Smitten with Candy Canes: A Sweet Romantic Comedy Set in Finland: Smitten with Travel Romantic Comedy Series, #4

By Ellen Jacobson

Snowflakes and love are in the air in this sweet Christmas romantic comedy set in Finland.

 

When Zoe is stuck working with her arch-enemy, Max, in Santa's Village over the holidays, she thinks things can't get any worse. But when Max convinces her to pretend that they're a couple, Zoe quickly realizes that this is going to go down in the books as the worst Christmas ever.

 

Having to fake being Max's girlfriend isn't easy, especially when he's constantly flirting with every other woman beside her. All Zoe wants to do is clobber him over the head with a giant candy cane. But as they spend more time together, Zoe sees a more vulnerable side of Max that almost makes her forget why she hates him so much.

 

Will the spirit of the Christmas season soften Zoe's heart and help her realize that what she feels for Max isn't fake after all?

 

If you like quirky characters, happily ever afters, and mischievous elves, you'll love Zoe and Max's story.
