AJ Merlin is always going to be an instant read for me, so I was super excited for this Christmas themed novella. Add in a dash of taboo and I was watching my calendar waiting for this release! We've got lots of fun holiday themes - such as a small town feel and getting snowed in, but balanced with some darker elements and an enemies to lovers vibe.

Though the FMC was a bit clueless, I still found myself enjoying this one. However, I found this a really slow burn for such a short book. I would have loved to see a little more action earlier in the story (wink wink) - but overall, I enjoyed this one!
