Welcome back to Winter Bliss and Perchaz Brother No.2. While Rom gets his HEA, it's time for the misfit to...get arrested?
Bell weaves a slightly more convoluted version of the classic Hallmark woman-returns-to-small-town-to-find-old-crush-burly-and-running-a-christmas-tree-farm. Hers just might also involve a runaway demon horse, an ornery probation officer, and a gifted shower head. But don't worry, it all ties together perfectly in the end. After all, I said this was a Hallmark movie with demons, right?
In all seriousness, character development is spot on for both the main characters and they are just the right amount of predictable. Shower scene is 🥵 and well worth the mid book slow burn. I also appreciate the curvy characters in their 30s vs the skinny "perfect" 20-somethings so many romances are about. This story is also about re-finding your "fire" for yourself instead of settling for someone else's.
All around perfectly funny and cozy holiday read... with demons!
