The Release Tour for FALLING FOR XMAS by Carly Phillips!

By Misty @

✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for FALLING FOR XMAS by Carly Phillips!


I came to Charleston for a fresh start. Falling for my Christmas-obsessed neighbor wasn't part of the plan.

Holly Monroe is sunshine wrapped in a big red bow. She lights up her house like Santa lives next door and believes Christmas magic can fix just about anything.

I'm grumpy, guarded, and about as festive as a lump of coal.

But when a community toy drive puts us on the same team, Holly drags me into Christmas chaos—and straight through every wall I've spent years building.

Between holiday markets, decorating disasters, and her impossible smile, I start falling for the one woman who sees past my grumpy exterior. She reminds me of the grandmother who made Christmas magical before life took that magic away.

For the first time in years, I'm starting to believe in Christmas. And maybe love.

Then my career forces me to make a choice, and I make the biggest mistake of my life.

Holly deserves someone who chooses her. Now I have one chance to prove I'm that man before I lose the woman who made me believe in happy endings again.

Because sometimes the greatest Christmas miracle isn't under the tree. It's finding the person who feels like home.

A swoony Christmas romance featuring grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, small-town holiday magic, a grovel-worthy hero, and a happily-ever-after.

Holly Monroe is the cheeriest woman he has ever met and while she might be cute, he can't stand the way she loves Christmas so much and wants everyone around her to feel the same. Of all the neighbors to have! Good thing he can go indoors and ignore her Christmas extravaganza next door... or can he?

Falling for Christmas is a sweet and steamy little novella that is bound to leave you smiling! These two are pure perfection on the page, while one is sunshine personified the other is as grumpy as can be. Every time they are near one another you can feel the sparks and also feel Clay's resistance to her slowly slipping away...much to his dismay!

 He does not understand her obsession with Christmas nor the nonstop cheer, and he doesn't want to, but he's stuck being paired with her for the local toy drive so what else can he do. He tries to keep her at an arms length with his grumpiness, but she always finds a way past his tude and tests his limits every chance she gets...and boy is it fun to watch!!

I really enjoyed this festive offering from Ms. Phillips, as always her writing entertained, made me smile, and hit me straight in the heart! Highly recommend!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Growing up one broken rule at a time. It started with a list. The things we swore we'd never do. Kiss boys. Lie to our parents. Wear push-up bras. We were nine years old and certain of everything. McKenna Moore was everything I wasn't—fearless, opinionated, and always one step ahead. I was the quiet one, never needing to be the center of anything. But standing next to her always made me feel braver. We spent summers at the lake, made pinky promises in the dark, and bottled our girlhood like fireflies in a jar. We thought we had forever. B...
