Blurb
He’s the world’s most alpha Marine and the last man I
should be letting jingle my bells this holiday season.
So why does Clint O’Dell keep running through my thoughts wearing nothing but a Santa hat? And why do I stupidly agree that we should be Christmas friends with benefits?
Someone must have spiked my eggnog.
I don’t do Marines.
Or Santas.
I learned my lesson about both the hard way.
But when Clint steps in to rescue me—from a murderous goose, a rogue reindeer, and the ghost of Christmas Right Now causing trouble in my bakery—I can’t help but wonder if we’re meant to be more than friends.
If maybe Clint is the holiday miracle I’ve been praying for…or if all the magic will disappear with the season.
Humbugged is a laugh out loud holiday romp featuring a Marine with a heart of gold and a baker in need of a hero. Complete with the world's most awkward Christmas caroling, a photoshoot with furry friends, and more naughty baked goods than is good or decent.

Buckle up and settle in for the wackiest, most hilarious, heart-warming Christmas you'll ever spend as we return to Happy Cat, GA, with the loveable O'Dell family and their delightful, domesticated animal menagerie. The favorite younger brother, Clint, is home from the Marines for a short period, and just in time for all the family and town's festive traditions.
Noelle Alwyn, daughter of a career military father, thought she had finally settled down with her boyfriend of two years, until he leaves abruptly to seek greener pastures. After a night of self-pity and too much alcohol, Noelle wakes to find that she's purchased a piece of commercial real estate in Happy Cat. Figuring that's as good a place as any to escape her imploded life and lick her wounds, Noelle opens a cupcake bakery in her newly-acquired Happy Cat property.
Noelle is not exactly in the mood to make friends, but the O'Dell women make it all but impossible, with their gentle coaxing, open hearts and judgement-free acceptance. Despite a manic goose that seems to have a vendetta against her and a reindeer that seems love struck where she's concerned, Noelle finds herself softening. Especially when it comes to Clint O'Dell, which is bad. Very bad. Not only is he younger than her and too charming for his own good, but she's done her time with career military, so no thank you.
I can't even explain how much I adore these O'Dell brothers, but Clint? Clint takes not only the cupcake but the entire bakery. He's everybody's hero but still a regular guy, and he loves his family, both the one he was born into as well as his brothers in arms. But as much as he loves the O'Dells and the Marines, he loves Noelle more, and with that huge of a heart on a hunk of a mortal man, just stick a fork in me. I’m done. I'm Team Clint all the way, and both he and Noelle own my heart!
It wouldn’t be Happy Cat without the quirky, charming residents or outrageous critter antics, and this writing team doesn’t disappoint with plenty of zany, hilarious shenanigans. With book world's favorite masked bandit family (the raccoons here take offense to the term “trash panda" because they eat from bowls and plates, TYVM), llamas we all love and a couple of new additions, it’s never a dull moment, although the humans certainly give them a run for their money.
You’ll spew your drink and laugh out loud. You'll “aww" and “squee!” because, O'Dell babies! Your Kindle will get too hot to handle from the steam on the pages and your heart will be squeezed in the best of ways, leaving you with a big, goofy, satisfied grin. Grab your copy today, because this will be one of your very best reading experiences, and it is unforgettable!
