How My Neighbor Stole Christmas

A new holiday enemies-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn.

Every Kringle in Kringletown celebrated Christmas a lot.

But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately, did not.

As his fellow citizens decorate their quaint town, brimming with carols and glad tidings, Cole wants nothing more than to hibernate the winter away. But his dreary plans are thwarted when his Christmas nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Immediately, the new neighbor turns his life into a real nightmare before Christmas, especially when she decides to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest in honor of Cindy. And better yet, Storee is determined to win.

Over Cole's dead body, she will. With help from his friend Max, Cole decides to enter the competition as well, to beat Storee at her own game by pretending that this hometown grump's heart has grown three sizes this season and he's fallen for the girl next door. And unfortunately for Storee, she has to follow his lead to have a chance at the Christmas Kringle title.

But the competition isn't the only thing that heats up. Cole and Storee's fake relationship becomes very real, and before they know it, they're attempting to hide it from Aunt Cindy. Things get complicated, the competition gets tough, and all it takes is one single night for someone to steal it all...

Very cute read. The smut was pretty good. But I loved how the narrator interacted with the Main male character.

DNF I just couldn’t. The characters were aggravating and it felt like listening to nails on a chalk board

Good holiday read with great banter and some interesting use of a candy cane. Could have been 100 pages shorter.

There were a lot of eye rolling during this journey. I know that it's a Christmas book, so it is supposed to be light and fluffy and cheesy, but it was too much for me. The narrator bits just took me out of the story and were honestly annoying.

Last note: Candy Canes need to be left alone

Cute story but intimate moments were too detailed distracting from the story.
