That it took two people to write a dumb-ass retreaded story like this is sad. It says a lot about the capabilities of the authors - or lack thereof. The fact that a Christmas story was released in September says a lot about how dumb and desperate the publisher is, too. The blurb isn't any better: "Struggling to make ends meet as she raises her niece, Holly Snow accepts an offer to do wealthy scrooge Archibald Harrington’s Christmas shopping — and texting him for more information may just lead to falling in love." Barf. if the guy starts out an asshole, there's no reason to believe any perceived change will be permanent. How many women have gone into a relationship thinking the guy will change? And what kind of huge percentage of those have been sorely disappointed? It happens all the time. It's sad. There's no comedy here. It's a tragedy. The real tragedy here though, is that unimaginative authors keep on recycling these dumb-ass stories.
