Allie has done it again with another fun, sweet, and spicy holiday novella! She set the bar very high with 𝘗𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵, and while I am firmly Team Mike, I must say that Beckett Camdon has given him a run for his money 🥵

Beckett is delightfully grumpy, and Gemma is wonderfully tough and vulnerable. Their interactions are funny, tender, and HOT. This novella was such a fun kickoff of the Christmas season for me, and I can’t recommend it enough if you’re in need of some Christmas cheer!
