Date Yourself a Grinch by Savannah Scott: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

He’s allergic to Christmas. I’m practically made of tinsel. What could go wrong?

I’m not saying Gage Lockett is the actual Grinch … but if someone in town woke up tomorrow to find all the candy canes missing, my money’s on him.

The man glares at twinkle lights like they personally insulted his mother.

So when he accidentally reads my Holiday Bucket List—complete with “Kiss under the mistletoe” and “Make snow angels”—I hatch a plan. I thought he’d toss it in the trash where joy goes to die. Surprisingly, he decides to tag along.

Now my friends and I are dragging Waterford’s grumpiest bachelor to every holly-jolly event from ugly-sweater tree lighting to the sleigh race, and I swear I catch him almost smiling once. I’m not saying drawing out another one of those smiles made it onto my holiday list—not officially, anyway.

When Gage volunteers for the town’s Secret Santa fundraiser, I start seeing the man beneath the scowl. Maybe the one thing missing from my holiday list is … him.

Date Yourself a Grinch is a cozy, closed-door, laugh-out-loud, small-town holiday romcom full of heart, humor, and just enough mistletoe to make even a Grinch believe in love. This story is a part of the Have Yourself a Merry Little Romance holiday trilogy.

The Author

Savannah Scott loves writing happily-ever-after romcoms with scenes where kisses make you melt. Her characters feel like long lost friends, and the settings make you want to take off on a road trip to visit.

You will smile. You will laugh. Yes. You will need coffee because you stayed up past your bedtime reading. Sorry, not sorry.

If you can’t find Savannah, she’s probably hiding with a book, dancing Zumba, or going a little crazy being the fun carpool mom who cranks the tunes and always goes through the drive-thru for copious amounts of sugar and fat on the way home from school.

(Can you keep a secret? I thought so. Savannah also writes as Patty H Scott, which is the Clark Kent to her Superman. If you like clean romance, check out Patty's books.)

Book Review

This one hooked me right from the title... after all, who doesn't love the Grinch!? Tori and Gage had such a fun grumpy/sunshine dynamic. She's all about the holidays and even has a holiday bucket list... and he's... not. That doesn't stop her from bringing him along on some of her holiday adventures though! With a secret Santa and mistletoe kisses, there was so much holiday cheer to love in this story. And a cute dog in need of a home and all the Grinchy references make this one even more sweet too! If you're looking for a swoon worthy holiday romance (or three), this book and series are ones you'll want to add to your TBR this season! 

Date Yourself a Grinch is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the Have Yourself a Merry Little Romance trilogy, and while those who have read the previous books will enjoy catching up with some familiar characters, this could probably be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
