GRR Reviews Christmas with the Billionaire (Holiday Encounters) by Amy Lamont

Christmas with the Billionaire started with a childish dare, and a woman with obviously too much alcohol in her system with a bit of romance can only be explained by "mistletoe magic". The rest of book is a bit of "meh".

Emma Glover is an introvert author who writes about sex for syndicated column under a pen name. A dare/bet among friends sent her seducing a stranger near Christmas in a hotel, and he liked her too. They had a one night stand, but he turned cold when he saw her "press" pass... Then she found out he's Nate Wilder, billionaire media mogul. Will mistletoe magic work on billionaires? Are they too different to truly explain their affections to each other? That they both may want more than just a fling?

Really, some Christmas alcohol and a shy introvert become a sex kitten? The "uh... I dunno" meetcute aside, the plot about discovering a "press pass" was actually a good complication, and this is under 100 pages so I wasn't expecting a ton of plot, but it made use of what's there. So overall, average.
