“𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯?”
“𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺.”

If you’re looking for a sweet and spicy novella to get you into the Valentine’s Day mood, this one is sure to deliver. Adam and Cora are absolutely adorable and hot together, and I thoroughly enjoyed their nemeses to lovers journey. Adam has clearly been yearning for quite some time, and Cora is blissfully unaware…until she isn’t. Even after things heat up between them, there’s still some delicious angst to be had as Adam proves to Cora it’s always been her. 

The whole town of Heartsong was so quaint and quirky, and Cora’s band of friends is an absolute delight as well. I can’t wait to see more of them in the next Heartsong holiday Hannah and Allie have planned!
