How My Neighbor Stole Christmas
$5.99
A new winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always spicy, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.
Living in a year around Christmas town has it’s drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It’s why I like to hibernate away in my cave–I mean house–keeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.
And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest – which she was determined to win.
Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.
There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we’d shared.
So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That’s right, I planned on beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three sizes this season.
And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.
We pretended to date.
We kissed.
And well, sparks flew from there.
Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition, and a ladder. Don’t let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need to find out for yourself . . .

I LOVED this holiday read!!!!
First this book is not as spicy was I thought it was going to be. Thats not a bad thing. It just is a slow burn, and because of that it means there is no spice for a large part of the book. Just the way it was hyped I expected it to be like extremely filthy. Its not. NOW when it gets spicy, it does get VERY spicy. So beware when it starts spicing, (around 60%) its spicing. The story is cute. It made me laugh. I giggled a TON. My daughter actually complained I kept her up one night with my giggling. So definitely a romcom, with a hallmark feel that after about 60% gets extra spicy (like the author let the lid fall off her spice as she was adding it to the story. She didnât sprinkle. She dumped it all in) lol. So did I enjoy this book? Absolutely. I listened to the audio, and read on KU. Did it enhance the story? Absolutely. Did it make it hard to pause when I was laughing so hard I snorted? Um possibly. BUT remember audio has the little 30 second rewind thing. Definitely worth reading with audio, obviously for educational purposes. Never for the spice, and the male narrators voice.This is a spicy holiday Contemporary Romance. The romance is a enemies to lovers feel, with a second chance. There is spice in the second half of the book. The spice in the second half of the book is fairly frequent, and descriptive. The book moved at a quick pace following Storee, and Cole as they meet again after many years apart from childhood. After coming back to town Storee enters a holiday competition, which Cole decides to never let her win. With a complicated past Storee, and Cole pretend to date to get ahead in the competition, only what if her hearts not pretending anymore? This book is, funny, steamy, and cute. It is a book that has you addicted with its fantastic banter, and simmering romance.

Fun and festive read!
If youâre looking for a festive read with humor, spice, and a sprinkle of Christmas chaos, this is the perfect holiday read for you! ð ð»Set in a year-round Christmas town, this spicy Grinch inspired romcom is packed with snarky banter, lovable characters, and major Hallmark vibes. From the start, Storee (FMC) and her grumpy neighbor Cole (MMC) clash in a rivalry that evolves into a swoony fake-dating scenario sending plenty of sparks flying.One of the bookâs standout features is the unique Christmas-themed poems that open each chapter. Whether theyâre naughty, funny, or downright cute, they added a whimsical touch to the story that I absolutely loved. Another delightful surprise? The gorgeous illustrations throughout the paperback – total bonus points for that!I also listened to the audiobook while reading, and it was fantastic! The narrators did an amazing job of capturing the chemistry between the characters. It brought the story to life in a way that made the already hilarious banter even more enjoyable. Highly recommend pairing the audiobook with the physical book if you can! ð§The first half of the book had me hooked with its snappy dialogue and hilarious antics, though I found the pacing a bit slower in the latter half. At times, the story dragged on a bit, but the chemistry between the leads and the spicy scenes (Iâm looking at you candy cane scene ð) kept me turning the pages.Overall this is a festive, flirty, and fun romance perfect for readers who love their holiday reads with some extra heat! ðâ¥ï¸

A Cute Christmas Romcom to Kick off the Season
I like Meghan Quinn, she does a good job of writing romcoms with spice and good spice mind you- not that calm quiet spice you might get in a typical romcom (which has its place too!). And this book was no different.She built the characters nicely, you could tell the end from the beginning, but you loved them and wanted it to happen. They had the perfect friction moments and the perfectly crafted tumble in love and lots of spicy moments (one with a candy cane that I’m not soon to forget … It was … Well you tell me.) And it had just enough Christmas to be in the mood but not over the top.At the end of the day it was cute and a good romcom. It wasn’t Meghan’s best, but it was a nice way to ease myself into the silly world of Christmas and romcoms mashed together (the only kind of romcoms I watch anymore are Christmas ones OR the millennial aged ones bc I grew up on those and have great memories.)I loved in CO for years and Meghan had me wishing I was in Kringle, I could imagine the small mountain town and where I’d live (might’ve looked like Vail or Eagle but who’s telling).So if you like the sound of all of that, if you sound like me, go ahead and read it. It’ll put you in the Christmas mood, or at least start to.That said, it wasn’t Meghan’s best. Which to be fair, she writes a lot, she has a formula that works. And so they all can’t be good.She changed up her formula slightly and took a page out of The Grinch and Twas the Night Before Christmas. I liked the allegory and I liked the switch up in her typical story telling.I didn’t love the narrator to character talk (the break of the fourth wall) It was weird and a little unhinged and lacked the injection of humor she was going for. I didn’t mind the rhyme she built throughout but it didn’t add value to the overall story. However, she did a good job building it. I can’t imagine that was easy.I also hated the twist at the end. I will not spoil it. But it didn’t read well to me. And again, added very little value to the story but also took away from the character development that Quinn had done throughout. I understand it’s meant to evoke sympathy but she’d done a great job garnering that from the audience throughout the twist was unnecessary. The outcome would’ve been the same without it. And if anything it made me angry at the individual who pulled it. So many book on focus on that lack of communication skills, someone keeping something from someone else instead of just asking or explaining. And a lot of it is for the plot, so I can deal. But in this case, it made me sad and mad.And with that I’m off to read another Meghan Quinn book bc not only did this book put me in the mood for Christmas stories but also for more Meghan Quinn. Be on the lookout for more reviews about ridiculous falling in love stories! I do hope you enjoy How My Neighbor Stole Christmas.

It took me a bit to get into this one. The characters drove me a bit crazy, then I started to love them, then others would drive me crazy. It, of course, turned out okay, and love was found, but it was a bit of a battle getting there. The premise was cute, the âbattlesâ were on point with what would be expected of a âChristmas Townâ and I liked that the author didnât âplay favoritesâ with the winners of each competition.It was a good reminder of The Spirit of Christmas and family and working together. There were some touching moments, moments that had me a little choked up.
by Kindle Customer
This book was so funny. There is so much comedy mixed with romance and friendship. The love for Christmas and family really comes through in the characters. I really would like to see Atlas have his own story.
by Melissa McHolm
I totally enjoyed this read it was a perfect start to the Christmas season. Storee and Cole are so fun and the banter is on point definitely recommended
by Maria Elisa
This review is not about the bookâs content but rather the condition in which it arrived. Unfortunately, it was damaged and ruined in several places, which is really disappointing. Also because it wasnât on the cheap side. It looks more like a used book than a new one.On a positive note, I love the cover and canât wait to read itâjust wish it had arrived in better condition!
by Julie Brodie
This is easily one of the best Christmas books!The competition and the narrating are Hilarious!The friendship between Cole and Max is Hysterical!The relationship between Storee and Cole is Scalding!The only improvement that could be made is the epilogue. Way too short! Left me feeling not quite satisfied; like something was still missing.
