For my first 'festive' book of the season, I'm extremely happy! This story had all the right elements and a definite Christmas feel to it.I wasn't sure what to expect when reading this story, the blurb didn't give much away. The Gift is fun and flirty. It's full of witty banter and some serious sizzling chemistry. Imogen meets Blake at a Christmas party, and there's an undeniable attraction to one another. They spend time with one together, inevitably growing closer, only to experience something so life altering they then make a pact with one another.Maybe it was the alcohol but I was enjoying whatever this was and I didn't want it to stop. There was an electricity in the air and I felt more alive than I had in a long time.Karli has a way of writing such entertaining interactions between her characters. Blake and Imogen were hilarious. I spend the whole time with a huge smile on my face. The wittiness between them just showcased their attraction to one another. Its not all fun and games, there are plenty of swoony moments too. Blake is practically perfect. Tall, dark, utterly handsome, AND studying Law *Heart Flutters* He's kind and considerate, and a gentleman, what more could a girl ask for?"Close your eyes for a second""Is this one of your moves? Are you going to kiss me?""No. WHEN I kiss you, I want your eyes open. I want to look at you and know that you're feeling what I'm feeling."I really enjoyed Imogen's character too. She can hold her own against Blake and she knows what she wants. This would of been a 5 Olive read for me, but my greedy self just wanted more. It felt like there was a little more to the story to be told.
