As if ruining my life wasn’t enough, now he’s back to ruin my Christmas.
Melissa
The only thing I hate more than Christmas is Tucker James—the guy who wrote a song about me after I turned him down in high school.
He became famous. I became infamous.
With Tucker back in town to play at the annual winter festival, this Christmas is shaping up to be one of the worst. Everyone in Halften loves the hometown country music star who put our town on the map.
Everyone except me.
Tucker
Years ago, I wrote a not-so-flattering song about the girl I had a crush on in high school.
It became my first number-one hit. And made her the laughingstock of our hometown.
Now I’m back in Halften, and it’s pretty clear the only thing Melissa Ellis wants for Christmas is me out of her life.
But in a town this small, it’s going to take a miracle for either of us to make it through this holiday season unscathed.
A sweet holiday romance full of witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and heart-stopping chemistry!
Christmas After All by Cece Louise is a sweet romantic comedy that features enemies to friends to lovers situation, and I’m all here for it!
Can Melissa tolerate seeing Tucker around town again?
Melissa Ellis
Melissa Ellis was in her junior year when sweet Tucker asked her to prom with him for his last year at the school. Sadly, things didn’t go as planned, and Melissa turned him down while saying awful things. Melissa knows she made a mistake when he became famous after a song he wrote became a hit. Ten years later, Melissa is still in their small town and waitressing. Melissa has changed from the brat she was in high school to now at twenty-seven. She has matured a lot, and she grew up a lot faster than most young adults do. I was rooting for Melissa to realize the mistake she had made.
Tucker James
Tucker James made it big after he wrote a song that he probably never should have about Melissa and her then-boyfriend. He is such a charming man. Tucker has had it rough in life, but you wouldn’t know it with the way he acts and carries himself around. When reading his parts, you can tell how much he cares for Melissa and her safety. Tucker is a great guy who hasn’t met the one for him yet. Will he get Melissa to see him in a new light besides enemies?
I have to say that Tucker and Melissa are an adorable couple, and I can’t wait to see more.
Five Stars
My rating for Christmas After All by Cece Louise is five stars, and I totally recommend it. Ms. Louise is great at writing for both of her series. I love them both, and I am invested in both. Ms. Louise made me fall in love with Melissa and Tucker and the other characters she introduced in this story. I can’t wait to see where else this series leads us.
