    Filling in for a fellow a travel journalist, she gets sent to Vermont for a holiday story. Fallon Joy ironically does not enjoy the holidays at all! Levi White embodies the joy of the holiday season all year long in everything he does. So what happens when these opposites get stuck in a blizzard together? Fallon was not a likeable character for me until I learned her story. She came off as uptight, stuckup, and entitled. Can I just say Levi has the patience of a saint!?! He deserved a medal for putting up with her. He’s just a little too good to be true. However everything works out how it should in the end.

    The holiday season sneaks up on all of us and for Fallon Joy, being forced into sharing anything with the over exuberant Vermont Christmas elf, Levi Smith, was not on her list. She just wanted to hide away for two weeks, researching and writing her holiday travel article. She thought she had stumbled onto the set of a Hallmark Christmas movie when she arrived in Vermont. Levi’s home was decorated in Christmas splendor and it was frightening to think someone could actually live with all this sparkle. Levi was certainly hunky in a flannel shirt, tree farmer, kind of way. Being thrust into his world and his home was uncomfortable and tempting, at the same time. To make matters worse, the cold Vermont weather ushered in a giant snowstorm that caused the power to go out and Fallon's anger to intensify. She would give anything for a hot cup of coffee and an electric blanket, but Levi came to her rescue with a roaring fire and his loveable dog, who smothered her with sloppy kisses. Levi was enjoying his time with Fallon even though she was grouchy and opinionated. He was confident that he could melt her cold heart as he showed her all that his magical small town had to offer. He was proud of his family business and he loved seeing the children's faces as they picked out the perfect tree. If Levi could just make Fallon fall in love with Christmas then perhaps she would fall in love with him, too.

    This book is aptly named, because it was a joy to read! Fallon Joy and Levi White became my favorite holiday couple of the year, as well as one of my very favorite couples ever. I love the grumpy/sunshine trope, but even more so when it's turned on its traditional head by Fallon being the scrooge-like one and Levi a very sexy holiday elf. Their meet cute was extremely funny and definitely showed off their personalities in chapter one. Being from New England myself, I understand Fallon's aversion to the snow and cold, even growing up here. But the authors have continued to capture the small-town quaintness of the area, particularly Vermont, in this series. And to set it at Christmas is just extra special, blizzard and icicles included. I've enjoyed my time with this series, but never as much as I have while reading The Joy of Us. It will hold a special place in both my library and my heart.
  • This was phenomenal!

    I have loved all of these!!!! Kennedy Fox’s writing is so spot on. Great plots. Well written. Likable and lovable characters. Fallon and Levi are no exception. This is a small town love story with a broken heroine. And I’m here for it! Highly recommend
