A sweet, funny, heartwarming Christmas romance.
There isn’t anybody Jeff Kowalek wouldn’t help. Except himself. After a series of disastrous blind dates, he has retreated to the comfort of his living room and the companionship of his dog, Trixie. When the new tenant moves in next door, Jeff is immediately smitten. From afar, he wonders if a pretty girl like Holly Fulbright would ever be interested in a teddy bear of guy like him. But soon a health scare forces him out of his comfort zone and hopefully, into the realm of possibilities with his new neighbor.
The last thing Holly Fulbright is interested in is Christmas or any kind of romance. After her fiancée pulled a disappearing act, she’s lost her home and is now working two jobs to pay down the massive debt he left behind. Christmas is a bleak prospect for her. But her new landlord with his warm brown eyes and quirky sense of humor test her vow to never trust a man again.
Will this Christmas be the one to change everything for Jeff and Holly?

THIS CHRISTMAS is a standalone read with a happy ending. This book is part of a series, but you will not be lost if it is your first read. The story is set in the town of Bluff Falls, New York. This couple met briefly at a college party10 years ago. At the time she was in a relationship with a real jerk. No matter, he was still quite impressed by her. They never saw each other again.Jeff is single and a firefighter. He is the only child of a single mother, so they are quite close. He recently bought a duplex, and he lives in one side and rents out the other. He was in a relationship but when she got a job across country and wanted him to leave and go with her, he refused. He could not leave his mother alone. They were all they had, and he just couldn't do it. He is pretty much an introvert and as such he spends a lot of time alone and with his dog Trixie. His family and friends are constantly trying to set him up with the "perfect" girl. He refuses their attempts.Holly has just rented half the duplex. Jeff was out of town when his mother handled the rental. When he returns home, he is shocked to see it is Holly. She is not the vibrant happy young woman he met at college. Holly had been engaged. When she discovered her fiancé secrets she was devastated and deep in debt. Her life would never be the same, or so she thought.This is a cute romance. This couple is not perfect. He is not wealthy, a CEO, body that won't wait, etc. They are just two ordinary people. It is a sweet story. Trixie the dog adds a lot to this story. You will love this dog!! Good story and I definitely recommend it.I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer, nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am not a bot. I am a reader, and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/5/2023
Love to read
This was just a wonderful book with the best character s. They are just my type of people that I can identify with. Please read and develop a relationship with these good people.You will not be disappointed.
It was a sweet Christmas romance I enjoyed reading this holiday season. There are some "damns" and "hells" and it is implied in the story that a couple slept together before marriage but other than that it is a clean read. Thanks!
Sweet story with a HEA ending! Holly who is so far in debt because of an ex that she can't see anything good in front of herr and Jeff who is an introvertmeet after ten years.
