I am always happy to revisit Oakley Island and will read anything Emma St Clair and Jenny Proctor out out so this novella was a no brainer for me. And once again these two marry ridiculous hijinks and endearing reality so well. They also are excellent at tension without malice. This is not enemies to lovers, so not that kind of tension, but the couple does have some payback to dish out and it felt very real to what I would experience around my family table. Justifiable and forgivable. 

Also this is set at Christmas but not overly Christmas-y. Don't limit your reading of it just to the holiday season. 

This whole series would make for excellent TV. Certain scenes especially popped off the page for me and I could imagine them on a screen. 

This is a closed door rom com novella that revisits a series, but it could be read as a standalone.
