I didn’t like this as much as Kimberly’s other books, but it was still funny, sexy, and entertaining as hell. Idk what everyone is griping about in the reviews, this was good 😂

3.5

I loved J Mackenzie’s first book, The Last Dance, so I figured I would love this one just as much but I unfortunately.. did not. This was not a bad book in ANY way, I still really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. BUT it didn’t start getting good for me until maybe 50-60% in which is not ideal. The first 50% was truthfully boring and felt like nothing was happening. Despite that, I did get very attached to the characters by the end and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. 

I would also like to mention that the main character in this book is a Chinese American man and the book was written by a white woman. The author, through my also white perspective, seemed to do a good job portraying his life/struggles with having Chinese parents and being a Chinese man. BUT I don’t know that this is her story to tell if that makes sense. Please take this with a grain of salt because again I am also white and cannot speak to this very well. 

Thank you to J. Mackenzie and Gay Romance Reviews for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book almost as much as the Nightmare Before Kissmas! The chemistry and tension between them was PALPABLE i LOVED it! Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ALC! I love this narrator so much.

I do want to note a couple things i did not enjoy: 1. why did Loch’s eyelids “pulse” like 4 times? what does that mean? 2. why does Kris have tribal tattoos? that is a white man who is the son of Santa 😃 that could’ve just.. not been included. he could’ve had ANY other tattoos. they could’ve even been cringey ones! just not tribal tattoos. that’s not for u king!

note: panic attacks/anxiety rep

Ohhhh my goodness thank you so much to Nina for sending me this ARC. I LOVEDDDDD this book so much and cannot wait for the rest of the Driscoll U series 😭
The amount of love I have for Cameron and Kamila is close to the amount of hatred I have for Ana and David though <3 
The amount of depth within this book was fantastic and I cannot recommend this enough. Check trigger warnings before reading!
