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...

WTF happened to this book? Two words: hard left. It started out “Hallmark” pre-180’ing into Christian Grey territory. I neither liked the whiplash requiring I be engaged in the “seedier” sides of the characters, or the loss of the sweet and sassy storyline. Did two individuals author this book? Did the author’s alter-ego kick-in and write the second-half? Did two distinctly different books go to press and get merged?…

This book went from 4 stars to 3 for the hard-left, ending on 2 for the abundance of over-indulgence and overly-descriptive “extra-curriculars” between the characters. Also aggravating? That if taking a shot for each reference to “nipple”, one would be hammered a quarter of the way thru the book.

I would like to preface that this was my first Meghan Quinn book. I was looking for a "cozy" Christmas read . Oh.My.Word.

It's not a horrible story. It's cute , and it's spicy . But mmaaannn, I got so bored at the beginning that I had to really focus and push through it. I can tell with this book that I'm not the hallmark type of gal. I enjoyed the humor ,the spiciness was good.
