Gabriella is someone who is leery of others since she has a hard time reading others. After a failed relationship, she's not sure what she can believe. It doesn't help that she works with a very stoic numbers man, Jonathan. But then they learn that their company may not keep its doors open. So they have decided that the one who makes the most sales gets to stay on.
I chose this book to read for part of my Christmas in July segment. Mainly because I had wanted to read this over the holidays last year and it got lost in the shuffle. Gabby is great at explaining how hard things are in just her everyday being on the spectrum of autism. The entire explanation and just the character were brilliantly written and made for a fuller story. Jonathan was such a great opposite to her. He gave off Mr. Darcy vibes. I loved reading this book and will be looking for more books by Chloe Liese in the future.

“He loathes the holidays. She loves them. She’s full of festive cheer. He’s brimming with Bah, Humbugs. Besides unreasonably seasonable names, the only thing Jonathan Frost and Gabriella Di Natale have in common is a healthy dose of mutual contempt. Well, that and the same place of employment at the city’s most beloved independent bookstore, Bailey’s Bookshop. But when the store’s owners confess its dire financial state, Jonathan and Gabby discover another unfortunate commonality: the imminent threat of unemployment.
With the Baileys’ requests to minimize expenses, win new customers, and make record sales dancing in their heads, Jonathan and Gabby conclude—barring a financial Christmas miracle—one of them will soon be cut from the payroll. Neither are willing to step down from their position, so they strike a bargain: whoever has more sales in December gets to stay on in the new year; the loser will resign. With a lifetime's worth of festive tricks up her sleeve, Gabby should easily outsell her nemesis, except the unreadable Mr. Frost’s every move seems purely designed to throw her off her game.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Gabby's deceptive ex won't quit pursuing her, and her anonymous online friend suggests they take a break. Worst of all, as the pressure mounts to save the bookshop and her job, Gabby meets a new, tender side of Jonathan. Is this the same man she's called her cold-hearted enemy?
Maybe he’s got a motive she just can’t figure out—or maybe Jonathan Frost isn’t as chilly as she once thought. Maybe Jonathan and Gabby already know—and love—each other in ways they never thought possible.”
