Wow this was shockingly good. And spicy as hell!!!

At the start of the book I knew it would be fantastic bc the epigraph was “Yes I am Daddy - Graham Simpkins, The Holiday.” A stellar start. 

Great quotes: 
“You’re a sexy narcoleptic flower just waiting to blossom.” 

“If I’d made myself uncomfortable for him, for my parents, for my old agent, then why couldn’t I make myself uncomfortable for /myself/? For something I wanted to do?”

Started off strong and the second half was up and down w/ keeping my attention. I laughed out loud a few times though!

*3.75* this rating for me is actually so tragic because in part 1 I was fully ready to give this a 5⭐️. Celebrity romance between Winnie and Kallum on the set of the spicy Christmas movie they’re filming. New adventure for Winnie who’s never had an orgasm and Kallum who’s sex tape just dropped. Anyways the chemistry between these two is fire and literally part one is so good. But part two took me way out of it. *SPOILERS* this was my first accidental pregnancy book and oof not a fan of this trope. And there was so much miscommunication it drove me crazy. Hated watching Winnie and Kallums relationship disintegrate but oh well there’s a HEA. This book gets hella bonus points though for making me laugh out loud throughout the whole part one.

I really read this book for the spice, which it had a decent amount of! I really lost interest after the pregnancy though, really not a fan of the surprise pregnancy trope. Also, I didn’t like that they broke up and got back together twice, it seemed unnecessary. Overall a decent read though!

This was agressively smutty but also somehow still quite sweet and romantic??
