LOVED this story!!! Very heartwarming and will make you teary-eyed. I loved it so much I tried to find others similar to this. It had very original parts to it yet some that a few people would find clichéd. Nonetheless, it was a sweet romance that you would like to read every time you pick up a book with romance in mind. Holly is very sweet and determined to make others happy for Christmas through the community secret santa list. Her enthusiasm and innocence was very inspiring and made me want to go out and do things for others. Marcus is also very sweet and not exactly the scrooge that I might have liked him to be. He has his spoilsport moments but ends up showing his good side. I liked how he was truthful about using the gifts that he received. It was actually quite funny what he says about them since the gifts did not exactly have the results Holly thought they would. I was very disappointed when it ended. Although I have been choosing shorter stories to read, this is one of the stories that I wanted to continue and be longer than it is. Holly was truly a strong character and one of those that when they fall in love, it's so heartbreaking to see them wanting to catch even just a small glimpse of their love. I loved how she couldn't stop herself from going to Marcus. Marcus in turn had a wonderful part. It was the perfect timing when he comes through for her. This story was also made strong by Holly's outspoken friend Jilly.I hope the author writes more stories like this and that in the meantime I can find others like this ;)
