“Cole hated Christmas, he hated the whole season…last night his mood changed, and now in the season he trusts. All thanks to green body paint and one flamboyant green thrust.”  

|Thoughts|
Was just so excited to pick this up and find out what all the hype was about (that candy cane scene). Feel like Quinn’s stories are hit or miss for me and whilst I enjoyed aspects of this story, I just didn’t really feel the chemistry between the FMC (Story) and MMC (Cole).  

Very strong on the enemies to lovers aspect that was hyped up and can’t say I was disappointed in the Grinch dance. The town Christmas competition was a highlight, just felt the romance fell flat. 

“Alls fair in love and jingle jangling, right?”

Loved the duet narration and the addition of a narrator, who sporadically fought with the narrator about how they portrayed events. This was unfortunately supplemented by some miscommunication that just made the romance fall a bit flat.
