A recent graduate of UCLA, Molly McAlister has just landed her first job and loves it.
The problem is her demanding boss, who seems to think he’s in charge of her free time too. Under threat of layoff, her boss manipulates her into giving up Christmas with her family in Florida to pet-sit his two beloved purebred poodles.
When Molly arrives at his house in Santa Monica a few days before Christmas, she learns she must also watch two ill-tempered Rottweilers, Darth and Vader, who scare her to death. His hypercritical wife seems to think Molly is a maid too, and leaves her a long list of chores and rules. Molly’s expecting to have a miserable Christmas, but things start to look up when she meets the boy next door and his family. Unfortunately, they’re embroiled in a neighborhood feud with her boss.
MY REVIEW:
I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING BY JUDY MOORE AND I AM SO GLAD I DID. I REALLY LOVED AND ENJOYED THE HOLIDAY HOUSE SITTER. IT IS THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS READ. I LOVED THE CHARACTERS THE STORY FELT SO REAL AND THE CHARACTERS WERE SO FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING. I LOVE MOLLY WHO GOES OUT OF THE WAY TO PLEASE HER BOSS BY DOG SITTING AT CHRISTMAS. HE IS BLACKMAILING HER BY PUTTING HER JOB ON THE LINE. MOLLY IS GOING TO MISS CHRISTMAS WITH HER FAMILY BECAUSE OF HIM. AND TO TOP IT OFF, HE VOLUNTEERS HER FOR OTHER JOBS. HE IS A REAL JERK.
MOLLY REALLY LOVES ANIMALS AND HER JOB BUT DIDN'T COUNT ON WATCHING TWO ILL-TEMPERED ROTTWEILERS. I DON'T BLAME HER FOR BEING SCARED AT ALL. I WOULD HAVE REFUSED REGARDLESS IF I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY JOB. THE DOG SITTING LEADS HER TO MEETING THE BOY NEXT DOOR AND HIS FAMILY. WILL MOLLY FIND ROMANCE? WILL SHE HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL?
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ENTERTAINING AND FUN CHRISTMAS READ, I RECOMMEND YOU READ THE HOLIDAY HOUSE SITTER. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS BY JUDY MOORE. I LOVE HER WRITING. 5 STARS
