Synopsis (Goodreads):
When an alien comes to Earth during the holidays with a list, personal shopper Caroline is tasked to help him find everything he wants…but what he wants is a bride.

Caroline isn’t a Scrooge, but the weeks leading to Christmas are not her favorite. The personal shopping department where she works is insanely busy and the clients have crazy requests. Plus, this is her first holiday being single after a bad breakup. When her last appointment of the day is a gorgeous, blue-skinned alien, she isn’t too surprised. After all, everyone knows that aliens are real since a species of interstellar warriors revealed themselves and the fact that they’d been defending Earth for decades.

What does startle Caroline is that Griff isn’t looking for unique Christmas presents. He’s on Earth to find a mate.

Although she reluctantly agrees to help him, finding a bride for an alien isn’t as easy as it might seem, especially when word gets out that the hottie is on the market. Between the alien-obsessed women swiping right on his new dating profiles and the paparazzi dogging them, Griff is no closer to finding a bride. He is much closer to his personal shopper, though. If only she didn’t think loyal guys were as much of a fantasy as flying reindeer.

Can Griff melt the ice in Caroline’s heart and convince her that good things do come in big, blue packages?
Thoughts on Christmas with an Alien: I must admit that I have a deep weakness for a powerful, well-adjusted alien FALLING APART when faced with a human lady. And as much as they might try to deny their feelings, they are smitten. So hard. It's glorious.

With this book, we have Caroline and Griff. She's dealing with some things and not loving the Christmas season this time around. The hunky blue alien who shows up and expects her to find him a mate is just...too much. But circumstances find her forced into helping him and it turns out spending time with the clueless-about-humans Griff isn't all that much of a hardship.

On Griff's end, he's on a tight deadline to find his special someone and basically has to follow Caroline's lead since he knows NOTHING about human women. As it turns out, the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself liking the slightly grumpy lady with the bruised heart. An unfortunate date with a potential mate only highlights that he might have already found his special someone, Caroline just doesn't seem like she's interested.

Good thing Caroline has solid friends (and neighbors) to help her out and Griff has someone who's willing to impart some hard earned knowledge about human women. The road might have been a little bumpy, but these two got where they needed to be! *thumbs up*
