Carter is an insurance adjuster whose longing for creative expression spills over sometimes into his accident reports. Abby works for her adoptive father, Uncle Mannie, in the family bookstore, the ReadMore Café. Carter barely tolerates Christmas; Abby loves it. She can't wait past October to build her favorite display, the annual Christmas book tree stack, which Carter despises.

When an automobile accident throws Carter and Abby together, Uncle Mannie, who is harboring secrets of his own, sees a chance for lasting happiness for his little girl. But there are so many hurdles, and not much time left. Will this Christmas deliver the miracle everyone is hoping for? Where love and Christmas are concerned, there are no accidents.

I love Christmas stories but haven't had much time for reading lately, so this is one of the few I was able to get to this year. I was excited to read it because I enjoy the male perspective for a change of pace when it comes to contemporary romance. 

Carter is an insurance adjuster who chooses to be creative while writing his otherwise boring accident reports. Abby works at a bookstore owned by her Uncle Mannie. She's in a car accident, which ends up bringing them together. 

This book is full of likable characters. Carter made me laugh with his creativity and his opinions on Christmas books. His relationship with his family is strained while Abby is close to her Uncle Mannie. I enjoyed how their relationship developed despite the complications that arose. There were also some great secondary characters that they each worked with that added to the story.

This book made me laugh and tear up. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, quick, clean Christmas romance!
