"Don't tell anyone... but I think I have a crush on Santa Claus!"

Olivia’s biological clock is ticking and she has no time for casual dating – especially not with the likes of Collin Sterling. Rich, spoiled, and arrogant, Collin is definitely not husband material, even though his deep green eyes send chills down her spine.

Collin admires everything about Olivia - her spunk, her sharp wit, and sharper tongue. And he’s doing everything possible to prove he’s the kind of man who deserves her. Until he realizes she’d be better off without him.

Then a man in a Santa suit gives Olivia a magical kiss that takes her breath away. How can Collin possibly compete?

It's a fun case of enemies to lovers and mistaken identity that leads to happily ever after! Grab your copy now!

A Love/Hate Circle romance

This was my first read by this author and in all fairness, billionaire books and love/hate books are not my favourite genre so I found it quite difficult to get into this particular story. The book is well-edited and has some interesting aspects to it. I liked Collin's interest and care for Martha, and loved how his sense of humour was protrayed in many instances. I found it difficult to understand his feelings towards his mother. Overall, there are some things in this story which will make you smile, and the sisters and their relationship was one of them.If you are into this type of will she, will she not type of love or hate relationships, you will enjoy this story.

Try enjoyable

I enjoyed the book immensely, but I found that at some point I felt like they went around in circles. I think it was to show the nature of the people involved and the trouble they got themselves into finding each other. However, it got to be a little much after a while. I did enjoy the ending but was not really crazy about the kidney part of it all.

Are they just too different to fall in love?

Olivia is finally starting medical school, after working her way through nursing school and various jobs in order to pay her own way. At 27, she is feeling late to the party and very aware that she isn't where she thought she would be in life - not helped by the fact that her family and friends are all pairing off and having babies.Collin has somewhat of a player reputation and has never really made the right impression on people he meets. Especially Olivia, who he met two years ago and has been attempting to get on her good side every since. But nothing seems to be working, with her stating that their lives are just too different and that he has no idea what it is like to struggle and work for everything.With an impromptu kiss, Olivia is left weak at the knees and sending her head swimming with thoughts of Collin. But it would never work, although she is unaware that he has been making changes in his life. All he wants to do is protect and love her, will she ever let him?

Great love story

I truly loved this story about Olivia and Collin. As always Tammy has away to draw you in. Good clean story!

Pretty good

This story was pretty good but somewhat contrived. I understand Olivia's take on rich guys but she didn't even give Collin a chance when it was obvious that he had changed. I did enjoy reading the book but not my favorite by this author.
