review 1: Casey is in Kismet to get Heather's TV special back on track, but the place is driving him nuts. It is over the top Christmas everywhere he looks and he isn't a Christmas guy. Heather has told him that all she needs is for him to keep her sister out of her hair. Then she tells Kristen that Casey is there to shut down the production and to try to keep him away from the set. At first meeting they really don't like each other, but are forced to spend time together. Kristen is determined to get Casey involved in some Christmas spirit. Casey would like to get closer to Kristen. I liked Kristen's Christmas spirit and the way she tries to get Casey on board. She has some real sibling rivalry issues with Heather that have contributed to her extreme Christmassyness. She st... moreill loves her sister but it is mixed up with other feelings also. I liked Casey's ability to help people find solutions to their problems. It shows a real way with understanding people and what makes them tick. I also enjoyed seeing the way that Kristen was able to get him to participate and enjoy various Christmas activities. Both of them showed some real character growth by the end of the book. Their story was overrun on many occasions by the secondary characters. Heather was creating the problems on the set because she wanted more time with the guy she had a crush on and had no problem using her show to do it. I thought she was terribly manipulative throughout most of the book, but finally exhibited some redemption at the end. There was also a romance between two of Kristen's employees that started when they were trying to protect Kristen from Heather's paparazzi. I enjoyed their story but there was so much of it that it was a distraction from Casey and Kristen.
review 2: Casey Jackson is the guy everyone calls when they need something put back on track. His reputation for bringing in production projects on time and under budget is known throughout the industry. Now his stellar record has brought him to Kismet, Michigan, to fix the production woes of a holiday special gone sour. Too bad Casey hates Christmas.Kristen Miller is sick and tired of her famous sister trouncing on her family’s holiday plans and traditions. Kristen is too busy running her diner to care about Hollywood nonsense. She is more than ready for Heather’s holiday special to wrap up. When her sister calls and asks Kristen to babysit a man dubbed “The Terminator” before he can shut down her television show, Kristin knows it is just more of Heather’s trademark drama.Kristen is nothing Casey expects. She oozes holiday cheer and down-home goodness. As he navigates the murky waters of Heather Miller’s drama plagued television set, his first thought is that Kristen may offer him some much-needed insight. A few gingerbread and paper snowflakes later, Casey realizes that there is more missing in his life than he ever imagines.Together for Christmas is filled with quirky holiday traditions and Christmas cheer. It also possesses a lively secondary cast that eclipses Casey and Kristen’s romance completely. The two main characters seem to vacillate so wildly between like and dislike that it is difficult to unravel the motivations behind their actions. This one is for readers searching strictly for a holiday romance full of fun and campy humor.Kaitlin Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More less
