Awesome book!!! Love story mixed with some mystery and tons of emotions! Again I hope Carol and Terry get together, it would round it all out so nicely! I hope this series never ends!!! I actually laughed out loud, with every book. Fantastic author!

Ah, the time-honored tradition of the yankee swap, or white elephant gift exchange as we Okies refer to it… always a fun way to bring families together to lie, cheat, and steal their way to the best of the worst gifts imaginable. And when those families are the Jacobys and McCormicks? Well, hilarity and utter ridiculousness is sure to follow. This book was such a lovely bit of goodness and fun in a year that has been sorely lacking in both. It’s absolutely laugh-out-loud funny while also managing to be sincere, touching, and downright hopeful. I completely adored this book! And I challenge anyone to read it and not end up with a smile on your face. Thank you Julia Kent for this wonderful and unexpected gift. * I was given an ARC of this book and voluntarily chose to review. All of my opinions are honest and entirely my own.

What a fun holiday with the McCormicks (and the rest of this crazy clan)! The craziness of the Yankee Swap (or the White Elephant, as I know it) was hilarious and honestly so realistic!! Of course there’s always that one person who doesn’t understand or follow the rules and the gift that absolutely no one ever wants. I was laughing so hard during this entire Christmas scene. I am already counting down to the next book and I am so here for more of this family getting their HEA!!

It’s two Christmases after the one that shall not be named and the family gathers once again at the Jacoby home. Declan and Shannon are expanding their coffee empire and trying to do the same to their family. Andrew and Amanda are deep in twin territory with their 16 month olds. Jason and Marie are preparing for a wonderful Christmas, each in their own way, and James has been ignoring Andrew for over seven months. Should make for an interesting family gathering and Yankee swap as the McCormick men participate and escalate the competition to crazy levels. So many laughs in this as well as some very tender moments.

This light hearted story from one of my favorite authors, is exactly what I have come to expect from Julia Kent, humorous, heartwarming, slapstick fun. We catch up with the McCormick\Jacoby families as they celebrate the Holidays in a way only they can. Well worth the read. Grab this one.
