Mission: Merry Christmas: A Christmas Novella Kindle Edition
Sports therapist Avery Troupe just got some bad news that’s left her jobless and homeless just weeks before Christmas. Taking a temporary assignment with an athlete who's hiding away in the Caribbean for the holidays who has fired his last four aids might be just the answer to her problems. Sunshine, sandy beaches, and crystal blue water sounds like the perfect way to spend the holiday this year.
Drew Laskin is secretly on the mend in his island home following an injury doing something forbidden in his contract. The only thing worse than the pain is the guilt he’s feeling at having to cancel taking his nephew to see snow for the first time this Christmas.
Promising to keep Drew's secret, Avery gets the bah-humbugging baseball star focused on an aggressive three-week plan to get him ready for training. By New Year's they won't ever have to set eyes on each other again. Only there's an unexpected blizzard of Christmas magic about to change everything.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a charming Christmas novella that will get you in the spirit. Who would have thought there could be snow and cold weather in the Caribbean. Avery is a sports therapist that just lost her job and apartment right before Christmas. She decides to help out her sister for three weeks with an injured athlete. Bright sunshine, blue waters, an grumpy athlete and an adorable little boy make for a heartwarming story.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseCute, clean story. Nice to see the character development. I liked the 'star' and kid interactions. The two leads showed initiative and no small amount of creativity at the end. I liked their ideas.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2025Format: KindleVerified Purchase"Mission: Merry Christmas" by Nancy Naigle was a sweet Christmas read. Avery recently got fired from her job and doesn't want to let her parents know just yet. Drew, an injured baseball player, has gone through some physical therapists because of his poor attitude, but Avery is determined to get him in the shape he needs to be in before the season starts. She also wants to get him in the Christmas spirit because she absolutely loves the Christmas season, and so does Drew's nephew, Nico. I have two absolute favorite scenes, and they were when she went outside and saw the scenery, and when Drew and Nico built the fort. Nancy does such a wonderful job describing things, and I felt like I was right there with Avery and looking at the view.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed Mission: Merry Christmas: A Christmas Novella. Strong female sports therapist who developed a perfect program for athletes is wronged by her boss. She doesn't want to tell her folks quite yet so she helps her sister out by taking a job with a grumpy and injured guy who's gone through too many helpers. She travels to an island destination and ends up having a wonderful experience. Love the sweet nephew Nico! Fans of romantic comedies will enjoy Mission: Merry Christmas.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLoved this story. I wish it would have been a whole book instead of just a novella. It was very engaging and I didn’t want it to end. I really wanted to know more about the characters and what happens next!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI like a book that makes you want to stay up all night reading. This was that kind of book. It left me wanting more, and maybe a little more drama. But overall a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseNancy wrote an amazing book. It was how a lady worked for a sports agency and brought them to the top doing therapy. The boss let her go, and he got the benefits from her hard work. Well, her sister got her a job on this island with this ball player, and they hit it off after a bit. A great bo9k to get to read and see how it ends,
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a sweet, quick read that was delightful, fun and swoony. I liked the storyline and the characters. Perfect holiday read.
