This was a Hallmark movie in book form. A grumpy and ambitious New Yorker goes back to his small hometown to buy out his ex's crumbling family farm but ends up falling back in love with her and helping her save it instead. Cheesy but really cute and well-written.
Spice level 2-3. There are several mentions of sex happening but no really graphic depictions.

Have I mentioned recently how much I freaking LOVE Claire Kingsley books? Her characters are so real and relatable, and she does dual POV ridiculously well. I loved Isabelle’s fire and determination, and even Elias’s dedication to being a Scrooge, LOL! And Maddie! So. Freaking. Cute. There really is a lot to love about this Small Town Christmas Romance! You don’t even have to have read The Bailey Brothers series to enjoy it, but highly suggest you do all the same!
Moderate: Miscarriage, Sexual content, Abandonment, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Death of parent
