I enjoyed this book so much! This is the seventh book in the series but my first to read. I got it because the title and cover caught my eye. I could tell that it wasn’t the first book as characters were established and there were small references to some of them. Even though I knew it wasn’t the first book, I was able to fully enjoy it on its own. I am very interested in previous books.
I like Bonnie and Griffin. I could relate very well to Bonnie. I loved that her children were a part of the book. I can get annoyed by children being introduced in the opening chapter and then you don’t see them again until the wedding. Do they even know the groom? In Deck the Gnomes, Sadie and Casey were included up until the end. I admit I was a little disappointed that they weren’t in the wedding part. I was expecting to read what they wore and what part they played in the wedding. It was a teensy disappointment though as there were surprise guests, (at least a surprise for me), attending. They drew my attention away from the children.
If you are looking for a fun book with Christmas and love magic, pick this up. The gnomes are really part of the story, too. I’m planning on reading the rest of this series.… (more)

Santa's Helper is a delightful Christmas story of a very hardworking organized, single mom who works from home. For the Christmas Season, she has a "Santa's Helper Blog site, to Christmas shop for those who are too busy to shop for anyone.
Her friend put a Flyer up in the Corporate business building where she works, which immediately caught her boss's eye. Little did she or "Santa's Helper" know what opportunities that would avail!

The characters in this story will "steal the reader's heart"! They are very well portrayed and are so "real" and "alive"! The scenes are described in a way the reader will fell like he/she is there!

This story will surely intimately capture the attention of its reader.
^ Beware: There are explicit sex scenes and some profanity and "strong" language.

It is written very well, although slightly predictable.

*This was gifted me with no persuasion, whatsoever for a positive review. This is my honest review.… (more)
