I meant to read this series when it started under the Zoe Chant collective, but then forgot about it, and am finally circling back now that the later books are coming out. (Disclaimer about the author being a friend.)

This was cute! It's not as conflict-driven as a lot of Esker's books other books (which tend to have more shoot outs and fights involving one or more dragon), more a novella setting up the premise for the rest of the books. I liked the hedgehog main character and her mom, and the setting was a lot of fun. The romance felt a little cursory, but I don't think it was meant to be a big huge thing. If you're looking for a super light romance that's mostly holiday fluff (that holiday being Valentine's Day), this is a nice one.

On to the rest of the series!
