This was a sweet and enchanting story. It is an enemies to lovers Christmas romance, where two rivals at a marketing firm, Rowan and Jeremy, find themselves vying for a promotion by creating a marketing plan for an amusement park. I didn’t necessarily like the characters a whole lot but I did like this as a feel-good story. It was nice to lose myself in a book for a couple of hours and this story is perfect for the holiday season.

The Magic of Christmas is just what you need to cheer you up. I love reading a christmas romance at this time of year, gets you in the holiday spirit. I loved the back and forth chemistry between Rowan and Jeremy, it had me laughing throughout, The trip they take for work to the amusement park really makes them realise who the other person actually is deep down and not the persona they let on to be in the office and what it is they really want in life and that may just happen to be each other.
So if you want a christmas Rom-com to get you in the christmas spirit this is the book for you 🙂

Five Stars

The Magic Of Christmas is the first holiday story I have read this year. Christi Barth did a great job getting me thinking about getting in the spirit of the season. Rowan West is a workaholic that puts her job first, before any kind of life. She is up for a big promotion and all she has to do is beat out her office rival. Jeremy Kincannon is trying to prove that he is not just riding on his stepfather’s coattails. When both find themselves in a Christmas themed lodge and amusement park, both trying to win the account, they find maybe they had the wrong opinion of each other. This is a fun story that had me hoping for a happy ending. The characters were relatable and the dialogue is witty. I truly enjoyed this holiday book.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth

This is the first book I’ve read by Barth, but it won’t be my last one. I loved the holiday movie vibe I got from it. The characters were just like the Hallmark movies.

Rowan has had a tough life. From childhood to adulthood. One thing after another always happens to her. When she’s up for a big promotion she is also sent to a resort with her biggest enemy. The quote I chose for Rowan is: “No. No, I won’t help you. At least, not until Jeremy’s shared his side of the story. And I don’t want the promotion by default. It wouldn’t mean nearly as much as if I beat him out, fair and square.”

Jeremy had a rough life with a deadbeat dad. When his step-dad stepped in and saved the day. Literally. He works hard but he finds himself falling for a coworker. The quote I chose for Jeremy is: “I do know. More than you think. My mom and I struggled, too. My dad was a deadbeat. Plain and simple. Spent what we had, and then what we didn’t. When she left him, things got even worse.”

I highly recommend this for anyone who loves romantic comedy.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth was a fun read that helped me kick off my holiday season. I found myself smiling many times throughout the story and it really was just one of those feel good reads you look forward to curling up with.
I was surprised how quickly I was drawn to Jeremy as a character, unlike Rowan, Jeremy didn’t take any “getting used to” at all. Rowan was hard to like for me at first, her all work, no play persona was irritating at best. I did start to enjoy Rowan’s personality a bit more as the story progressed and her interactions with Jeremy were really entertaining. The characters had great chemistry and once again, brought a smile to my face and gave me feel good vibes.
I grew up in New Hampshire and have fond memories of day trips to a Christmas theme park we have in the northern part of the state, I loved that the story was set around a place so similar.
If you are looking for a fun, easy to read story to get yourself in a bit of holiday spirit, I would recommend the Magic of Christmas with a 4 star rating!

This book got me more into the holiday spirit than I expected it to. I loved the characters, I loved the premise, and I found some spots in this book that really pulled at my heartstrings. There was very real conflict and turmoil that was well written. I read most of it at one time, it had a great flow and I found that when I looked, I was farther in than I expected. If there is one magic of Christmas books on your list this year, I truly recommend this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully heartwarming festive romance by Christi Barth which I could not put down. Full of the magic of Christmas this story definitely put me in the festive spirit. Workaholic Rowan West is not in the Christmas mood as she has to come up with a campaign to make people visit a struggling Christmas themed adventure park and resort in order to gain a promotion to advertising manager. Unfortunately Jeremy Kincannon is also up for the promotion and is determined to prove to everyone that he deserves the job and not just because his stepfather owns the company. They begin their visit to the park and resort as adversaries, Rowan dislikes Jeremy and Jeremy thinks Rowan is annoyingly perfect. However, as they spend more time together away from the office politics and all the rumours they discover who the other one really is. With a bit of the magic of Christmas the adventure park neither of them cared about actually helps them find what they both need in life and that appears to be each other. ‘The Magic of Christmas’ has a lovely romantic storyline with a festive twist and likeable, relatable characters which made this a page turner of a story. The narrative flowed well and I loved how the relationship changed and developed between Rowan and Jeremy and their connection really came across in the story. I found reading this was a lovely start to the festive season.

