This was my first book by this author, and given that it is just over 200 pages long, I'm leaning towards rating this as i would any novella I read. I rate novellas out of a total of 3 stars, and on that scale, this falls at a 2, which is the higher end and feels right for what this story is. However, if I rate this on the usual 1-5 scale, it doesn't make my usual 3 star mark, and a 2 feels too low. So rating it as a novella it is. 

This is a very cutesy and sweet low to no angst best friends Brothers romance. It gave Hallmark vibes but with a dash of spice, and i found it an easy and entertaining read. However, I wouldn't necessarily class this as a Christmas romance. It is more a romance with some Christmas in it, and there is a difference. 😂 It was my first book by this author and the second one of this series recently released so I will give that a go at some point over the festive season too as I like to try more than one book by an author before I decide if I gel with their writing style or not. 🌶🌶
