About this ebook

Now a Hallmark Channel Original Movie

Will their competitive spirits ruin the spirit of Christmas? 

When Ben Winters and Lara Cottridge hear that a Vermont radio station is hosting a Christmas contest with a $10,000 prize for a charitable project of the winner’s choice, they seize the challenge. Although strangers, they both are obsessed with all things Christmas and each has their own worthy pet project in mind.

News of the contest creates a lot of buzz, but most participants fall at the first hurdle – a timed online quirky Christmas quiz. The second, a stressful on-air quiz whittles the field down to two – Briarhill Falls residents Lara and Ben who are surprised that they have never met. 

As the contest heats up with five further Christmas-themed challenges, the town and state become enthralled by the battle of wits and skill. Soon Lara and Ben realize they have far more in common than a love of Christmas. And far more at stake. Will their competition stand in the way of falling in love?

Each book in the Christmas Wishes series is a standalone:

*The Runaway Christmas Bride

Ratings and reviews

A radio Christmas contest turns into so much more for competitors, Ben and Lara. They have entered to win 10,000 dollars for their choice of charity but in the end they both come out ahead. As they spend time competing against each other there is buzz between them, that they soon can not deny. A sweet Christmas story that I highly recommend to get you in the mood for the holidays. Loved the simmering romance between Ben and Lara, love when you least expect it. This would be the perfect Hallmark movie.

The Christmas books from Tule Publishing Group this year are all TV Movie ready! This is yet another Holiday read that could so easily go straight into movie production tomorrow because it reads just like a movie itself. Boy-Ben meets Girl-Lara after entering a radio Christmas trivia contest to win 10k. They just happened to live in the same town and had not met each other before, the contest went to it's final stages. But meeting each other could prove to be THE prize after all. I enjoyed the descriptions of the places we saw in the book , t made it so easy to just picture being there in your mind's eye. It was a knock off of a read.

This is a superb fun Christmas read a perfect book to get you into the holiday spirit. Ben and Lara are both Christmas obsessed and when a local radio station offers a $100,000 to a charity of choice for the winner they both jump on the chance to help their community. As contestants are whittled down they are two left standing When they both live in the same small town and have so much in common why have they never met As the competition between them heats will it destroy something that could be wonderful between them
