Description from the publisher:
With Christmas only three days away, Carol Claus agrees to her father's request that she leave the North Pole on a mission to help save Christmas. Joining single father Ben Hanson and his children for the holidays seems an easy enough task until Santa informs her that Ben is the man behind the disturbing new book Beyond Bah Humbug: Why Lying to Your Children about Santa Claus Is a Bad Idea.

Posing as Miss Kane, the children's new nanny, Carol pulls out all the stops to show Ben how fun Christmas can be, all the while struggling to understand how one man could hate the holidays so much. How could she, Santa's only daughter, be so attracted to a man who refuses to believe her father exists?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MISS KANE’S CHRISTMAS is the first book in the Christmas Central series.

I was offered a copy of book three in this series as an audiobook, so I went hunting to see if I had any others to get me in the Christmas-y mood.  So here I am.

This was a quick, fun, sweet, Christmas story and a little bit of happy I needed.  I have to say that I loved the characters and the story.

It would be easy to hate Ben.  He hates Christmas!  Then you have to remember, even the Grinch’s heart eventually was turned and grew too large to be measured.  It’s not that Ben is a bad man.  He has been so hurt by the double loss of his wife – you’ll have to read it to find out what I mean about a double loss – that he honestly believes that a more realistic approach to life will lead to less heartache for his children.  Unfortunately, it’s making them miserable in the right now time!

This is where Carol comes in… Santa always sends the gift you most need and this time he sent it three days before Christmas.  Carol is Christmas personified!  Bells on her shoes and a smile in her heart and on her face.  She is exactly who you want to see when you are looking for that Christmas mood.  How could Ben help but to fall in love with her and the season!

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick literary sugar rush, a mood lifter, or a bit of holiday spirit any time of the year.  I can’t wait to return to Christmas Central (aka The North Pole).

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
