Publisher Description
Clara Davenport wants to solve Fraser Falls’s biggest problem. According to Jack Kelly, Clara is Fraser Falls’s biggest problem.
All Clara Davenport has ever wanted to do is climb the ladder at Davenport Innovation Creative, her family’s toy business. Everything was going according to plan, until the company was accused of stealing a doll design from an independent toy maker, creating a flurry of bad publicity. With a promotion dangled in front of her like a carrot to a reindeer, Clara is tasked with charming the locals of the small town to solve the PR nightmare, by any means necessary.
Jack Kelly would be happy to never hear the name Davenport ever again. Less than a year after a guy in a fancy suit appeared on his doorstep with a sleigh-full of promises, the company that once falsely claimed they wanted to sign him to their small business program has copied his design. So when Clara prances into town hoping to convince Fraser Falls that her company is not the enemy, Jack is determined not to be fooled by Davenport twice.
But Clara has a plan to win over the community only to realize that beneath Jack’s frosty demeanor lies the key to the town’s heart—and maybe her own.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Hannah Grace’s delightful big-city-girl-in-a-small-town romance embodies the spirit of giving. Tasked with handling the dirty dealings of her family’s toy company, Clara Davenport travels to tiny Fraser Falls to extinguish a public relations fire. Unfortunately, the tight-knit community—and native son Jack Kelly, whose doll design was stolen—isn’t ready to forgive and forget. Grace cleverly draws a parallel between her two protagonists, with each trying to navigate a relationship with a difficult father. Clara captured our hearts, working harder than a team of Santa’s helpers to win over Jack (and his adorable dog, Elf). And as romantic pairings go, the tension between Clara and Jack is hot enough to turn even the sturdiest snowman into a puddle. Trading off the narration, Christine Lakin and Teddy Hamilton keep the tone twinkly and bright. Holiday Ever After goes down with the smoothness of a homemade hot chocolate on a snowy winter’s night.
