Publisher's Summary
2014 American Christian Fiction Writers' Genesis Award Finalist in the Novella Category
Writing happy endings is easy. Living one is the hard part.
Georgia Cole - known in Hollywood as the "Holiday Goddess" - has made a name for herself writing heartwarming screenplays chock-full of Christmas clichés, but she has yet to experience the true magic of the season. So, when her eccentric grandmother volunteers her to direct a pageant at Georgia's hometown community theater, she is less than thrilled. To make matters worse, she'll be working alongside Weston James, her childhood crush and the one man she has tried desperately to forget.
Now, facing memories of a lonely childhood and the humiliation of her last onstage performance, seven years earlier, Georgia is on the verge of a complete mistletoe meltdown. As Weston attempts to thaw the frozen walls around her heart, Georgia endeavors to let go of her fears and give love a second chance. If she does, will she finally believe that Christmas can be more than a cliché?

Great plot and not overly religious!
I loved this book. The characters and plot were well developed. I loved the sweetness of the story and appreciate that while God/church was present, it didn't define the novel. Great read.

4.5 Stars!
I don't go seeking holiday romances, but I've read a few holiday-themed stories this season and this one ranks with those at the top. Sad to say, there haven't been many.
A Cliché Christmas was a sweet romance, but not without its overall snark, a frustrated heroine with repressed romantic longings, a hero that pushed her buttons, and a grandmother with underhanded if not well-intentioned romantic machinations. As opposed to its title, it did not have that too-nice Hallmark movie feel where I'd roll my eyes at the cliches. Thank goodness for that. Weston and Georgia had a second chance romance that had to first heal some past wounds. All accomplished with some fun playfulness and a swoon-worthy hero. As a book in the Christian market, it had a nice amount of faith elements. It had felt like it was thrown in at the end, but I still liked its presentation.
