4.6 out of 5 stars 1,359 ratings
Dylan Maxwell is a busy man.
His no-nonsense approach to life and business keeps him balanced—and alone.
His life is bland—devoid of any kind of sweetness or light.
An unexpected business trip close to Christmas, however, brings three people into his life he never expected.
An oversharing teenager.
A lisping little angel.
A sexy, unassuming woman unlike any he has ever met. Her bossy attitude challenges him, while her green eyes melt the frost around his heart. They draw out something in him that he has never experienced.
Feelings.
Are they the Christmas miracles he needs—or will he walk away from the sweetest gift he has ever been offered? Love.
Book #2 of the Insta-Spark collection. Complete standalone reads with one thing in common - lots of sweetness and a guaranteed HEA. Instant attraction, little angst - love and happiness abounds in this series.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    New York Times/WSJ/USAT International bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

    While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

    Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling downstairs), and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily-ever-afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Then Dylan opened the File his new assistant gave him with his travel plans & when he saw his sleeping arrangements was for the Sleep Moose Inn, he was ready to fire Amy until Mrs. C told him she instructed her to do so. Mrs. C told Dylan he had to open his eyes and take in his surroundings before meeting George Walsh & his one stipulation was Dylan Maxwell had to stay at the Inn. Dylan wasn’t happy with Mrs. C & thought he was happy with his life of solitude until he arrived in Halifax. He encountered a teenage boy named Seth, a spit fire named Alex and a little girl who had a little lisp because she was missing her to front teeth named Noelle. She had his heart the minute the met in the hallway outside his room & she became his little owl. Find out if this Christmas will forever change; or will he return to his life of all work & solitude.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Christmas Sugar is Dylan Maxwell's story on how he met his match. Dylan Maxwell is a grinch; he's all business all the time, a successful investor/realtor. No softness; his main volume is somewhere between a grunt and shouts out his wants or needs; everyone hides, except his long-time personal assistant, Arlene, who is retiring at the end of the year. Arlene has been like a mother to him, and she started working for his father; then, when Dylan began his company, she left and joined him. Dylan is interested in property in Pinegrove, a place called Ocean Bluff Resort. Alrene Carson spoke with the owner George, and together they decided that Dylan needed to stay a few days to check out everything.

    Dylan is accustomed to certain privileges like first-class accommodations, so when his plane is delayed and lands, he finds a teenager named Seth there to greet him. None of the benefits like a warm car, his bags taken and stored. He learns quickly that this place is not his usual stay. At the front desk is a slight woman who is beautiful, her name is Alexis. She has a young child named Noelle that captures Dylan's heart.

    This story is predictable, something you might find in a Hallmark movie minus the sex scenes, which you might find on HMO or Netflix.

    5.0 out of 5 stars From Sweetless to Sweetheart!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was in a place when I needed something good to read, something that would help me relax from what was a very tough year for me. Not surprisingly, I found this in a story written by my favorite author, Melanie Moreland. Christmas Sugar details the life of Dylan Maxwell, a man devoid of all things sweet. He seems to be as bland as the black coffee he drinks. His only redeeming quality...his obvious love for his assistant who is retiring. All that changes when he takes an unwanted business trip to a supposedly sleepy little town and meets three people who change everything for him. Don't get me wrong, just because Dylan shows no sweet characteristics in the beginning, this book doesn't start as bitter pill that becomes easier to swallow when he meets Alexis (Alex). I laughed from the minute his retiring assistant, Arlene, called him out for his behavior towards Amy, the new assistant. I laughed when he actually thought he would have a bottle of Courvoisier waiting for him at a place called "The Sleepy Moose Inn". And I absolutely ROFLMAO when he met Seth. Not only did Seth have to explain what ROFLMAO meant, he also had good advice..."Hope your coat's warm. It's colder than a witch's tit out there!" From the time he meets Alex, you saw the conflict in him, however, I personally believe meeting her daughter Noelle, started his path to sweetness. Her sweet little lisp when she asked "Dywan! Iz you da ath-hole?" OMG! I feel for that little girl then. I think his path was decided then, and Alex was the sugar on top!

    This is an absolutely wonderful story! I read through it twice in as many days! It was just what I needed! I loved watching Dylan's transformation into the sweet book boyfriend that Melanie writes so well!

    I am never disappointed by Ms Moreland's stories. For me, this was a perfect Christmas story of Two people falling in love but also finding and building a family and the side characters are so enjoyable as well. Seth it the typical teen and Noelle is precious without being obnoxiously so. I would actually love to read her story next.

    Dylan is the owner and CEO of Maxwell Corp and his whole focus is hinged on the success of his company to the deteriment of any personal life. He is determined to close his latest multi billionaire dollar deal even if that means he needs to spend Christmas at The Sleepy Moose Inn in Nova Scotia to get it done.

    Alex has her hands full with raising her daughter Noelle as well as Seth who is teenager. She manages the Inn but her sole focus is ensuring the happiness and wellbeing of the two children she is responsible for.

    These two couldn’t be more different as he is grumpy where she is giving, he is city she is country but the most important different is that she loves her family and he doesn’t want one or does he?

    This is a sweet and heartwarming story that will have you believing in Christmas miracles and the magic of the season.

    I adore Melanie Moreland and her books. She really does a great HEA with a little angst, fab characters, sweetness and heat!

    I know that ‘instalove’ stories aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoy them - and add in a Christmas theme (that I read on a hot July day in Florida!!) - I really enjoyed Christmas Sugar

    Dylan Maxwell reminded me a little of Richard VanRyan from The Contract series, maybe not as much of an ass but he wasn’t far from it! Thankfully his fate hadn’t been sealed and he still had time to redeem himself!

    What can I say about Alexis.... she was a sweetheart, took care of everyone and never gave a thought to her own life or happiness. Who’d have thought meeting a ‘snooty’ millionaire businessman from the big city could change her life....

    Noelle and Seth were great additional characters who grabbed my heart as quickly and as fully as they did Dylan’s!!

    A really great read that you could be sure to get through in a day!
