Santa Sommerville was looking forward to a holiday spent with her best friend at a Swiss ski resort, but from the moment she arrived she found herself running into a devastatingly attractive duke. His personality is nowhere near as appealing as his looks, yet whenever they touch, sparks fly, and she has a hard time getting her mind off of him. Louis Ablemarle wants to gain full control of his company, but that requires staying away from scandals, which has never been his strong suit. When paparazzi photos of him trying to help Santa make them look like they’re up to something scandalous, he proposes marriage as a way to resolve the situation with both of their reputations intact.
VERDICT Give the second “Christmas with a Billionaire” novel (after Unwrapped by Her Italian Boss) to readers who love an enemies-to-lovers story. Santa and Louis provide an entertaining battle of wills that is continually undermined by their searing attraction to each other.
