With Christmas just a few weeks away, Gia San Valentino, the baby in her large, loud, and loving Italian family, yearns for a life and home of her own with a husband and bambini she can love and spoil. The single scene doesn’t interest her, and the men her well-meaning family introduce her to aren’t exactly the happily-ever-after kind.

Tim Santini believes he’s finally found the woman for him, but Gia will take some convincing she’s that girl. A misunderstanding has her thinking he’s something he’s not.

Can a kiss stolen under the Christmas lights persuade her to spend the rest of her life with him?

Review

from Netgalley netgalley.com/catalog/book/102722Review: A KISS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, by Peggy JaegerRated 5 out of 5 stars by Iris Chacon. (An electronic copy of the book was given to the reviewer in exchange for an honest, objective review.)This delightful novel does for Christmas what Nia Vardalos did for Big Fat Greek Weddings. In this case, the loud, large family is Italian and staunchly Catholic.With a million close relatives watching her every move, both socially and professionally, Gia San Valentino is still living in her parents' house in her mid-twenties. She is dutifully helping her mother and incorrigible aunts with the annual church Christmas Festival when a new soon-to-be-ordained young priest is assigned to Gia's parish.That's fine. Old Father Mario is older than dirt and will be retiring soon. What's not fine is that Gia is terminally smitten with Father Mario's young, handsome replacement! She knows two things for sure: (1) her family must never find out what she feels toward the priest, and (2) there is a special spot reserved for her in hell for what she thinks when she looks at him.The author wisely lets Gia narrate the story from within the craziness of a huge, nosey, Catholic family, and the resulting story is brimming with heart and humor. With mild language and no explicit sex, this book is fun for readers of any age from 10 to 100. While certain social and cultural aspects of being Catholic are mentioned, there is no religious discussion of the meaning of Christmas. This is just good, clean, wintertime fun and a great Christmas gift for readers ~Iris C, Reviewer

Fun flirty Christmas romance!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I absolutely adore Peggy Jaeger's Valentine novella about Chloe San Valentino and her large, meddling Italian family, so when I found out there was a Christmas story about Chloe's younger sister Gia, I snatched up a Kindle version to sweeten my holiday season.

Gia San Valentino is the baby of the family, a good Italian girl in her early twenties still living at home with her overprotective family. In the lead up to the holidays she's crazy busy with studying for her CPA exams while helping care for her elderly grandmother and helping out with her family's booth at the annual church Christmas festival.

Her well meaning family has set her up with numerous dates, but none of them make her heart stop like the new soon-to-be-ordained priest at her local church. She's more than convinced she's going to go to hell for having such carnal thoughts about a man of the cloth, and that's before he even kisses her. After? She can't think straight, let alone care. One kiss will never be enough.

This over-the-top New York Italian family makes for such fun reading, especially having grown up in Northern New Jersey with so many Soprano-like neighbors. Jaeger nails lots of the little details that make you both cringe and laugh out loud, and despite the fact that I figured out the story's "twist" well before Gia did, it only added to the fun to watch her emotional turmoil.

For a different sort of Christmas story that will definitely make you smile, grab a copy of this fun, fast read. You won't be disappointed!

A Christmas Romance with Lots of Laughs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Author Peggy Jaeger does it again with a rollicking novella about a large meddling Italian family. Gia San Valentino yearns for a home of her own, but her past experiences with the men in her life have been less than stellar-- until she meets Tim Santini while helping to string lights for the booths for her church's Christmas festival. Through a series of misunderstandings, the couple are attracted to each other, but Tim must convince Gia that he's not who she thinks he is.

This is a fast-read Christmas story with humor, romance, and insight into the craziness of a large family.

I love Christmas, canoodling and cannoli

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2016

What a fun read! Peggy Jaeger is back with another San Valentino clan story ~this time about the youngest member of the clan, Gia. This novella is jam packed with action as Gia navigates her professional life and her quest for love Italian style. Every observation is spot on and mamma mia our hero is as delicious as mama Francesca's Sunday gravy.
Grab this book the apperativo of your choice, a cannoli on the side and settle in for a funny, well written Christmas romance.

A fun Christmas romance!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love a Christmas romance, and this one was really fun! It brought to mind the movie "Moonstruck". So many Christmas romances are set in the country, so it was a fun twist to have this one set in NYC, in a big Italian-american family. Peggy Jaeger is fast-becoming one of my go-to authors! Her books all have humor, heart, sexiness...really enjoyable reads!

Fantastic holiday hit!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2017

Peggy Jaeger writes the San Valentino family with such loving mirth it had me laughing aloud throughout the story. Gia and Tim both captured my heart, but it was the incredible sexual tension between them that really had me fanning myself and crying Mi Dio! This is a highly entertaining holiday romp and I most definitely recommend it!

Delightfully Over-the-Top!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2016

While reading, I found myself chuckling and shaking my head at the antics of the San Valentino family. Everything from attending mass to changing a diaper to hosting a funeral is over-the-top. So, it’s no surprise that Gia’s wannabe romance with Tim Santini is also filled with drama. Ms. Jaeger has produced another delightful read, a Christmas novella that does not disappoint.

Grazie e Buone Feste!

Such a great story! After reading it, I feel like I’ve always known Gia and her crazy Italian Family. The author knows how to make the reader feel like they are part of the family. So good.
