Synopsis (Goodreads):

A Christmas-loving dragon + an overworked retail assistant who hates the holidays + five days to win his mate's heart before a curse destroys his life = a Christmas clash with a heart-warming happy ever after.

Jasper Heartwell needs to find a mate before Christmas.

Jasper is a dragon on a mission. If he doesn’t find his mate by his twenty-fifth birthday, he’ll lose his ability to shift, and be stuck as either a human or a dragon forever. Luckily, his birthday is on Christmas Day. What woman could resist the spark of romance during the most wonderful time of the year?

Abigail George hates Christmas.

Most wonderful time of the year? Curvy Abigail learned long ago what a lie that is. She hates the fake snow, the cheesy carols, the hordes of shoppers that save their Christmas cheer for everyone except shop workers—and most of all, she hates going home to her empty apartment on Christmas Eve.

Jasper knows Abigail’s the one for him the moment he sees her. But can the Christmas dragon win his mate’s heart, when Christmas is the one thing she hates the most?

Thoughts on A Mate for the Christmas Dragon: A dragon shifter who's on the brink of losing his dragon (or losing the man to the dragon) unless he meets and mates his special someone before his 25th birthday is already tickling my fancy. Throw in the fact that's he's kind of in love with Christmas and his family lives in a town that basically vomits Christmas cheer AND his special someone is NOT a fan of the season and I'm ALL IN.

Yup. Jasper and Abigail worked for me. Sure, she's got a chip on her shoulder about the holiday, but Jasper does his level best to give her what she needs (which is to ignore the holiday, basically) while still finding delight in the season.

As for Abigail, her sure-fire holiday plan is to work herself to exhaustion so she can zombie-walk her way through everything going on around her. She didn't factor Jasper into her plan. Or his birthday deadline. Or even know that shapeshifters were real and living right under her nose. As you can imagine, things get a little hectic for a while.

Dragons, a grinch-y heroine, snow, and a sweet wooing on a tight timeframe. *thumbs up*
