    About this ebook

    DECORATING WITH THE GRINCH
     
    It was one little fender bender. Sadie was only in picturesque Pineville, Michigan, for a day, trying to handle the ramshackle house her grandmother left her and juggle the sale of her failing design business at the same time. Her debtors don’t care that it’s almost Christmas. But then neither does the big bad contractor whose truck got squashed.
     
    Colt McCoy might be the least festive person she’s ever met. He’s gruff, rude, and way too upset about a minor accident. Of course, he is nice to look at, with dimples hiding in his scruffy beard and a body like a lumberjack’s. And Sadie will have plenty of time to enjoy the view, since their community service sentence has put the two of them in charge of Pineville’s jinxed Christmas tree.
     
    But as their squabbles over ornaments turn to laughter, anyone can see Colt and Sadie have something electric. The hard part is guessing if they’ll light each other up—or just keep blowing the fuse . . .

      The Christmas Tree by Allyson CharlesPineville #2Both Sadie and Colt have issues to deal with in addition to dealing with one another while doing community service time decorating the Pineville Christmas tree. They may feel an immediate attraction to one another but the idea of acting on that attraction is the furthest thing from both of their minds…at least for a while. The story had me hating Colt, then warming up to him, and finally caring whether or not he and Sadie could find common ground. This was a cute, easy, fun Christmas story set in a small town that I recommend to those looking for a light entertaining holiday read. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC. This is my honest review. 3.5 Stars
