USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts takes readers to the charming, snowbound town of Pine River in this irresistible holiday romance.

Sometimes you need to look beyond the big picture to see what really matters

Olivia Berg’s charity, Christmas from the Heart, has helped generations of families in need in Pine River, Washington, but this year might be the end of the road. Hightower Enterprises, one of their biggest donors since way back when Olivia’s grandmother ran the charity, has been taken over by Ebenezer Scrooge the Second, aka CFO Guy Hightower, and he’s declared there will be no more money coming to Christmas from the Heart.

Guy is simply being practical. Hightower Enterprises needs to tighten its belt, and when you don’t have money to spare, you don’t have money to share. You’d think even the pushy Olivia Berg could understand that.

With charitable donations dwindling, Olivia’s Christmas budget depends on Hightower’s contribution. She’s focused her whole life on helping this small town, even putting her love life on hold to support her mission.

When Guy’s Maserati breaks down at the edge of the Cascade foothills, he’s relieved to be rescued by a pretty young woman who drives him to the nearby town of Pine River. Until he realizes his rescuer is none other than Olivia Berg. What’s a Scrooge to do? Plug his nose and eat fruitcake and hope she doesn’t learn his true identity before he can get out of town. What could go wrong?

Olivia is keeping up the family charity that has been running since her grandmother first started it. Things start to look a bit grim when the main donors Hightower Enterprises back out. When shes unable to convince the Ebenezer Scrooge CFO Guy Hightower she works her hardest to make sure shes still able to do what she can for others who benefit for the charity.While driving Guy's car decides to give out and who else would offer a lending hand other then miss charity her self Olivia. Not wanting her to know of his true name,he makes up one and ends up sticking around longer then expected intending to leave when his car is repaired. Until that happens hell be hanging around her and her community during this holiday season.
I loved this book! It'll defiantly get you in the Holiday spirit as you read this book so be sure to put this on your holiday tbr list. I loved getting to know the characters. I loved seeing how everything played out during this festive season, seeing first hand how Olivia's Charity was not only getting people into the holiday but its helped many people who needed help during the holidays that were tight on cash and really benefited from the charity she was running. It was interesting getting to see Guy volunteer his time and seeing what that money really would've helped if he had just donated in the first place. Then there was the romance that was blooming between the two and it was sweet to watch. Also this book does have a clean romance for those of you who were curious, I defiantly appreciated it. Then there was the drama of her best friend who clearly liked her and I was curious to see if he's stir up trouble and in what way. Overall this was just a sweet holiday book and I really enjoyed it.
