All's Fair in Love and Christmas by Sarah Monzon

 Back Cover:

Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham--Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace. Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they'll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she'd be a contender in her company's holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise?

Jeremy Fletcher's life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year's promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but the raise will help him as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she's his rival, he can't stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he's afraid that if he can't get his head on straight, the job isn't the only thing he'll end up losing to Mackenzie.

'Tis the season for romance, faith, and humor--all wrapped up in this enchanting holiday rom-com from award-winning author Sarah Monzon.

Review:

So, this book....I giggled, I laughed, I commiserated, and I had the undeniable urge to bake Christmas cookies, decorate my tree, and hang my Christmas lights. "All's Fair in Love and Christmas" needs to come with a warning: Do not open until October (when I would totally set up my tree and lights if hubs would let me) because Christmas spirit is about to go wild. You will be playing Celine Dion's Christmas CD, breaking out the cinnamon scented candles, and digging out grandma's shortbread cookie recipe. 

In addition to being far too funny and a thoroughly enjoyable, lighthearted read... Sarah Monzon wove a beautiful love story that artfully handled a girl with crippling social anxiety and a mother with early onset dementia. Reading this story was like unwrapping a beautiful gift - one page at a time.
