It's a great read. The supporting cast had me rooting for them as well as the "Grinch". And it took me a while to realize that the author told us in her hilarious website daily journal that she would make the hero of her next book an ER doctor due to her daily "experiences" and she...umm..delivered. At times I felt as we advanced through the story that this could be a movie. The element of music felt like it was in the background amidst the holiday fare of Christmas. Rather than humor, the fun of what the "new" gifts for the 12 days of Christmas song would turn out to be was enjoyable and and full of warmth. The gift for for Ladies Dancing and Lords A Leaping part was innovative and still a perfect fit for the story and mood. Something I enjoyed about this book was that the romance permeated the spirit of the story rather than being force fed to us. At times, I felt like shouting the old adage, "Kiss her, you fool !" The pacing was smooth like a good evening. Thanx for another good time, Ms Kent. It was a cheer me up book for the holidays with a lot more substance (and structure) than I expected from the line.You're raising the standards.

I liked this Christmas story about young professionals living in the same apartment building. I thought the story premise was unique with out being unrealistic, and I liked the characters different, engaging personalities. The story was nice, and simple, not too heavy. The story also totally centered around Christmas, which I really liked, since that is the point of a Christmas romance!
