Loved the idea of this – very Hallmark (i.e. suspend your disbelief & get ready for cheesy with a side of cheese), but 'tis the season, right?! Teddy and Ivy made for a cute couple, and the plot was cute, but I don't feel much more than lukewarm about it.

This is a full length novel, but it's paced/rushed like a novella. If you're not into insta-love, pass on this one. (After knowing him a few days, she agrees to spend 2 weeks with him in his isolated home town, and after knowing her not even a month he

proposes, and she says yes.

Can't get much more insta-love than that.) There was also a LOT of "she's my girl" and "mine" and general possessive language which I usually don't mind, but in this case it was so frequent that it kind of felt like a kid experimenting with swearing for the first time, just throwing it in wherever it could possibly fit.

Overall a cute read if you're in the mood, just didn't totally hit the mark for me.
