Why read it?

1 author picked The Christmas Wager as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A fun, festive little romance that I re-read any time of the year when I need a little more warmth in my heart.

Honestly, I could go on about the fun country manor setting, the delightful side characters, or the sweet relationship between the two leads, but all I’m going to say is that it has one of the most amazing, over-the-top romance novel covers ever and it is 1000% worth checking out for that reason alone.
