Pretty Unexpected - Vlotman Arini

"Twas not the season to be jolly and everyone could fa-la-la-la-la all the way to the North Pole."

After being roped into spending Christmas with her best friends and her alluring ex, Thando finds herself questioning her holiday spirit. Sipping cocktails on the beach feels a lot more appealing than fake cheer, plastic decorations, and carols on repeat.

For Jimmy Warner, Christmas means cold beers and comfort food, but reuniting with the captivating, yet prickly, Thando ignites memories of a fiery weekend they once shared.

As their friends grapple with their own holiday disasters, Thando and Jimmy band together-supported by their sweet neighbor, Grandma Holly-to salvage the holiday while uncovering a few unexpected surprises.

Can Thando set aside her inner Grinch to open her heart again? Will Jimmy receive the Christmas miracle he's yearned for? And how many mishaps can they endure before the holidays truly explode?

Pretty Unexpected is a Christmas romance novella weaved with drama, friendship, and wrapped in a touch of holiday magic.
