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

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

This book was captivating from start to finish. This time of the year, it is normal for me to read stories that remind me of Hallmark movies and have the same premise and similar storylines. This was a breath of fresh air.
Meet Olivia – who had gone through something completely unexpected when she discovered that her boyfriend and her supermodel twin sister were an item. They got engaged, and Olivia wanted to be as far away from them as possible for the holidays – hence, the cruise. Time to step out of her comfort zone. After a few too many drinks, she ends up on Santa’s lap telling him that what she wants for Christmas is a fictional character from a book that she is writing. Little does she know that she is speaking to the real Santa – or that her fictional character isn’t so imaginary.
Meet Jace, an ex-Navy Seal and the real-life man that Olivia believes she has dreamed up. He is heading to a wedding with his friends but gets a mission from Santa that he cannot pass up. He is charming, funny, kind, and perfect for her in every way. But can he convince her of that before Christmas day?
They both have demons that they are fighting, but they can live happily ever after if they can work through their problems together. I loved the retirement community, Jace’s friends, and the playfulness between the two MCs. I am looking forward to more stories like this as the series continues. If you are looking for a heartwarming story that breaks the mold, this is it!
