❄️ Second-chance romance

This Christmas, love might be the holiday miracle she’s been waiting for . . .

Merry Sinclair once believed in the magic of Christmas — until heartbreak ruined her holiday spirit.

Now, working in Carroll’s, New York’s famous Department Store, only reminds Merry of what she’s lost. That is, until she meets Christian, a new employee with deep chestnut eyes and a smile that seems to warm even the coldest winter days.

Christian Carroll, estranged heir to a powerful family empire, hasn’t stepped foot in Carroll’s in years. But when his father reveals that the company is on the verge of collapse due to sabotage, Christian reluctantly returns — working undercover as a janitor to uncover the truth.

The last thing he needs is a distraction in the form of the warm-hearted and endearingly quirky store greeter, Merry.

But as Christmas magic fills the air, Merry and Christian grow closer. From skating beneath the Rockefeller tree to dancing at the glittering Carroll’s Christmas Ball, every moment feels like a fairytale.

But when Christian’s true identity is revealed, Merry is left torn — can she trust him with her heart? Or will past heartache keep them from finding their own place under the mistletoe?

My Review

This is the last book the Apex Billionaire Club series, and it was like getting a warm Christmas hug! It’s the perfect Christmas romance to get you in the holiday spirit. I know I personally love Christmas romance books, so this was a perfect read for me.

This isn’t an insta-lust/love situation, which I very much love, and this isn’t quite a slow burn either (thankfully). It’s somewhere in the middle, which is exactly where I love my romances to be. We get the playful banter between Christian and Merry, we get to see them spend time together, we get to feel them start to feel for each other. We fall in love with them as a couple as they start to fall for each other. It really is the perfect way to read a romance.

This author has such a great way of writing books too. Evergreen keeps you engaged in the book, the writing is easy to follow, and the characters are great. It’s such a cute, fun read. I highly recommend it. It’s out now, so go grab your copy!
