I still don't understand his motivations for wanting Robyn dead-especially in such a public way. The worst part was Kyon-he was more plot device than character, which is unusual for McConnell. The timeline was hard to follow because it felt like it took place in a week when the story and dialogue were telling me it was actually three weeks. There were some missing letters and extra words-enough to be noticable, but not enough to ruin the story. The jarring notes of the book came from editing, timing, and the antagonist Kyon. I liked seeing Robyn finally comfortable in her place, but wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of her struggle over losing the position of Santa she'd been groomed for. The characters are endearing and it's so much fun to read the dialogue between Robyn and Gabe. His bother Nick is troubled and worried about finding a true home. Gabe is too busy parenting his brother to make time for love or Christmas, but is drawn to Robyn regardless. Unfortunately, she'd more attracted to the studio security guard than to any of the contestants they've selected for her. It's finally time for the eldest Kringle to find her true love-on a television game show. Not her best Kringle book, but very enjoyable
