Spirit of the Season

I tried so hard to like this story but it fell so flat and I absolutely detested the whiny main character. I give this book 2 stars.

We find Joy who is running her own successful nail polish business thrown back to her home town of Spruce City after the sudden and unexpected death of her Nana. Her Nana runs the Hart and Soul B&B one of five in this small town and now Joy is thrust into the owner and manager of said B&B. She arrives right before Thanksgiving and is reunited with her mother and the every present and nosy Izzy who runs the B&B with Nana.

As is usual with this type of story Joy decides to make major changes in her life after meeting Will Drake the lawyer for Nana's estate. I really really tried to get over the bratty behavior of Joy but I just could not. I know her character meant well but all the fussing and whining about how she now has to run another successful company was just too much. The story was predictable and really lacked substance.

I truly would have given this book one star but I love Christmas and the idea of a small town so I gave one extra star for setting.
