Review: Rebel Without a Claus by Katana Collins

Rebel Without a Claus Rebel Without a Claus by Katana Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via the author and LiterallyYours PR, all opinions are my own.

You might be thinking it is far too early to be indulging in Christmas romcoms, but this was adorable.  I related to Luke so much.  I'm a bit of a grinch  myself.  Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Christmas the snow, the lights, the peppermint everything, but the holidays can also bring with it some bad memories and a lot of family drama.  

Eve is the queen of Christmas, she is home for the holidays from making Christmas movies in LA and she loves nothing more than helping her parents out at their during festival time.  Winning the festival's grand prize would really help out Eve's parents as their inn has been struggling since a chain hotel has moved into town, but Christmas and competition are what make Eve thrive.  Enter Luke, a local reindeer farmer who hates all things related to Christmas, and for good reason.  The holiday brings bad memories with it for him and while none of it is Eve's fault he associates her with that terrible time.  Something is different this year and if Eve wants to win Christmas and save the inn she is going to need Luke's help.  Armed with candy canes and cheer, Eve manages to melt Luke's icy heart and they both discover why their town and the holiday is so special.

If you love grumpy sunshine, friends to lovers, small town holiday romances this was so cute!  It embodied what Christmas and the holidays are all about!  Helping your friends and neighbors, making people smile, spreading joy,  spending time with the people you care about, new beginnings, and so much more.  I thought Eve and Luke had great chemistry, even better banter, and the humor was spot on.  I loved the meddling townsfolk and the chaotic reindeer.
