Kate Stewart (Romance author)

From the international best-selling author of Drive and The Ravenhood Trilogy comes a heartwarming holiday romance with all of the feels. Now an AMAZON Top #10 Best Seller! A #1 Best Seller Holiday Romance A #1 Best Seller in Holiday Fiction A #1 Best Seller in Inspirational Romance A #1 Best Seller in Romantic Comedy Clark Griswold was onto something, at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug--another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn't get--I'm not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER. When Mom insisted that we all gather at my Grandparent's ancient cabin for an old school family Christmas, I fully intended to get into the holiday spirit with the help of the three wise men, Johnnie Walker, Jack Daniels, and Jim Beam. But those boys did absolutely nothing to offset the shock or temper the sting of seeing my EX on our doorstep the first day of our holiday soiree. Apparently, Santa missed the memo, and this elf is pissed. Stuck for a week with the man who obliterated my heart nearly two decades ago, I did the only thing I could do and put on my game face, thankful for the home advantage. I knew better than to drink that last cup of eggnog. I knew better than to get tongue tangled beneath the mistletoe with the only man to ever break my heart. I knew better than to sleep with Satan's wingman on the eve of the Lord's birthday. I could blame the nog. I could blame the deceitful light blue eyes, thick, angelic hair, and panty evaporating smirk...but mostly, I blame Eli because he always knew exactly which of my buttons to push. I foolishly thought a family Christmas filled with nostalgia was going to turn my inner Scrooge around, but this year's festivities went up in flames. Leave it to the ghost of my Christmas past to be the one to light the match. Fa la la la la, la FML. The Plight Before Christmas is a full length, second chance, Christmas themed romance and most definitely on SANTA'S NAUGHTY LIST!

"I finally finished this book. I don’t know why it took me such a long time to finish. I did really enjoy the story and giving people second chances, I also fell in love with Whitney’s family. 🥰 If I’m being completely honest I think it was hard for me to picture the characters, how they acted to one another didn’t suit their age since they were much older. I don’t really like older age romance, I would have liked it more if they were maybe in their late 20’s or early 30’s even. Overall it was still a cute Christmas story. "

"Loved this book! Had a lot of the family chaos we all experience during the holidays with a great story about forgiveness, family and love. I’m very picky with “love story” books and loved this one so much. "

"This book is amazing. I’ve reread it now 3 times. If you’re looking for a second chance romance (set around the holidays🎄)with the perfect mix of nostalgia, romance and spice - this is it ❤️"

"Ok, this story was actually really good. I feel like this would be more popular if it wasn’t advertised as just a Christmas romcom. <br/><br/>I loved Eli so much and I think he had the cutest nickname for Whitney in any book I’ve ever read. “Bee”"
