Book Review | All Wrapped Up in You | Rosie Danan

All Wrapped Up in You (Home Sweet Holidays #3) by Rosie Danan

Holiday magic helps two oblivious neighbors discover just how close they are in bestselling author Rosie Danan’s cheerful short story about big comedy, small tragedies, and the gifts found in between.

When stand-up comedian Piper has a panic attack outside the club, it’s not funny. But Scott, a handsome ER doctor from the crowd, gives her something to smile about as he calms her down. Turns out they’re neighbors—they just don’t know it yet. When Christmas Eve presents an opportunity for them to get even closer, Scott and Piper realize they share much more than just a wall.

Rosie Danan’s All Wrapped Up in You is part of Home Sweet Holidays, a cookie-sweet collection of holiday romances sure to bring color to your cheeks. Read or listen to each story in a single heart-fluttering sitting. And to fully immerse yourself in the charm of the season, don’t miss a special message from each of our holiday heroes!

Tyler said he would do his best. McGinn wished him luck.
Shabana Mukhtar: I tend to write dialogues instead of narration, Lee converts conversation into narration. And it works.

51%
Tyler sat for a long moment, battered by the airbags, bruised by the seat belt, deafened by the impact, sickened by the violent motion.
Shabana Mukhtar: This is where I forgot to breathe. Stories have that effect on me. I felt as if it was happening to me.

60%
We expect the same of visitors to our country.
Shabana Mukhtar: That guy was US Embassy attache and he called Russia “our country”. Is the atmosphere really so fearful there? Yikes!
