Kiss Me On Christmas by Sarah Monzon

 




About the book:
 
Title: Kiss Me on Christmas

Author: Sarah Monzon

Series: Destination Christmas (The Christmas Lights Collection)

Single mom Kaitlyn Stafford has never considered Christmas a balancing act, but when her sister calls with the news that she’s getting married in less than two weeks—on Christmas Day—that’s exactly what the holiday looks like becoming. Helping with the out-of-state wedding will be fun. The challenge will be doing so while accommodating her neurodivergent son’s need to keep every single one of their Christmas traditions while they’re away from home. It’ll be tricky, but she can do it.
At least, that’s what she thinks before her son’s favorite YouTuber, Beckett Walsh, shows up on the scene, knocking her world off-kilter with his speaking glances and knowing smiles. How on earth is she supposed to pull off her balancing act when her world’s just tilted on its axis?

About Sarah Monzon


A Carol award finalist and Selah award winner, Sarah Monzon is a stay-at-home mom who makes up imaginary friends to have adult conversations with (otherwise known as writing novels). As a navy chaplain's wife, she resides wherever the military happens to station her family and enjoys exploring the beauty of the world around her.

Like most writers, I hear voices, a.k.a my characters, and can't get those voices out of my head until I write down their story (which they tell to me...I have no control whatsoever). Think I'm a bit crazy? That's okay. My husband thinks so too and he still loves me.

My family is my life and I am 100% devoted to them.

I'm socially awkward and canNOT small talk for the life of me. Which, one would think, authors should be good at since we sit and make up dialogue all day. Sigh. I wish that were the case. Thankfully my husband and kids can both talk up a storm so I normally just hide behind them and smile. (This was said in fair warning in case we meet in person)

And because I've admitted I can't carry on a conversation, if there is anything else you want to know about me, just send me a message! Can't wait to hear from you. =)

My Thoughts:

I loved this book! Liam was literally the star of this book. 
Christmas can be very stressful for everyone, and children should be enjoying it to the fullest. When Liam's Aunt plans her wedding on Christmas day his little world gets turned upside down. Watching him stress and worry about their Christmas traditions was heartbreaking. His mom, Kaitlyn didn't miss a beat. She knew exactly how to help him through. Running into his favorite You-Tuber at the airport wasn't a bad thing either.
There was sweet romance which I loved. But, I adored the relationship between Kaitlyn and Liam. You could tell Kaitlyn was hyper-focused on him and his needs and made sure they were met. 
This is much more than a Christmas romance it is a beautiful story of the love of a mother for her son who battles ADHD, and Autism.
