Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 HPM and SBR are six types of responses that can be used to break the ice and start conversations with anyone. They are helpful because they can help you find topics to talk about and respond to people. #2 HPM stands for History, Philosophy, and Metaphor. It involves your personal experience regarding a topic, your personal stance, take, or opinion on a specific topic, or what the conversation topic reminds you of. #3 SBR stands for Specific, Broad, and Related. To any statement or question directed to you, you can reply with one of these types of statements. Specific involves asking targeted questions regarding the topic you’re talking about. Broad means you ask broad questions about the topic. #4 The EDR is the last part of the nine frameworks that you can use to answer just about anything. It straddles HPM and SBR – you can use what’s in front of you, but it’s even better if you draw internally and speak about your own thoughts and opinions.

It’s a picture-perfect holiday—you just have to choose who’s in the frame… Jason Hamilton is on thin ice with the board of his toy company. The young CEO may be a kid at heart, but his party boy reputation requires damage control. So Jason's off to Kismet to inspect a model store, stay on Santa's Nice list, and stick to business—no goofing around. Which is too bad, because the store manager, Danielle Sharpe, is the definition of what makes Naughty fun… Danielle is thrilled to show off her thriving little toy store—especially if it's her ticket out of Kismet. The single mom is tired of manufacturing cheer solo while her ex-husband has all the fun. But if she'd known Jason was this hot, she wouldn't have offered to host him. With Jason in her house, Danielle is getting warmer than spiked cider. She's supposed to impress him with her expertise, not daydream about catching him under the mistletoe. Now whatever she does, she can't get swept up in the magic… From the Author This book is part of the Kismet Christmas series, which includes...

If Sam has his way, Holly will have a sizzling new romance by Christmastime... Christmas Honeymoon Some women would consider it the perfect Christmas gift: an all-expenses-paid Vegas honeymoon. But Stacy Ames isn't some women. Actually, she's supposed to be posing as her cousin Janie. Too bad Stacy's faux hubby turns out to be her infuriatingly sexy ex, Dylan. Fortunately, mistletoe and free champagne have a way of turning "too bad" into very, very good... A Baby for Christmas Kahlúa, coffee, and sympathy—it's amazing the trouble they can get a girl into. Chloe Carmichal was only trying to help her best pal (and secret crush), Nick, drown his sorrows. She never expected they'd end up having a hot-and-heavy tryst that Nick's hangover would make him forget, but that Chloe will always remember...since she'll have his baby as a Christmas memento...
