Publisher's summary

Ruben Palmer is on every woman’s Christmas wish list. Except mine.

I grew up with him and bested him in practically everything we did together–debate, grades, mini-golf, you name it. So I’ve built an immunity to his boy-next-door charm. Sure, sometimes I might accidentally type his name into my search engine, but his dimples, hotel empire and thirst-trap photos don’t tempt me. I’ve got my sights set on earning my way to the top of the Palmer Hotel empire, and nothing is going to get in my way.

Until my step-sister leaves her secret toddler with me before skipping town for three months. Now suddenly everyone thinks he’s mine, and instead of powering my way to the top, I’m struggling to not get fired. And instead of Ruben staying on the executive floor where he belongs, he’s invading my apartment, breaking dates with starlets, and looking disappointed that I decided to settle down with anyone except him.

But I know Ruben, and Ruben doesn’t settle down. So there's no way I’m giving him my heart. Not even for Christmas.

**One Small Secret is inspired by the classic films Bachelor Mother and Bundle of Joy, and is part of the Gift-Wrapped Romance series. All five cozy Christmas novels can be listened to in any order.

I love everything Esther Hatch writes!

I love everything Esther Hatch writes: her sense of humor, and her ability to describe the kiss. It's a fun book.

I couldn't stop smiling through this whole book. I read it the day it came out and was thrilled to discover it as an audiobook. sweet swoony romance with a hint of Christmas charm, with the tropes I love without being predictable. definitely recommend!

Charming and hot!

I am loving this series, and this book is no exception. Esther Hatch’s Regency romances are among my favorites, and I always knew she’d do well with the contemporary genre. I just didn’t realize how well! Wooo, this one is hot! I love that this book delivers on the romance, and there is some heat, but it’s still a closed-door, clean romance. I also love that we don’t have miscommunication, or endless pining. The characters have conversations with one another and solve their problems together, and I loved that. Would I be sad to see a continuation with Moira’s story? No, no I would not.
Anyway, if you want a stellar Christmas romance, where the door stays closed but you get heat and excitement, and it’s a shorter, quick read, then pick this one.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Noah Wall is one of my favorite narration voices, and, per usual, she rocked this one.
