Tic-Tac-Mistletoe (Hartbridge Christmas series #1)

Who needs to follow through with their goals when they can read some more Christmas romances? Here's N.R. Walker's "Tic-Tac-Mistletoe."

["Hamish Kenneally is moving from Australia to the US for a fresh start, starting with Christmas at his sister’s place in Idaho. When a snowstorm diverts his plane to Montana and leaves him stranded two days before Christmas, he hires a car and drives right into a blizzard.

Ren Brooks has always called Hartbridge, Montana, and his family hardware store, home. After a few failed attempts at love, he’s resigned to being single forever—after all, no guy wants to stay in his sleepy little town for long. And after his dad’s passing earlier in the year, Ren’s Christmas is looking bleak. But when a car runs off the road in front of his property, Ren pulls the driver out and takes him home to get out of the cold.

With the storm and the holidays leaving Hamish with nowhere else to go, Ren kindly offers a place to stay. Hamish is certain he’s crashed right into a Hallmark Christmas movie, despite more car delays and road closures and the prospect of not seeing his sister for Christmas. And with help from Hamish, Ren is beginning to feel a little Christmas cheer.

These two unlikely strangers have more in common than they first realize, and after two days of Christmas decorations, cookies, and non-stop conversation, it looks like Christmas might be saved after all."]

Soooooo damn cute!!! I mean, I knew it would be. The town seems Hallmark-y enough, let alone with the blurb actually describing it as a Hallmark Christmas movie? GAH D: It was so damn perfect. I want a little town that looks like it belongs under a Christmas tree covered in snow (though I really don't like snow) with carols and cheesy movies playing in the background. Add in Aussie lingo and meeting your true love? What more could you possibly need??

The "what more you could possibly need": all of the "Schitt's Creek" and "Legally Blonde" quotes. (which, might I add, are not only in the novel, but on fucking point).
