Goodreads Synopsis: 

He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge.

Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future.

Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected.

With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection?

Filled with magic, mayhem, and cozy holiday charm

Review: 

This was such a feel-good, fun, and charming holiday romance. Harriet is struggling through the Christmas season when she’s unexpectedly visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past - Nolan. She’s not convinced she qualifies as a Scrooge, and Nolan himself is unsure why Harriet has been assigned to him, making this holiday mission a mystery for them both. As they work through Harriet’s loneliness and Nolan’s uncertainty, a genuine connection begins to form, and feelings slowly bloom between them.

The story is so cozy, with a holiday atmosphere that feels warm and comforting from start to finish. The reimagining of the Ghost of Christmas Past was especially well done, adding a fresh, magical twist to a familiar concept. It’s impossible not to fall for both Harriet and Nolan; their chemistry is delightful, the banter is spot-on, and the magical whimsy adds the perfect finishing touch.

The vibes were immaculate, the romance was charming, and this was the perfect festive read to curl up with during the holidays.
