Hi, book buddies :-) One thing I have come to crave is romcom. And this combo of writers have the art dominated. Let yourself be HUMBUGGED!
MY OPINION
Every time this duo writes a novel, I am salivating like a child for cupcakes. And those too make an appearance here, along with flirty marines, adorably inappropriate seniors, bold animals, a haunting, and a quaint town in full Christmas spirit.
It's more fun than you can manage.
I couldn't stop smiling from the heroic meet-cute to the rambunctious animal action in the most surreal epilogue ever.
The story is a mix of cozy mystery, hilarious comedy and sweet, sweet romance. The down-in-luck woman trying her second chance in life and elusive happiness and the young Marine who solves all crisis with a joyful disposition, make for a sizzling-hot couple. The seemingly impossible match happens in the midst of caroling, snack-stealing pets, baking disasters and ardent passion that flows in between laughing-out-loud dialogues. I loved the town antics with its quirky inhabitants and the couples from other books. The texting is phenomenal and the little mystery is a great connector between the plot scenes.
I adored the family warmth coloured with so much humour, brotherly banter and friendly support. Happy Cat is one town I would love to be a part of, and in this novel it oozes Christmas charm in all kinds of seasonal events. The animals feature in really funny moments, especially the second epilogue where one of the mysteries is unearthed to my utter rolling-on-the-floor amusement. The main mystery is also solved in another surprising and fun turn of events.
Clint and Noelle are a sweet couple. He is so honest and lovable and strong, and she is adrift and finds a real home with real friends for the first time. It's truly adorable and tender. If this is the end to this town's stories, it's a rollercoaster and perfect one, though I sincerely hope we can go back to the O'dell family and their shenanigans.

What is this about?
He’s the world’s most alpha Marine and the last man I
should be letting jingle my bells this holiday season.
So why does Clint O’Dell keep running through my thoughts wearing nothing but a Santa hat? And why do I stupidly agree that we should be Christmas friends with benefits?
Someone must have spiked my eggnog.
I don’t do Marines.
Or Santas.
I learned my lesson about both the hard way.
But when Clint steps in to rescue me—from a murderous goose, a rogue reindeer, and the ghost of Christmas Right Now causing trouble in my bakery—I can’t help but wonder if we’re meant to be more than friends.
If maybe Clint is the holiday miracle I’ve been praying for…or if all the magic will disappear with the season.
Humbugged is a laugh out loud holiday romp featuring a Marine with a heart of gold and a baker in need of a hero. Complete with the world's most awkward Christmas caroling, a photoshoot with furry friends, and more naughty baked goods than is good or decent.
