About this ebook

My name is Noel Winters.

 

I was born on Christmas Day.

AND I just met a stunning woman named Holly Frost.

Is this for real?

There’s only one minor problem...

…she’s not a fan of the holiday season, hates decorations, and avoids listening to Christmas music.

Maybe a baking competition, one homemade yule log cake, and an extra dash of spice will change her mind.

The man card series is a collection of romantic comedy short stories that are full of steamy romance. You're guaranteed that perfect happy ending and a cupboard full of sweets from all the cravings.

Ratings and reviews

Oh this was funny, sweet, and sexy. For the final book in this series we get even more recipes and another competition that’s fun to read about. We also get the cute Christmassy story about Noel and Holly and Holly finding exactly what she needed with Noel. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I thought that this was a delightful quick read. Be prepared for the overload of cuteness that is Noel and Holly's story. This book is incredibly funny, sweet, emotional and romantic. It was so easily to fall for Noel and his love for and joy in all things Christmas and it was equally east to feel for and sympathize with the Scrooge-ish feelings of Holly. I loved how these two met and every second of their evolving relationship. This is quite simply a perfect little heartfelt read that is well seasoned with holiday charm.

Noel Winters was busy decorating his trees – yes, more than one Christmas tree. He loved the Christmas season and fully embraced it! He told his sister, Peyton, that he joined the last holiday baking competition of the season. Only 6 people were chosen to compete, so this was a big honor for him. Cousin Alex agreed to assist him. Holly Frost had returned home from Michigan and was visiting her friend, Nova, in her coffee shop to see if she had a part-time job she could work for a short time. Peyton came in to say hi and was introduced to Holly. She told her that she really needed to meet her brother, but didn’t tell her his name or why. Holly just hated the season because she was tired of the jokes. She didn’t even decorate at Christmas because people would tease her about living up to her name. In the meantime, Peyton set up a blind date for Holly to meet Noel, thinking the two of them had much in common already! Except that Holly tried to walk out of the restaurant when she heard Noel’s name, until he coaxed her back with the gingerbread cake the restaurant was famous for and which had won awards. These two were so opposite! Holly hates the Christmas season, hates decorations, and avoids listening to Christmas music. Noel loves his name, and is enthusiastic about celebrating Christmas every way he can, even with multiple Christmas trees! Will he be able to show her what the Christmas Spirit is all about? Will he be able to convince Holly to agree to help him in the baking competition to get her heart in the right place? Grab your copy and enjoy this delightful story!