It has been quite the year, 2020 proves to us that we need some holiday magic early, so when I saw Christi Barth was putting out a cute rom com holiday read just in time for the craziest months of 2020 it was a no brainer for me to one-click the much needed escape. This little gem took me on quite the adventure as I followed Rowan and Jeremy in their competition to develop the winning marketing plan for a holiday themed park. These two may start as enemies but of course the magic of the season will try to intervene and bring these two hearts together in a warming way. I loved the push and pull between the characters. It had me laughing and cheering for the two to find the way to love each other. It was a believable romance, sometimes that is not the case for holiday reads but not with this one. I really enjoyed the kickoff to my holiday season and just might have the motivation to pull out my tree and decor a tad early this year!

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a festive feel good romance, perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit.
Rowan is focussed on her career, when a promotion comes up she’s willing to work hard and fight tooth and nail to prove she’s the right person for the job. But as is usually the way, these things never run smoothly.
This is a classic Christmas Hallmark style romance, just what we all need in the run up to Christmas. The author moves the story along at a fairly quick pace, but it’s very easy to keep up with. I loved the characters and both of the main characters really developed throughout the story so I found myself becoming more invested in their lives and wanting them to find their happy ending!

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a touching holiday romance with all the ingredients needed to make a for a heart-warming Christmas story. It was fun to curl up with this for a couple of hours and lose myself in the story.
Rowan and Jeremy are both being considered for the same promotion at the advertising company they work for. They are teamed up to come up with a campaign that will resurrect a struggling Christmas themed amusement park. There is a lot to prove, and a lot riding on the outcome. These two set off on their trip as staunch rivals, but things begin to change as they spend more time together. What happens next makes for a fun and romantic read.
I love Christmas themed stories, so it was a done deal as soon as I laid eyes on this book. I could envisage this being made into a wonderful Christmas movie.
My favourite of Christi Barth’s books that I have read so far!

Thank you, Christi Barth!

This was adorably cute! I really liked reading this book and quite honestly it’s the perfect way to start those Christmas reads which I know I will be binge-reading over the next few months! I really liked the story and I really enjoyed the characters. The book was quick-paced but not too fast and it didn’t feel rushed at all which is great.

The way Rowan and Jeremy begin to connect is so cute and adorable and I fell in love with their characters and it was cute. I liked them both resisting until giving in to each other it’s one of my favourite things in these kind of books. They try to resist and always fail!

Really enjoyed it!

I absolutely loved reading the book The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth, this was my first book by this author. This is a holiday romance story that is an amazing read that gets you in that Christmas spirit well it did for me! This was a fun shorter read for me, you have Rowan who is a professional woman in a marketing firm and Jeremy is the sexy stepson of the owner. However, Rowan and Jeremy are both up for a promotion at work, the same promotion. What happens when the competition starts to heat up between these two? I couldn’t seem to put this book down, you will love it!!

If you’re looking for something to get you in the Christmas spirit, this is the book for you. I loved that we get to visit Holiday Land and I could see all the details in my head and sounds like such a fun place!
Rowan is a work machine and doesn’t allow herself to let loose at the office. When she and Jeremy are paired together as competition and to visit a new place to get marketing ideas, things couldn’t seem worse for either of them. But with the magic of the season we get this beautiful and heartfelt story.
I really really enjoyed this book and the characters were relatable, believable and I love a heroine who sticks up for herself. This is a must read, holiday season or not!

