A Very Grumpy Christmas by Jerica MacMillan is now live!

My neighbor is a Grinch.

Since I run the Christmas Emporium and sometimes moonlight as an elf, that’s kind of a problem for me.

No surprise, though. When I brought over cookies to welcome him to the neighborhood this summer, he slammed the door in my face.

Until he brings his kid to visit Santa one of the days I’m working as an elf, and I realize there are key parts of their story I’m missing …

The little girl is his much younger sister, not his daughter.
He’s her guardian since their parents died in a tragic accident.

Now all of his handsome, broody glares make so much more sense. As one of Santa’s elves, I make it my mission to make this Christmas as special for them as possible. Which somehow includes trespassing on his property to hang Christmas lights and braiding the little girl’s hair regularly.

Despite his glares and grumpiness, I discover the soft underbelly of the beast. Will this Grinch’s heart grow three sizes as well? And if it does, will it have room for me?

A Very Grumpy Christmas is a standalone, small town, neighbors to lovers romance featuring a grumpy single dad and the sunshiny neighbor who’s determined to make his Christmas better. Full of heat and heart with an HEA guaranteed!

Review

A Very Grumpy Christmas is the first Christmas-themed story I’ve read, at least from my memory, and it didn’t disappoint. Christmas is weird for me. I love Christmas movies and will watch them year-round. Mainly for the cheesy, heart-warming factor. I believe it applies to books as well. The holiday itself, though, I’m not too fond of for a personal reason.

A Very Grumpy Christmas is a standalone, small town, neighbors to lovers romance featuring a grumpy single dad and the sunshiny neighbor who’s determined to make his Christmas better. Full of heat and heart with an HEA guaranteed!

This ending from the summary had some of my favorite buzzwords. Sarah is the definition of sunshine. She works in a Christmas shop and moonlights as an elf. Shane is grumpy, but he has a reason to be. He was living his life, and suddenly, he became a single parent to his youngest sister. So even though we see Shane and Sarah’s relationship, it’s also about Sophie’s life and grief.

Sophie is the star of the story. I’m uncertain if it will be a thing, but I would love Sophie’s book. Shane and Sarah’s miscommunication irked me. But I think that has more to do with my mood as I read A Very Grumpy Christmas. Besides that, I enjoyed my overall experience. It was just what I needed to take me away from everything.

A Very Grumpy Christmas is about grief, love, family, and the magic of Christmas. There are some sad moments, but you know it will have a happy ending. It will put you in a holiday mood.
