I don't get Montana Secret Santa. It's part holiday tale, part romance, but the theme somehow never quite gel'ed for me.
Ad exec Krista Martin, avoiding her angst-y Hollywood family, had settled in Marietta Montana to run her Big Sky Promotions. Feeling a bit too grinch-y, she joined the Secret Santa Society, and ended up as co-chair with the tech wunderkind Jonah Andrews, who's back for the Holidays from Silicon Valley. Krista can use the connections, and Jonah can use... her companionship, esp. when they spar over type of cocoa and chocolate. It was obvious to Jonah that Krista had lost her Christmas spirit a long time ago... and Secret Santa can help... right?
I wasn't sure if this is supposed to be enemies to lover, person who lost her Christmas spirit, or both. Krista just come across as depressed and apathetic, and she's supposed to be the local. Jonah, the cheery one rich wunderkind, was supposed to be just visiting... They don't fit well. There are interspersed moments of clarity and purpose, and some scenes worked, but overall, it just didn't feel warm and fuzzy to me.
