4 stars!

I love Christmas and romance so put the two together and its magical. Olivia’s sister Jane sounds like a real witch. I don’t understand how any sister can one, feel like they are better than their sister and two, steal away that sister’s boyfriend, it makes me so furious. I like how Olivia just said screw it and booked a cruise instead of spending the holiday with her sister and seeing her ex, awkward. The way she meets Jace is so crazy, how did a man that she wrote on paper become real. I felt like their relationship moved too fast in a short amount of time, but that could also be “Santa” working his “Christmas magic” they seem perfect for each other, and I really like seeing Jace in love with Olivia while caring nothing about Jane. The pace of this book is nice and steady. The twist on what happens to Jane is nice, and the issue between Jace and Olivia is fun to watch. I really enjoyed reading this couple’s story.

Who doesn’t love a bit of magic at a Christmastime, or a sweet romance set on the high seas? When the destined couple each separately meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus, they are initially skeptical that the wizened elderly duo are the real deal. Resident Navy Seal Jace Thomas, being the sober one, is the first to believe that the storybook pair are actually the one and only St. and Mrs. Nick. Good thing he is trained in doing recon, as he trails the beautiful Dr. Olivia Chasen around the ship, trying to believe that this captivating woman might be his own prettily wrapped gift. There is a healthy dose of cheesy lines in this romance, as well as many unlikely plot points that wrap up all of the coincidences with a neat bow. You’ll need an above average-sized ability to suspend disbelief for this tale to be believable. But, if you are a sucker for a Christmas miracle story, and a heartwarming soulmate happily-ever-after, you may enjoy this whimsical book.
