The Plight Before Christmas
The Plight Before Christmas | Kate Stewart
13 posts | 11 read | 18 to read
From the international best-selling author of Drive and The Ravenhood Trilogy comes a heartwarming holiday romance with all of the feels. Now an AMAZON Top #10 Best Seller! A #1 Best Seller Holiday Romance A #1 Best Seller in Holiday Fiction A #1 Best Seller in Inspirational Romance A #1 Best Seller in Romantic Comedy Clark Griswold was onto something, at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug--another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn't get--I'm not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER. When Mom insisted that we all gather at my Grandparent's ancient cabin for an old school family Christmas, I fully intended to get into the holiday spirit with the help of the three wise men, Johnnie Walker, Jack Daniels, and Jim Beam. But those boys did absolutely nothing to offset the shock or temper the sting of seeing my EX on our doorstep the first day of our holiday soiree. Apparently, Santa missed the memo, and this elf is pissed. Stuck for a week with the man who obliterated my heart nearly two decades ago, I did the only thing I could do and put on my game face, thankful for the home advantage. I knew better than to drink that last cup of eggnog. I knew better than to get tongue tangled beneath the mistletoe with the only man to ever break my heart. I knew better than to sleep with Satan's wingman on the eve of the Lord's birthday. I could blame the nog. I could blame the deceitful light blue eyes, thick, angelic hair, and panty evaporating smirk...but mostly, I blame Eli because he always knew exactly which of my buttons to push. I foolishly thought a family Christmas filled with nostalgia was going to turn my inner Scrooge around, but this year's festivities went up in flames. Leave it to the ghost of my Christmas past to be the one to light the match. Fa la la la la, la FML. The Plight Before Christmas is a full length, second chance, Christmas themed romance and most definitely on SANTA'S NAUGHTY LIST!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Looking for a holiday read that‘s both naughty and nice? This one has family, romance, emotion, and humor - pure Christmas fun! The audio production was really well done; I always love this male narrator! I don‘t know if I would have enjoyed it as much if I was reading it with my eyes.🎧

My favorite book in December was The Plight Before Christmas by Kate Stewart. Looking back, 2023 was filled with fantastic books. Hope 2024 will also be filled with great books. 💜📖💜📚💜

Set in the mountains of NC, family Christmas, the college ex shows up for holidays, forced proximity. I really liked this book. I felt like it was a bit deeper than other Christmas romances.

Finished on 12/20. #DashingDecember #WinterGames #HollyJollyReaders #Rushathon #holidayromanceredathon

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1️⃣ I had one goal, to read 100 books and I changed it to 200. I will end the year at over 230.
2️⃣ Only one, The Plight Before Christmas (tagged)
3️⃣ Lots of series I need to finish or at least work on. #SeriesLove2024 As for individual books, I want to read System Collapse before the end of the year.

This book totally took me by surprise. The characters and plot had a lot more depth than I normally find in a romance novel. I fell in love with both the MCs. This is perfect holiday story to warm your heart. Free on KU and Audible if you have the plus membership. 4.5⭐️

Roary47 I‘ll have to check that out. 😍 12mo

It‘s not often that I rate a holiday rom com anything over 3 stars. This one is so good. I laughed out loud many times and fell in love with all the characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A holiday rom-com that I could totally see becoming a movie. Whitney heads to her family cabin for Christmas to discover her brother has invited her first love that crushed her heart to the family celebration. This is a steamy screwball comedy that has a touch of angst and drama to balance things out. Also don‘t let the cartoony cover fool you, this has some solid steam. 4⭐️

This is Atticus. He sometimes thinks he is a cat, but he is really 1/2 German shepherd, 1/4 husky, 1/4 lab. #WinterReadathon @Andrew65
