Synopsis (Goodreads):
Welcome to Christmas Grove, the town full of love, magic, and holiday miracles.

Ilsa McKenzie has only ever loved one man. But eleven months ago, he walked out of her life, leaving her heartbroken and her life changed forever. After leaving the magical town of Christmas Grove to regroup and get her life in order, Ilsa’s back, ready to face her past and start her future with or without him. There’s only one question. Will Zach want to be a part of her life or will he run again?

Zach Frost doesn’t love easily. He’s loved and lost before. All he’s ever wanted was to run his Christmas tree farm and start a family. And once Ilsa arrives in town, it seems he’s on the verge of making his dreams come true. But his past is complicated and it’s about to catch up with him. Can he make peace with his mistakes or will he let history repeat itself and lose his chance with the one woman who can make him feel whole?
Thoughts on A Witch for Mr. Christmas: It's Ilsa and Zach's turn to find their happy place and...well, Zach has a lot of making up to do after dropping Ilsa like a hot rock and letting things slide for eleven months. A LOT of making up.

More than that, though, he has to come to terms with the time he lost with someone special. All because his complicated past reared up and he pushed aside the blossoming relationship between him and Ilsa to deal with it. And then he didn't make ANY effort to reconnect with the lady who rocked his world. So, really, everything that happened is his fault and, again, A LOT of making up.

As for Ilsa, she's rallied and fortified her heart after Zach's sudden emotional turnaround the year before. She has things happening in her life and chasing after Zach when he's basically turned her back on her isn't her main priority. While she's fully aware she's going to have to face him and their past when she makes the choice to return to Christmas Grove, she's put up enough walls around her heart that she's (fairly) sure she can handle it.

Turns out neither of them can. Because they still have chemistry. Smoking hot chemistry.

Quirk, the holidays, two people figuring out how to make things work when life throws up continuous roadblocks, and a little magic. I'm enjoying this town and all the wacky inhabitants.
