Loved it. However, the animosity and fighting between Noel & Amber felt so cringe to me as they are both grown women. Apart from that, it was a good book!

Nick & Noel were both such well rounded characters & their relationship is so cute. When I started this book, I wasn't sure about it, it seemed to have some stuff that was out of place but then after getting to know the characters better, everything felt better placed. It was the perfect amount of Christmas, romance & spice! Can't wait to read the rest of them!

Like a Hallmark Christmas movie in book form (we’ll, with slightly more spice).

🎄 Epilogue
🚩 Toxic masculinity & sexism in characters’ speech & thoughts towards each other. Writing normalises men being shamed as ‘effeminate’ & ‘enuch’, women as ‘ho’, ‘bitch’, and slut-shamed.
🚩 Little growth in characters surrounding sexist & toxic remarks
🚩 Moderate typos
