He's shocked to discover that his sister has sold the family business to a beautiful woman. With the encouragement of his neighbors, he reluctantly agrees to write Dani's next musical.Working together, they discover more similarities than differences and grow close. When Dani's former best friend and America's sweetheart, Kara Kensington arrives, their blossoming relationship is threatened in more ways than one.

Holidays, Inc. is my love letter to the movie musicals of the forties and fifties. I had so much fun writing that I had to cut a number of scenes. Join my newsletter for access to the bonus material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and lovable

I enjoyed every minute of this story. The writing swept me off to that small Wisconsin town and now I want to grab a cup of coffee at the diner.

Dani and Paul are delightful. Their romance is sweet and charming. This is a wonderful antidote for the chaos of this year.

REVIEWED BY LINDA TONIS
MEMBER OF THE PARANORMAL ROMANCE GUILD REVIEW TEAM
Danielle “Dani” Winters was a child actress who learned the hard way that trust is not something that can be easily obtained in LA. She learned first-hand when her friend betrayed her and when her mother cared more about the money she could make than her. Now she is looking for a new beginning in New Hope, Wisconsin.

Investing everything she has, Dani purchases an old movie theater and is determined to convert it into a live dinner theater. The town is on its last leg. All around are empty stores and houses, and her hope is that her theater will breathe new life into a dying town. She is welcomed by the people who are inspired by her dreams of regenerating the town to its old glory. Jill Howell who was the owner of the theater since her dad died and who sold it to Dani is right there helping Dani fulfill her dream. Jill loves the town. If Dani is successful then everyone will benefit.

Unfortunately, there is one person not very enthusiastic about Dani’s dream and that person is Jill’s twin brother, Paul. Paul has returned home after failing in his attempt to start a career in LA writing and where his hopes were dashed by a longtime friend. He’s dejected, sees his old theater sold and feels Dani’s plan is nothing but a pipe dream. He’s convinced she will only be disappointed like him, and his first few meetings with Dani are less than kind.

Holidays, Inc. will be putting on shows at the holidays. The first one on July 4th was not as successful as she hoped, but it was a start. Paul grows to hope for Dani’s success and agrees to write the music for the Labor Day show. That show brought the town and theater to everyone’s attention and things look like they will work out the way Dani wanted–but not without some trouble thrown in.

This beautiful love story hits a roadblock when Kara Kensington, a popular actress and friend of Dani’s comes to the theater. She and Paul sing a few songs together and from that point on there are lies and betrayals and a long road to HEA. Can Dani and Paul overcome the lies, will the town survive, and will their hope for starting over be a successful one?

3.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't for me
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020
With a title of Holidays Inc and it being released in the fall, I was really expecting a Christmas story. I suppose the cover and blurb should have been the giveaway that it’s not a Christmas story, but I was still a bit disappointed. But that’s my own fault. All that said, it does end at Christmas, so there is that.

I had a really hard time reading this story. It just didn’t capture my interest, and I felt myself forcing myself to continue reading. The story was slow in building, and the romance was non-existent. In fact, the main characters never spent any quality time together, so I was confused how they fell in love. I spent so much time just scratching my head wondering when things would speed up, or the characters would quit focusing on work and find romance, or they’d get out of their pasts and look to the future. I guess what I’m saying is that none of it really worked for me.

There was promise there. I mean, I liked the small town and the concept. But the execution was more of a women’s fiction read than a romance. The characters get their happily ever after, but more time is spent with self-reflection and growth. And that is needed in a good book. But when reading a romance, I expect an actual romance to be developed, and that was lacking for me. Sure, there was an attraction, but there weren’t any dates or long, meaningful chats where they get to know each other. I felt they spent more time apart than together.

In the end, this book wasn’t for me. It just didn’t tick off the boxes of what I need in a romance to have it be an enjoyable read.

I love the theater and I love romance. This book has both in spades, complete with a small town setting and lots of fireworks between the hero and heroine. Lots of fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow Burn Holiday Book
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2021
Being a failure isn't easy. Returning home is harder.
Paul returns home to New Hope, Wisconsin after his friend burns him at work. He is quite bitter and when he sees his dad's old movie theater turned into a dinner theater, he is not too pleasant with the new owner.
Dani's poured her heart and soul into her dinner theater idea. She wants to put on shows revolving around the holidays. This is after some heartbreak of her own with the hopes that the theater will validate her. Hiring Paul to help her has its problems but she needs him, and he needs her.
Opinion
This book is about validation. Both Paul and Dani need validation for their lives which they can only give each other.
While I enjoyed the story and would recommend to friends, it was a bit slow for me. This is definitely a slow build, innocent romance. The scenes are kept PG. Weeks pass between chapters so that a lot of time has passed over the whole book. Personally, I am used to more fast paced, know every detail of the day books.
I am hoping that this book is the beginning of a series. It definitely left room for a sequel with Paul's twin sister and his best friend. We were also left hanging with the new hire at the end of the book.
This book would be ideal for a winter read in front of an open fire. It is for those folks who love Hallmark movies as well.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
