The Christmas Countdown

By Holly Cassidy

G.P. Putnam's Sons - October 2024

Contemporary Romance


Callie Meyer had grown up with and fell in love with her next door neighbor Oliver. She had moved away with him, and they had started careers in the same company. All had seemed perfect until he dumped her. Luckily her sister, Anita, lived in the same city and she went to live with her.

Unfortunately, Anita loved Callie and wanted to help her get into the Christmas holiday. So she came up with an Advent Calendar that alternated between gifts and activities. Callie reluctantly agreed, but with conditions. Soon she stopped dreading the activities to looking forward to them. Especially after she met baker Marco Lancaster. He's witty, fun, and eager to join in the festive tasks.

With Marco, the Advent Calendar changed from being something Callie tolerated to something she never wanted to end.

The Christmas Countdown is the perfect romance read for the holidays. I have enjoyed all types of advent calendars, still do some in fact. This was a brilliant idea, having both gifts and the gift of activities for the sisters to do together. I really enjoyed Callie and Marco's antics as well as watching Callie blossom as Marco help her heal during the holiday season.
