Publisher's summary

A USA Today Bestseller

In its heyday, Piney Peaks and its beloved Christmas house were made famous by Sleighbells under Starlight, a romantic holiday movie. Fifty years later, the small town is ready for a new love story.

As a successful film liaison, Elisha Rowe has her heart set on one thing and one thing only: putting her hometown back on the map. So, when she gets the chance to secure the long-hoped-for sequel to Sleighbells under Starlight, a beloved holiday movie, she's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure everything goes smoothly. Unfortunately, that includes claiming to have already gotten permission to film at the historic Christmas house—permission she was very much denied by the gorgeous new owner.

City boy Ves Hollins is only back in Piney Peaks long enough to sell the house he inherited from his great-aunt. The holidays have always been tough for Ves, and it's not any easier when he's distracted by memories of a Christmas long, long ago, and the irresistible charm of neighbor Elisha. He has no plans to put down roots or fall in love...even if Elisha unravels his hesitations like a bad Christmas sweater.

There's no question the two are opposites in every way. Ves is undeniably frosty. Elisha is brimming with warmth. He doesn't do commitment. She never runs from a challenge. But as the two grow closer, they quickly realize that the growing spark between them may be just what the season calls for.

I Really Enjoyed This One...

I enjoyed this so much more than I was thought I was going to. From the description I thought this was going to be more of a traditional enemies-to-lovers romance and those aren't always my favorite. But there was something about the cover that kept drawing me back to this book. I'm so happy I did pick this one. It was just so sweet and so much fun. This has all of the Hallmark Christmas movie spirit. It had all of the cute, cozy, snowy, holiday vibes while also being surprisingly spicy. The tension between Ves and Elisha was great and they had plenty of great banter. I didn't want to put it down and almost read it in completely in one sitting. It also didn't hurt that my mouth was watering with all of the Christmas treats described throughout this book.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a holiday rom-com. I really enjoyed this one.

Cute Holiday Read

Wrapped With A Beau had an interesting plot but it was slow at times for me. I did enjoy the characterization and writing, I was just a little bored. If you like small town romance, found family, grumpy x sunshine, awkward meet cutes, a little spice, and entertaining side characters, you may like this. The narrators were good and added to the story.

Perfect

This was such a cute story, especially for Christmas time. The voice actors were great too.

Cheesy, R-rated, entertainment

It's a pretty typical run of the mill corny Christmas romance story. Just be warned that there is language and descriptive sex scenes. So if that's what you're looking for to pass the time, you'll be content.

Blah

3rd person narrative fell flat
Insistence upon gendered language felt un neccessary & had zero to do with the story
Started out intriguing but by the middle I was bored & could not finish.
