Yup another Christmas novella for you guys today. I am on the roll. But they are so quick to read, and fun that I just been eating the ones I have on my kindle up. The Holidays is still over a month away, but I am already itching for the Christmas season. Plus, last year I missed out on a ton of Christmas books and that made me kind of sad.With Christmas on the horizon, an IRS agent Tara Holloway is assigned to investigate potential claim fraud against a jewelry wholesaler who has claimed theft multiple years and not paid her taxes. When she travels to Chisholm Trail mall, she meets an officer by the name of Megan Luz and together they attempt to get to the roots of the fraud and play matchmaker for Chris Rasmussen during the holiday season.Cute story I really did enjoy it.What I likedI thought the writing was once again, fast paced and sassy. It did made me giggle on multiple occasion. Both Tara and Megan had their own voice, which I found highly amusing. Even Brigit, the K-9 partner of Megan's had her own little chapters.It's Christmas time, so obviously that in itself played the large part in the book. A lot of the book actually took place at the mall, which was very different. But it included a hot Santa, kids and lots of Christmas decorations.The storyline was interesting, it was a cozy mystery with a mix of chick-lit and a bit of romance. A dash of this and a little scoop of that and you have a perfectly molded little Christmas novella. The ending was a bit over the top and action packed, but I still found it exciting. It was also very sweet how both Megan and Tara played matchmaker for Chris the Santa, and Charlotte who worked in Victoria's Secret, both broken and lonely people that needed each other for Christmas.This book was an introduction to me as far as this series goes because before picking it up, I never even heard of it or the author. I did enjoy her style of writing, it was fun. I also enjoyed both Megan and Tara. This book was also an introduction to Megan Luz, as it seems she will now be getting her own series with Brigit!!The author did another wonderful job at fitting a great story in just a few pages. It flowed nicely, everything clicked in the end. It was just a shame it ended so soon as always it made me crave more.What not so much....This book was written in first person, which I do not mind but because the two women alternated the two chapters, I was actually confused for a little while on what was going on and had to back track to realize that it's from a different person's point of vie now. Also it had a Brigit chapter once in a while too, which was kind of interesting but I could have went without it I guess.Got a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange of an honest review!
