnight. Except I’m not about to let anyone get in my way—even Marley. Especially since Marley is dead. |
| I truly adore the writing style of this author which is no secret. And – because I decided I would spend a whole month now reading nothing but Xmas novels – the release of this came just about right.
Thing is only that the “Scrooge” theme itself is a hit and miss for me – paired with the fact that it would obviously be the female in the story – well – if it had been any other author I will be honest – I would not have picked the book. But Ms. Costa did not disappoint – she delivered a heartwarming plot and even managed to give the story a different twist with the female being the Scrooge for a change as well as adding her unique personal ingredients to the mix. It is not her fault that for me everything should always center around the male in the story when it comes to certain aspects of the plot – so I am sure that there will be a lot of people out there loving this different approach to this well-known theme. I believe that this story is a perfect choice for you if you are planning to read some heartwarming stories before the holidays …
