Wreck the Halls by Tessa BaileyRating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Tessa Bailey does spicy holiday reads like no other!
This book will be a perfect holiday read, if you don't take it too seriously. Readers will devour it in one sitting (I sure did) as holiday lights twinkle, fires burn and hot cocoa is enjoyed. This book is meant to be fun from page one and Bailey hits all the high points.
Now I will say that my enjoyment of this book relies on 100% suspension of disbelief. The plot is ludicrous and if anyone in real life acted like any of these characters, it would be intolerable. (Oh look a possessive control-freak (with a tragic past and dark secret) is proprietary over a woman whose only characters trait is having a crush on him...so unique!) However, in this case the story is exactly what is on the tin and for a quick winter romp, it is silly perfection.

- Ridiculous premise that leads to even more ridiculous love/lust at first sight? Check.
- Two archetype characters that exist purely to be spicy? Check.
- Cast of tropey side characters who all act like lunatics? Check.
- Completely improbable resolution where everyone acts out of character, but you don't care? Check.
- Spice that will make your toes curl? Check.
