About this ebook

Actress Chloe O'Connor has become America's sweetheart, but back in little Christmas, Colorado, she's still remembered as a shy, awkward schoolgirl. And there's no one she dreads (and secretly wants) to see more than her high school crush, Easton McBride. Just one look from the former star quarterback and it's like she's instantly transformed from daytime drama queen to tongue-tied teenager. She's kissed Hollywood actors and famous cover models, so she can certainly play it cool while turning up the heat, right?

After an injury ended his military career, Easton McBride built a good life in the rugged countryside of his hometown. And the last thing he needs is his quiet solitude shattered by a high-maintenance temptress who isn't anything like the sweet Chloe he misses. While he enjoys the flirtation with this new bold and beautiful woman, he can't help but wonder whether a kiss could have the power to bring back the small-town girl he's grown to love.

Ratings and reviews

Kiss Me in Christmas is like a Hallmark card. Opening it up takes you back to a time of simplicity and memories. Some good, some bad but all unforgettable. I hope that was the feeling that Ms. Mason was going for because she got it in one. I received an ARC of Kiss Me in Christmas in exchange for an honest review. Chloe escaped her small town heartbreak to build a career that has soared beyond all her expectations. Regardless of her success, she still feels inadequate and lonely. Easton is the culmination of all Chloe's fantasies come to life but she still doesn't think she measures up. Easton has the same frame of mind in regards to Chloe but for different reasons. Debbie Mason is constantly writing stories that are full of lovable characters that keep readers warm all year round.

I so loved this book. I could hardly out it down. I wasn't a huge fan of Chloe in Snowbound at Christmas, but I have to say I'm a huge fan of her after reading this book. I'm so glad she had her story told because we really get to see the true Chloe that she hides from everyone. She keeps a shield up for good reasons and gives off these over the top diva. I cracked up a lot while reading this. The antics when Chloe and Ty were hatching their plans. The humor was one of my favorite parts of this book. I really loved what Chloe did to Easton's cabin. That for set up what turned out to be a fantastic read. Not a fan of Easton at first, but I was quickly won over. It was awesome to see someone stand up for Chloe. I was super happy for Chloe in this one because her true self got to shine and she found her "one". Some fences were mended in this one which made the book even better. Over all it's a great book that I highly recommend reading.

When I first met Chloe in Snowbound At Christmas, I didn't have a high opinion of her. Sure, by the end of the previous book she'd sort of redeemed herself but in my head she was still a spoilt celebrity who enjoyed acting like a drama queen. So when I started reading, I wasn't sure I'd ever feel any connection with Chloe - but Debbie Mason proved me so wrong! By the end of the book, I wanted to reach into the book and give Chloe a bear hug. I adored how the author managed to redeem Chloe in the eyes of the reader and to weave for her a beautiful and romantic story that left me with a silly smile on my face when I reached the last page. Chapter after chapter, I was pulled into the story and started really connecting with Chloe, looking beyond her diva persona to the woman who's lived all her life thinking she could die any time because of her heart condition. There is a huge character growth as far as Chloe is concerned: the woman who started as a spoilt, and very hypochondriac brat, turned into a way better version of herself, a version that I definitely liked. And all because of her White Knight, Easton. Easton is, well, is a McBride - and if you've read the previous books in the series you know what I mean. Tall, dark and handsome doesn't really do him justice. He's the very epitome of hero, the man every woman would be swooning over if he were real. I loved reading how things changed between them and how they went from enemies (at least as far as Easton was concerned) to sweethearts. I also particularly enjoyed the fact that, like in the previous books, this is a clean romance so all sexy scenes aren't included and are always behind locked doors. If you love clean small-town romance, you should definitely pick up a copy of this book . The book works as a standalone but I'm sure you'll want to read all the previous books too, once you've finished this. If you're a fan of the Christmas, Colorado series, Chloe and Easton's story won't disappoint you. ***I received a complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review***