I LOVE a Christmas book! It’s my most favourite time of the year and after everything that’s happened this year I needed a Christmas read to get me in the spirit and this book most definitely did that! The author lovely descriptive language made me so want to visit the setting for this story! I felt all Christmassy after finishing it – my husband wasn’t impressed that I wanted to put the Christmas decorations up!
I loved the plot and the characters, I guess the story was a little predictable but with that wonderful Christmas magic the author sprinkled along the way I wasn’t really bothered. It was a lovely, easy to read story that I was lost in from beginning to end.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a fun, entertaining read with a little bit of Christmas sparkle thrown in for good measure. This is the perfect type of book to lose yourself in for an afternoon. It is a quick and easy story to read but one that captures your attention and keeps moving forward nicely.
I liked the pace of the book and how the author developed the characters. Rowan is one of those characters that I really didn’t take to immediately however by the end of the book I got the impression that you weren’t meant to. You got to see her develop throughout the book and grow to like her in a way that doesn’t happen very often. She was well suited to be with Jeremy and by the end I really liked them both together.
This was on overall enjoyable book with great characters. It is definitely worth adding to you TBR pile.

This is a cute holiday story. We follow along with the two MC as they vie for a advertising campaign. The place is a holiday amusement park and resort. They have many ups and downs and delight in finding their true selves.

I was easily sucked into this story as well as the characters. I love Christmas Funtime stories and this is one. All the crazy festive ideas that get brought to life by the author are magical themselves. Then drop in uptight characters and make them do out of their zone stuff makes this an easy win in my mind.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is an enchanting enemy to lover’s romance tale. It is a slow burn, sweet and fun read with witty banter. I enjoyed Christi’s writing style and the setting of the story. Two people after the same promotion, one a workaholic and the other the son of the owner. It is a vivid world Christi has outlined for us and it makes you feel that you are right there with the magic of Christmas. It is a simplistic and easy story for a quiet afternoon read.

I loved reading the book The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth. It is a holiday romance story that is wonderful to read. I loved the characters of Rowan West and Jeremy Kincannon. They are both up for the same promotion. Sent to a Christmas-themed park to help with their advertising. What does the future hold for Rowan and Jeremy? Read this book to find out. Rowan is a woman who is driven to succeed in her job. Sometimes this includes shutting out of everything else. Will she have the courage to have some fun? Jeremy is handsome, charming, and kind. What will happen when his feelings for Rowan start to change? I grew to care about Rowan and Jeremy with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed the bantering back and forth between them. This is a perfect holiday story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are introduced and interact with Jeremy and Rowan. Don’t miss out on reading this story. I highly recommend it.

The characters are well developed and connectable. They make the story easy to read and engaging. Rowan is up for a promotion and her next assignment is bring people into a Christmas themed park. Her problem becomes when she has to work with a partner that she doesn’t like. Will she save the park? Will she find more than just a promotion in this assignment? I loved watching the growth with the characters. They made such a great, believable story that was entertaining. I highly recommend this book.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth
Genre – Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance
Page Count – 220 pages
It’s the opportunity she’s dreamed of…
After spending two years focused on her career, Rowan West is finally up for an advertising manager promotion. Holiday parties and gift-buying are on hold as Rowan travels to New Hampshire to create a marketing campaign that can revive a struggling, Christmas-themed resort and adventure park. Rowan’s brains and ambition make her shine, and she won’t allow anything to get in her way—especially not her far-too-handsome competitor with a sense of humor and high-up connections.
He needs to prove himself…
Jeremy Kincannon is competitive enough to fight tooth and nail for a promotion he doesn’t even want. Because his stepfather owns the company, no one believes he earned his spot despite having climbed up from the bottom like everyone else. He’s intrigued by his button-upped, business-only colleague who’s distractingly pretty. So he lays down a challenge—he’ll call a truce to their verbal sparring if she tries to have fun.
As their rivalry wanes and attraction grows, will Jeremy and Rowan embrace the magic of Christmas?
