Molly Gray has always loved the holidays. When Molly was a child, her gran went to great lengths to make the season merry and bright, full of cherished traditions. The first few Christmases without Gran were hard on Molly, but this year, her beloved boyfriend and fellow festive spirit, Juan Manuel, is intent on making the season Molly’s mofinst joyful yet.

But when a Secret Santa gift exchange at the Regency Grand Hotel raises questions about who Molly can and cannot trust, she dives headfirst into solving her most consequential—and personal—mystery yet.

Why did Juan Manuel propose to Molly with “Molly Gray, Head Maid and love of my life…”? One could argue that if she was really the love of his life, his proposal would have been “Molly Gray, love of my life and Head Maid…”

This irked my soul and I had to knock off two stars, also Angela gaslighting Molly was not the most pleasant thing to read about.

I enjoyed the holiday traditions with family passed on through generations and I enjoyed the heart warming family story. The mystery however was obvious
