About this ebook

A sweet holiday romance!

Sylvia Moore returns to Dickens during the annual Christmas in July festival, hoping to land the New England location for a new Christmas romance movie. She knows the town will award only one filming permit a year but is confident the deal’s in Santa’s bag.

After all, she’s the hometown girl with the hometown advantage.

But her rival, Chase Ellis, is also in town, and he’s out to grab the Dickens location for a movie, too, working the locals and smooth-talking the town council. This is a familiar snowy path and Sylva ponders whether to confront or avoid him. They’re both staying at Holly Hill Inn, so avoiding him—and his molten chocolate brown eyes—is impossible.

Then Chase proposes a sweet as Christmas candy deal. When that falls through, Sylvia counters with a deal of her own.

Both know their reputations and careers are on the line. Sylvia assures her boss the contract is in her Christmas stocking. Chase knows if he loses, he risks future jobs for his newly formed company. And if that isn’t enough, the competition takes on an unexpected twist when the two sneak kisses that could scorch even the hottest of days during the Christmas in July festival.

This short story is a prequel to the Dickens Holiday Romance Series proper. In this short story we are introduced to Sylvia Moore and Chase Ellis. They are both in Dickens, New England trying to secure the town as a film location for their respective employers. The problem is, Dickens only allows one film to be made there each year. Who will win. This is a lovely light-hearted short story with a somewhat predictable happily ever after. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this s

Chase and Sylvia are competing for the same Christmas movie set location, her home town of Dickens. She thought it was a slam dunk, but he puts up a good fight. I thought it was too quick between enemies to kissing and considering sabotage for love. I would have like a little more to the short to novella length story before the epilogue.

A very sweet romance that makes me think of a Hallmark movie. I did find it a bit predictable. The characters are entertaining and the story is very sweet. I can't wait to read more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
