Enjoyable and lovely. “I like my life the way it is. Clean. Controlled. Absolutely devoid of messes.” Devyn's used to her daughterly duty of flying in, cleaning up her mother's messes, and then returning back to her neatly organized life in Chicago.  Except this Christmas, her mother has arranged what Devyn calls "an episode of the Melody Grey Bachelorette" and has invited all of her ex-boyfriends, including Devyn and Vaughn's respective dads, along with her family, for a crazy amalgamation of a Christmas and birthday party.  Ten years ago, Devyn and Vaughn lived together for a few years while their parents were dating, and though both seemed to feel something for each other, they hid it behind teen snarking.  When they meet again at holiday getaway, it's obvious their attraction is still there, and even harder to deny.  Is it just a guilty holiday pleasure, or will it turn out to be a Christmas miracle? Devyn has always lived a life as far opposite of her flighty mother's as she can manage.  I liked how, as the book progresses, Devyn finally admitted that while she loves her controlled everyday life, she also loved being the ringleader at her mother's circus, as Vaughn put it.  I liked how Devyn and Vaughn interacted with each other - still slightly snarky but with an underlying vulnerability that was simply charming. Overall, though, the book is an ode to family.  There are several lovely scenes of Devyn reminiscing about her childhood while surrounded by a gaggle of cousins, aunts, and uncles, and they were very sweet.  In a lot of books that deal with family relationships and parental baggage, it often feels like the family members are there solely to be the bad guys.  I liked how in this one, while the not particularly pleasant quirks of the family members were explored, there was still a general fondness and love for them.  To me, family is really the heart of the holidays, no matter how much they drive you crazy, so this really gave it that special holiday feel for me. “What if you could be anything you wanted to be—a little bit crazy and a little bit controlled and anything else your heart desired? What would you be then?” As for cons, I disliked that Vaughn seemed perfectly fine keeping Devyn in the dark about his career.  While I wouldn't say he intentionally misled her, it did seem like it wouldn't have been that big of a deal to just tell her.  As I picked this up without reading the previous Greys of Montana book, I did have problems keeping the minor Grey family members straight, though it didn't affect the main plot of the story or my enjoyment of the book. Overall, this was an enjoyable and lovely family-oriented holiday novel!  

Nostalgic!. I'm gearing up for the Christmas season and this was a great book to get me started. It almost felt nostalgic reading about the Grey's and all the crazy this family represents. I think most people can relate to them. Like Devyn, you love your family even when they are being irritating. You can be annoyed with your mom, sister or cousin but you're the first one to stand up and defend them. You want to be in the heart of the craziness even when you want some peace and quiet. I almost felt I could be Devyn in this book. While this was all about family, it was also just as much about Devyn and Vaughn. Seeing them fall for each other in the mist of all that crazy was a beautiful thing to see unfold. And that ending! It just gives me the warm and fuzzies! If you're ready to get yourself in the mood for Christmas, I recommend Devyn and Vaugn's story! ARC provided by NetGalley.

Awesome. I loved this crazy wild ride of a story. The Grey's are definitely a different type of family and the craziest of all is Devyn Voss's mother. She simply loves men and she's had plenty in her life. Now she is celebrating her 50th birthday with a big bash which includes family and quite a few past loves. Once again it's up to Devyn to do her mother's bidding and clean up behind her. The only good thing to come from this craziness is that she reconnects with Vaughn Taylor. He was once almost her stepbrother although she never looked at him quite that way. He's attending the celebration to keep an eye on his dad and make sure he doesn't suffer another heartbreak at the hands of Devyn's mom. Turns out it isn't his dad's heart he should have been keeping an eye on!! Great read and one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.
