Evan Scruggs made his millions pretending to be someone he's not: A sweet grandma with an affinity for writing America's favorite cookbooks.
While executives love his food, it was very clear from the beginning that his prickly personality and people skills were not going to sell anything to the public. His recipe books have topped the charts for years, however, the name and face on the cover belongs not to Evan, but to Granny McPherson, America’s Grandma. But when that Granny from the cover has a melt down in the frozen foods section on live television, Evan has to win back the public's good favor if he wants to keep everything he's worked for.
Brooke Cratchett lives on hopes and dreams, but very little else. When Brooke Cratchett inherited her grand parent’s 100-year old farmhouse, she set out to make it into a bed & breakfast, despite knowing little about business or cooking. Now her dream is crashing around her—bills are coming due, she still can’t cook, and the inn sits empty. She's hoping for a miracle when her cousin Winnifred has a brilliant idea. She can coerce her client, Evan Skruggs, to the inn to do a series of television Christmas specials. Bringing publicity for the inn, and a chance for the public to fall in love with Evan, what could go wrong? Just about everything, and typically on live TV.
As Evan struggles in the spotlight of public scrutiny, issues from his past stand in his way. If he can't change, will he lose the future he dreams of? Brooke tries to keep a smile on her face as her simple life is swallowed in the chaos of reality television. Is saving the inn really worth the lack of privacy? Between snowball wars, broken gingerbread houses, and chance meetings under the mistletoe, their lives will never be the same.

Evan is a fake - he's a real chef, but he's a fake granny. He's also a real charitable soul hiding under a grinchy scrooge of a personality.
Brooke is the hapless B&B owner who's going to melt the scrooge's heart by unwittingly taking him thru Christmas's past, present & future - and slap his face (it's a Scrooged joke). To be more clear, it doesn't actually follow A Christmas Carol's construct, or Christmas in Connecticut's for that matter, but I did enjoy finding little similarities linking them.
This is a fun story all its own with the added bonus that it doesn't take all the expected turns & actually kept me guessing how the author was going to lead them to their happily-ever-after. It's going on my Christmas favorites list!
*Romance level: passionate kisses, nothing graphic
(4.5 stars) - a little bit of Scrooged meets a dab of Christmas in Connecticut
