Noel and Christian meet up again after being apart. Christmas brings them both back to town and as they rebuild their friendship, they start to wonder if it can be more.
The backdrop of Christmas and friends becoming lovers is something I usually enjoy. I liked the family dynamics and the holiday activities. I like the idea of Noel and Christian trying to rebuild a friendship, although the reason they needed to left me a bit put off. This story had a good amount of emotional journey for the characters, but I didn't really feel the emotion completely. Noel rebuilding was a good bit that gave layers to her character and Christian's past with his father was a good bit for him too. But I don't know if I felt it. I also wasn't too sure on their chemistry; that stumbled a bit for me. But it was good for what it was.
