Really cute Christmas romance but I was surprised how the heroine was an emotional wreck until we learned of her previous relationship. Will is wonderful and loved the narrators since I listened to the audiobook.

5.0

Even though I don’t read harlequin romances with this being my first one ever it really hit with the feelings of the two main characters with the same struggle of love vs career. 

Even though the pacing was  to fast for my liking. I still enjoyed the novel and the last few chapters made this a 5 star read than a four star read.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
Was busy with English work so I was tired and don’t want to finish the book I’d probably read it when I’m not busy

If I had a nickel for every time that a Victoria Holt novel ended with a crazy woman being the main culprit/cause of the mystery and dying right after the reveal. I would have two nickels which is weird when you think about it.
