Synopsis (Goodreads):

Ethan

I’ve got my hands full.

Running for mayor of my home town in Colorado. Trying to save the family business—and doing my best to survive Christmas without murdering my brother. Nowhere on this list is room for Lexie to show up a year after our epic one-night stand.

Vegas show girl, owner of the meanest dog I’ve ever met, and the star of every fantasy I’ve had since I came home. And apparently… my wife? And she wants me to sign divorce papers.

Hell no.

Lexie

I do not get drunk married. That’s what tourists do in Vegas, not locals. But even I am susceptible to gorgeous eyes and an excellent jaw line.

I was so sure Ethan was different from the jerks I usually fall for, until I woke up married without a groom or a way to get a hold of him. A year later, I finally see him splashed all over the internet—fighting with his brother at a Colorado airport.

So, what’s a showgirl to do? Put on my best heels, put my dog in a hand bag and go find my husband so I can end my sham marriage. But as soon as I arrive in Salt Springs, that plan goes out the window.

Ethan hasn’t forgotten me and the chemistry between us is real and explosive.

Now that I’ve found him he doesn’t want to let me go.

Was our wedding a Vegas mistake? Or a Christmas miracle?

Thoughts on Very Merry Married: Ethan, who got drunkenly married in Vegas a year ago and doesn't remember it AT ALL, is the next Kringle to fall and...maybe he was the first, actually. He just didn't know he was the first thanks to tequila.

Anywho. Thanks to Ethan throwing fists at his famous brother at the airport, Lexie is finally able to track her wayward husband down (there was A LOT of tequila, okay, and names sort of got lost in that tequila haze) so she could serve him divorce papers. Imagine his surprise when he finds out he's married. Now imagine Lexie's surprise when she realizes he isn't the inconsiderate jerk she's spent the last year thinking he was.

Now imagine that Lexie's personality is a perfect fit for the Kringle Inn and she has a quick mind and a lot of ideas and Ethan's kind of smitten with her even before he remembers everything that happened that fateful night in Vegas.

A pageant, some gossip, a sassy pup, a man who wants to figure out how well he fits with his new lady, and a lady who has never forgotten the man who rocked her world last Christmas. *thumbs up*
