Last Christmas, Ellie and Jack had a magical snow day together, but the very next day they fell apart, never to see each other again. This year, Ellie is supporting herself by working in a coffee shop after losing her dream job, when Andrew proposes a marriage of convenience to get his inheritance. When they get up to his family's cabin he introduces his sister...and it's Jack, the woman from last year... 

The Charm Offensive was my favourite book last year, and Alison Cochrun absolutely brought it with this amazing book! Another 5 star read. 

Freaking perfection of love interests and the tension between them throughout the week, with immaculate Christmas vibes. I found the family and side characters lovely and sweet, the friendship support was also really cute. I really enjoyed how the conflicts throughout the book weren't easy to get out of with just communication - Jack starting these emotional conversations was really sweet. All the wrongs throughout could be explained and justified, so I was really rooting for the couple. 

The book is advertised as one for fans of Written in the Stars and One Day in December, which is absolutely accurate. I really enjoyed both of those books! I strongly recommend reading this one when you're ready for Christmas romances!
