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

Tre and Tessa's story is full of fun from the first time they met. I smiled a lot while I was reading their banters. I LOVE THEIR BANTERS. Tessa is one of the most positive thinking person I know and I like her for that. Of course, she has her flaws but she still gives all her best to everyone. And Tre and Tessa are truely opposites attraction. While Tessa is an open book, Tre holds his cards close. The story is so funny, cute, and adventurous with their road trip together. I may didn't feel their chemistry much but with their slowly getting to know each other, I absolutely believe in their love. And when their feeling is cleared, Piper and Rayne spices the story by adding a drama into it. And I have to say I should see it coming but I didn't because I was sooo captive in Tre and Tessa's romance! They manage to make me cry for Tessa in this part though. But at the end, Christmas' magic is real. Gosh, I really love small town and big family!

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.

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.
