BLURB:

When Jules Evergreen lands in trouble at the North Pole and gets shipped off to Snow Hope Island for ninety days, he never expects to take up the cause of the forgotten toys waiting for new homes. Falling for his new boss is not on the agenda either, but his heart has other ideas.
Felix Winterson has grown up on Snow Hope Island and now runs the place. He isn’t thrilled when party boy Jules arrives, and Felix tries hard to ignore the man’s charms. He has other problems, anyway. For years he’s tried to get Santa to look at the growing inventory of damaged toys in the warehouse, to no avail.
When Jules comes up with a plan to save the toys, the men find themselves working closely together. As Christmas Eve looms, there’s a lot at stake. Can they save Snow Hope, convince Santa to rescue the toys, and fall in love all at the same time?

REVIEW:

Absolutely adorable. A perfect Christmas tale with lovable characters, lots of snow and a cute little pooch named Belle.

Jules is one of those characters you almost love to hate. He’s cocky, arrogant, and a bit of a player. But as you get to know him, you find out he’s more or less bored. He feels like he doesn’t fit in anywhere and anytime he’s trying to have fun, he gets in trouble with the big man himself, Santa. Being exiled to Snow Hope Island for 90 days isn’t helping. He’s trying to make the best of it, but it’s just one more place he doesn’t fit in. At least he has eye candy. But Felix seems like he doesn’t care much for Jules. And for some reason, that bothers Jules. He’s also starting to notice things. Like the tons and tons of toys that keep popping up. He doesn’t understand why they can’t be fixed.

Felix is a shy, sweet man. He has grown up on this island and loves it there, but he feels like he has no purpose anymore. He’s had so many ideas, only to have them shot down by Santa. So he just keeps going, doing the same boring thing day in and out. When Jules talks to him about fixing the toys up or giving them as is to children with disabilities, Felix is excited. Someone else to share his ideas.  But how to get the ideas by Santa. Jules is going to get to the bottom of this, when another no comes to him. He’s a man on a mission.

I love the relationship that grows between Felix and Jules. Jules has finally started to find a place that feels like home with Felix. They talk, they make out, but they take it slow. It’s hard on Jules and Felix both, when Jules’s reputation keeps popping up, but Jules has finally started learning what family, love and such really mean. To see him grow after being such a selfish playboy. To see him have passion and a drive now. He even starting bringing Felix out of his shy shell.

It’s an incredibly sweet story. I really loved it and I think you guys will too. Merry Christmas!
