Finance genius Meredith Klaus prefers numbers to people, especially around the holidays. At least the large sum of money that's mysteriously vanished from the company accounts will distract her from the ghosts of Christmases past. Until her sexy boss asks her to be his last-minute date to a fundraiser gala, that is, and the promise of a special evening calls to something long-buried in her. Andrew Stanton, Manhattan's best-known philanthropist, has worked hard building his reputation in the industry. He offers to work closely with Meredith to fix his company's financial crisis, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to look at her as just a colleague. A beautiful dress. A handsome man on her arm. A challenge she can't refuse. Can they find the missing money and fulfill their holiday wishes, or will Meredith be unable to overcome the demons of her past and lose her chance at happiness?

Meredith Klaus is thirty-one years old, klutzy, socially awkward and she's in lust with her boss, Andrew Stanton. A problem with missing funds for the Christmas bonus is the perfect excuse for Andrew to work closely with her for the week leading up to the gala. In that short period of time, he learns a few things about his shy CFO.
“Hasn't anyone ever done something for you just because you're a human being? You know, simple kindness?"
He had meant it to be flippant, but the answering look in her eyes said everything.
No.
Andrew and Meredith made a really cute couple. I liked that her intelligence was what drew his attention. Yes, her other assets didn't go unnoticed because he was a man after all, but I felt there was more emphasis on less superficial attributes. As far as CEOs go, he was probably the kindest one I've read about so far this year. He wasn't an entitled, nor was he arrogant. The one love scene was both awkward and sweet and set Meredith up to finally break out of her shell.
This story felt much longer than a standard novella, and I was surprised by the amount of information the author managed to pack into this little story. The character arc of the heroine was executed quite well, even if I didn't quite understand how she managed to never let anyone get close enough to remain a virgin. Regardless, it was refreshing to see the heroine contemplate her life and take the reins without someone telling her that she needed to change if she wanted to be happy.
The ending felt a little rushed, and I think this story would have worked without the mystery of the missing funds, the quick resolution and the fact that Andrew picked her to run his second company after having had her in his employ for only “a couple of months”.
If you're looking for a Cinderella type of story set around Christmas with likeable characters and a splash of humor, then pick this one up. I would read this again just for the fun of it.
