This tropey Christmas romance was short, sweet and sexy!
Despite being a novella I was pleasantly surprised by how much backstory and worldbuilding was included. It didn't overtake the narrative but the backdrop of competitive ice dancing and the inclusion of Sam's family both contributed to a well rounded story. It helped drag out some tension until the couple got together which I appreciated.
The romance itself was cute - best friends to lovers isn't a trope I read a lot but I liked how it was portrayed here. I would have liked a bit more development in Sam's realisation but within such a limited page count I was still happy enough with how it panned out. The back and forth with doubting things got a bit repetitive too. Their chemistry was great and I appreciated the depiction of normal bodies throughout.
I really enjoyed this little story and look forward to reading about Sam's brother Henry in the next instalment.

"What if he liked someone else and was afraid to tell me? Even though the thought of him and another guy was a punch right in the balls, he was my best friend. I loved him. I couldn’t let him be afraid."
