About this eBook

Two strangers who couldn’t be more opposite find themselves on an unexpected cross-country road trip days before Christmas where whatever can go wrong, does.

 

He’s an Army Ranger.

She’s a baker.

 

He’s organized and ridged.

She’s messy and carefree.

 

He doesn’t do relationships.

She’s following her heart.

 

His family chat blows up his phone.

She just buried her last living relative.

 

The holiday season doesn’t seem so jolly as they venture from one mode of transportation to the next. But, they have to become friends and rely on each other if they’re going to survive all the obstacles thrown their way.

 

As the miles grow shorter, vulnerabilities are shared, and by the time they reach their destination, neither one of them is sure what they really want for Christmas anymore.  

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars This was hilarious holiday read. Man what a road trip Tessa and Tre end up on. Tessa is in a little bit of a bad luck rut and it continues onto her plane ride until she meets her new friends. Not gonna lie first impressions Tre made were not the greatest, but that man easily redeemed himself. Tessa's trip to her chance at love sure isn't going as planned, but sometimes the unexpected is blessings in disguise. Tre could use some of Tessa's infectious personality bringing sunshine.

This is a great way to start the holiday season, fun read, hot chocolate and a fire in the fireplace. Tessa is down on her luck and meets Tre who is back from deployment and is not anxious to get home. When these two meet, it was like a stick of dynamite went off! Tempers flare, passion and kismet play significantly in their lives during their road trip. Wonderful fun story.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is very much like a Hallmark movie. Two strangers meet on a plane and lets say things get complicated. They end up traveling in a car across the country trying to get to their loved ones by Christmas. And then there is the BIG surprise, which I am not spoiling at all except to say, it made this whole book. It was so yummy, delicious and awesome.
