Ms. Holly is a four-year veteran teacher of first grade students. She’s tough. She can handle it all…right up until one sweet little girl asks Santa for nothing but Chapstick for Christmas. Concerned that Sophie won’t have a good Christmas, Holly takes matters into her own hands and plays Santa’s helper.
When Holly meets Sophie’s dad, things become complicated, because Mr. Brandt doesn’t think Ms. Holly will have a good Christmas…without him in it.

Snore... zzzz
This is one of those formulaic romances that follows all the clichés, tries to be witty and where nothing much happens and it's as exciting as knitting (at least with knitting you have a nice garment to show for it).
INSTA-LUST, bland zero-chemistry romance and a HEA. Seriously yawn.
Hero: tall, dark SUPER HANDSOME cliché (heroine is constantly rendered catatonic from his AH-MAZING looks). I was sick of the constant swooning and drooling. Almost every scene in the first few chapters I read banged on about his good-looks until I was sick of it.
He's a single dad, who (according to the heroine) is witty (I'm assuming her threshold of what accounts for "wit" is pretty low).
Heroine: sweet, wholesome loving teacher - a Mills & Boon caricature with the family and background to go with it. She assumes she all average and that the hero is SUPER DOPER hot and "OMG how could such an Adonis be interested in little old average boring me?!
There were all the elements of those cliché stories with the heroine possessing a dull, Blond (of course), blue-eyed boyfriend whom she doesn't consider important enough as an obstacle for dating and flirting with another guy, because he's not all that so what's principles hey.
Also, the heroine thinks she's on a pedestal where her an dyer sister can judge everyone to be "not good enough for her" - because she's so eerrmmm... bland herself? GET OVER YOURSELF WOMAN.
It was just so dull and massively predictable with the little girl, Sophie (hero's intrepid daughter) playing arch-maker because she oh-so-loves Ms Holly (the heroine) and wants a mummy.
sssnnnoooore zzzzzz

Loved the humor! This was such a great romance to get me in the mood for Christmas. I totally loved the 12 days of Christmas idea and how the hero responded to it!
