She's busy managing the running team for the holiday 5K and doesn't have time for a guy who's extra hairy, but he's determined to make up for a past she would rather not remember.

After a traumatic event, Melissa takes charge of her life. She's no longer a fragile, gullible girl. She's a black belt and has amazing friends, including one BFF she would love to get out of the friend zone with.

Just when she plans to confess her feelings to her BFF, Josh asks Melissa out on a date. He's a long-time family friend, a man she never considered crushing on and even went out of her way to avoid -- because something about Josh makes Melissa uncomfortable.

She can't decide if it's his outrageous beard, all the extra arm fuzz, or if he's just another reminder of a past she's trying to forget. Though Josh clearly has a thing for Melissa, something about him triggers her. Never mind that he's as furry as a bear and definitely not a turn on.

All Melissa knows is she would rather stroke a pinecone than kiss Josh Thompson with all that scruff.

I'd Rather Stroke a Pinecone Than Kiss You is a small-town Christmas romance in the Reindeer Run series, which can be read in any order! If you like a take-charge heroine, a fuzzy-bear-type guy, and loads of holiday fun, then you'll love this book by Evangeline Everton and E.E. Everly.
