Main characters Colin and Audrey were both incredibly likeable, and while their relationship moved fast, I had no problem believing in the strength of their feelings for each other. I enjoyed their banter and fiery chemistry, as well as Audrey's sweet relationship with Colin's adorable young daughter, Perry. I had to laugh when Colin described Perry as a "princess with an evil mastermind," but it totally fit her feisty personality.
The mystery surrounding the owner of the B&B Audrey was sent to purchase in Colin's hometown of Winter Valley, Colorado was very intriguing, and I couldn't wait to find out why it seemed as if the entire town was determined to keep it a secret. The authors did a good job of keeping me guessing because when the truth was revealed it was nothing like what I had predicted.
The book's secondary characters, mostly members of Colin's family, were a ton of fun and added a tremendous amount of depth and humor to the story. I particularly enjoyed the way Colin and his siblings teased each other, as well as the way they welcomed Audrey and her mom into the fold.
Overall, "Holiday with You" was a short, sweet story with the perfect amount of steam, and I loved it. I highly recommend this story for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I hope that the authors will consider writing more books together in the future! I'd love to read future stories about Colin's siblings set in the lovely little town of Winter Valley.

Holiday With You, an all-new festive small town romance from USA Today bestselling authors Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire is available now!
Audrey’s boss gave her one objective—head to the small town of Winter Valley, and acquire that bed and breakfast the company has had their eye on forever. A big sale like this could change her career . . . and she’s the only one who could convince the owner to make the deal.
On her way, she crashes into the truck of sexy, unavailable, single Dad Colin Bradford. The repairs won’t be done until Christmas Eve, so she’s stuck in Winter Valley until her car is fixed.

Amidst all the hot chocolate, snowflakes, and silent nights, Audrey has a choice to make. Could Colin end up being her Christmas miracle?
Read an Excerpt from "Holiday with You"
I hit a patch of ice.
The car skids and spins out of control.
This is it.
I knew it.
This is how it all ends. I’ll slide into a ditch where no one will find my body until this winter wonderland thaws.
When the car slams against something, I hold on to the wheel and scream until the airbags blow, pushing me back into the seat. My lungs contract with such force I’m afraid they might fold into themselves. The car has spun so many times that, when the door opens, I'm disoriented.
"Are you okay?" someone asks smoothly, the baritone of his voice reverberating through my bones. The low rumble is comforting, and I could listen to it all day.
When I look up, I understand why his silky words felt like a warm hug. I’m in heaven, and St. Peter is the most gorgeous angel I’ve ever come across. Not that I met any while I was among the living.
