Review of Chasing Christmas Eve by Jill Shalvis

Brief Summary Courtesy of Avon 

Meet cute...

Run for the hills—temporarily. That's Colbie Albright's plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie's so over it that she's under it. She's also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she's pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won't be a stranger for long.

Make merry...

Spence's commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn't have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot chemistry—he's got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she's gorgeous and a great listener just because she gets Spence immediately doesn't mean he won't be able to let Colbie go. Does it?

and hope for a miracle.

Now the clock's ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.

My Review: 

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and author in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is probably my twelfth or more book of Jill Shalvis that I have read and the 4^th in her Heartbreaker Bay series. Just like her previous books Jill did a great job of mixing romance, drama and humor all into one book. I felt from the moment that you starting reading the first page to the very last one you are hooked.

I really enjoyed the storyline in this book as well the characters that Jill created Spencer and Colbie. The characters were like many people out in the real world. They wanted love but spent too much time concentrating on work. This really helps the reader connect to the book because who doesn’t root for the lonely workaholics to get together!

In addition to the characters and storyline like all of the other books that Jill has written I enjoyed how she incorporated light humor into the book. She does this by giving us those witty statements/comebacks that us long time readers know and love and cant wait to read once we crack open her books and new readers which I once was laugh out loud about. 

Lastly, I really enjoyed the way that she incorporated the other characters into the book. She does a great job of giving you the updates you want but not distracting you from the main characters story.

I recommend this book to readers who love contemporary romance but also love a little humor in your books. Once you start reading her books you won't be able to stop. They keep getting better and better.
