Gasp the cover for this is just the cutest thing ever! SO I was excited to dive in- and the premise is just so fun and creative. I mean the title?! The whole synopsis- it seems like The Santa Clause meets a Hallmark movie, but with spice. Sold.

And this story definitely had quite a few cute adorable moments. The interesting fated mate aspect, Santa's son and the unexpected elf- and lots of attraction. At times, though, it felt like a lot of telling vs. showing- more instalust, never quite enemies vibes, more spice driven than emotion connection. Which is just what you want in a fun Christmas novella-y story. So it definitely has the best vibes and cute moments and tons of Christmasy flair. I think I also would have enjoyed the writing style a bit more in the audio format- this would be super fun on audio.
