"Jack
In my perfect world, it would always be winter and never Christmas.
I despise the holiday. I hate carols, shopping and pretending to be a perfect family
I walked away from my family, or rather they walked away from me.
My heart is like ice-
See it creeping up the walls.
Oh, wait, no, that's royal icing.
I never should have allowed the Great Christmas Bake-Off to film in my tower.
And I never, ever, should have agreed to be a judge.
Chloe
I love Christmas! I love sparkly window decorations, heartwarming holiday movies and themed coffee.
Most of all I love Christmas baking.
Even though is company is sponsoring the bake-off show, billionaire Jack Frost claims he hates sweets.
But after he tastes my goods I know he'll come begging for more.
And wouldn't you know it, that night Jack Frost asked me to come up to his penthouse and give him a special taste of my Christmas cookies.
Against my better judgement, I went...
I baked him my signature gingerbread cookies and of course, he ate them up!
It should have been a Christmas miracle, but Jack Frost couldn't have come into my life at a worse time.
Not only am I broke, but this was my first Christmas after my Oma died.
Someone is trying to sabotage me in the Great Christmas Bake-Off.
I'm being stalked by a mall Santa.
Sleeping with one of the judges is a disaster waiting to happen. I needed Jack and his washboard abs about as much as I need that third sticky bun.
But when he says in his deep, sexy voice, "Can you make me some more cookies?" well stick a candy cane in me I'm done."
My Rating: 1/5 (DNF at 35%)
I'm starting this new review series because I can't keep forcing myself to finish things I know I'm not enjoying. Things like this. I normally would have pushed through but I was finding myself not reading because this was putting me off books. I just couldn't handle it. With all respect to the author, this was the worst thing I've ever read. This was far too long for what it was, there were stalkers that were never properly addressed, I didn't buy the romance, it was too cliche and none of it worked for me. This book is 400 pages of going nowhere as far as I could tell. I made it 35% of the way and that was more than enough for me. Would NOT recommend it.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
