Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairing Series Book 1) by Parker Fairchild – Review by Sarah Vanscoy

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship by Parker Fairchild
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship” written by Parker Fairchild, is a very sweet and clean holiday romance story. Olivia decides to embark on a cruise in order to escape the Christmas holiday with her sister, who had an affair with Olivia’s boyfriend and is now engaged to him. Olivia feels sad and lonely on the ship, and after too many drinks tells the cruise employee dressed up as Santa Claus her deepest wish. This is where things took a very interesting turn. That night she meets and falls in love with a man, who has the same name as the character in a romance novel she is writing. He is a Navy SEAL, and the majority of conversations steer back to his career. I appreciated that the story brought attention to the difficulties our service members can experience coming back home. Overall the story was difficult to follow and was very unlikely, but it does put you in a festive mood! I enjoyed following along as Olivia’s personality completely changes from sad and insecure, to happy and confident. I appreciated the side characters, especially the elderly veterans, who added some sass and humor to the story!
