The Vibe

Atlas "Max" Maxheimer has enough on his plate trying to keep his family's Christmas tree farm afloat without a cheerful newcomer appearing next door to open a competing business. Betty is everything Max is not, from her infectious holiday spirit to her willingness to embrace the Christmas madness of Kringletown.

Naturally, the rivalry between them is anything but peaceful. Their competing goals lead to escalating antics, public spectacles, and plenty of opportunities for Max and Betty to get under each other's skin.

Beneath the comedy and holiday mayhem is a romance packed with chemistry. Their opposing personalities create an irresistible push and pull, while the snowy Colorado setting and Christmas-obsessed community provide the perfect backdrop for a festive love story.

For readers who love small-town holiday romances with enemies-to-lovers energy, ridiculous Christmas shenanigans, and plenty of heat, Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal is a merry, messy, and thoroughly entertaining seasonal read.
