Lights, Camera, Christmas: A Man of the Month Club Novella: A small town grumpy-sunshine beach romance Kindle Edition

by Kara Kendrick (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 253 ratings
He’s a hometown classic. She’s a Hollywood has-been. Can he convince her that holiday magic still exists?

My agent tells me this is my last chance. I need to sparkle in this cheesy made-for-TV holiday movie or my career is over.

P.S. I HATE the holidays.

So spending half the summer sweltering in kitschy Candy Cane Key, Florida, filming faux Christmas cheer in the wake of my messy divorce sounds like pure agony.

Turns out, I’m one-hundred percent right about this job—everything that can go wrong does. From missing costumes to wildlife disasters (hello—gator on the set!), it looks like this movie might never make it into the can.

And the plot twist: one devastatingly handsome fishing charter captain, Maddox Banks. He’s the polar opposite of my ex—kind, gorgeous, and so full of Christmas cheer the man practically jingles every time he moves.

Will one night with him have me rethinking my grinchy ways? Because everyone knows Happily Ever Afters only happen in the movies.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kara Kendrick writes fun and flirty steamy small-town romance destined to give you all the feels. A reformed English major, she also has a master’s in counseling and was an elementary school counselor in her pre-mom life.

She loves the beach, wine, and rock hard abs, not necessarily in that order. When she’s not dreaming up Happily Ever After’s, you can find her chasing after her boy-girl twins, working out semi-hardish, or walking her adorable Shiba pups with her husband, who’s not too bad himself.

    Ivy is in town to film a movie for The Christmas Network. Maddox is a small town boat business owner, helping out with the movie. The attraction is immediate. Ivy is reluctant as she is coming out of a divorce.
    Do they give in to the attraction?

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Hallmark recreation
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
    This was like reading the script for a Hallmark movie and the fact that they were filming a movie at the same time in the book probably lent to that feeling. It was a cute story, had it's sexy moments and it's awww moments too, but there wasn't anything in the story that truly wowed me. I did enjoy the bonus scene you can get by signing up for the author's newsletter.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Ivy es una famosa actriz que acepta hacer una película navideña en Candy Cane Kay para alejarse de las noticias sobre su divorcio y es allí donde conoce a Maddox. No me llamó mucho la atención, la verdad. Es muy corta, los personajes tampoco aportan mucho.

    This is a fun, entertaining, quick read. Maddox and Ivy are interesting, intriguing, wounded, strong, relatable, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. These two are fun to spend time with. I love being back in Candy Cane Key. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

    Maddox is the local boat captain hired to help the Christmas Network get their movie made in Candy Cane Key. Ivy Winter is a tormented actress hired to play the leading lady in the movie. Sparks fly and things heat up quickly between these two. Ivy has doubts but Maddox is sure enough for both of them. Insta-love at it's finest!
