DNF
Three stars for a DNF would be surprising but there's actually nothing wrong with the book, I just am unable to vibe with it... it's just not my cup of tea, even though I REALLY REALLY wanted it to be... like when you know that continental food is amazing to millions of people but it's just not for you... like you wouldn't say it sucked or had nothing good to offer... it's just that you personally have a very different preference for your food
PS: As a bigger girl myself, plus size stories tend to just be triggering for me so maybe that could be a factor for why I couldn't enjoy the book as much as I would've wanted to

It's an ok romantic comedy but not the best one I've ever read. Pretty raunchy humor. Very sex positive.

The holiday season brings with it a special kind of magic, one that is perfectly captured in the heartwarming tales of Christmas romance. These stories, set against the backdrop of snowy landscapes and twinkling lights, remind us of the joy and warmth that come with the festive period. They weave together themes of love, hope, and the spirit of giving, creating an enchanting narrative that resonates with the cheer of the season. As characters find love and happiness, readers are transported into a world where the holiday miracles might just be real, and the festive season is about more than just presents and decorations—it's about the connections we forge and the love we share. A wonderful Christmas romance is not just a story; it's an experience that fills the heart with the festive spirit and the belief that love can triumph overall. So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up by the fire, and let yourself be swept away by the charm of a Christmas romance that promises to leave you feeling merry and bright. But be prepared - because the authors mixed in a bit of spice....Nolan and Bee are truly an adorable duo, capturing hearts everywhere. It's a bittersweet situation, as they find themselves in a clandestine romance. Meanwhile, Nolan is on a transformative journey, shedding his rebellious band image to emerge as a mature and refined actor. This pivot could mark a significant turning point in his career, signaling a fresh start and a new chapter in his life. And Bee is trying to branch out from the adult video business to become a clean grown-up actress. The chemistry between them is undeniable and electric, soaring beyond measure. Yet, they've been cautioned to maintain decorum. No sex while shooting this movie. And this, my friends, is the moment we've all been waiting for—the comedy! It's that magical point where laughter meets life, and every twist and turn brings a fresh wave of hilarity. So, buckle up and prepare for a joyride of jokes, because when it comes to comedy, there's never a dull moment!

“Because that’s what love was—more than a word, more than a mountain of the best and noblest intentions in the world. It was saying I’ll be here with you when it feels like nothing else is certain. It was saying Let the storm come, because I’ll never stop holding your hand.”
Tis the season for winter/holiday romance reads, and this one is not your typical cheesy holiday rom com— it has it all. Hallmark movie vibes, s*x work, steamy s*x scenes, crude jokes, AND sweet romance.
The main characters had great chemistry in my opinion. And who doesn’t love a good comeback story? Especially when it’s featuring a former boy bander.
I enjoyed this but I was very shocked Bee didn’t get mad that Nolan didn’t admit to being a subscriber to her equivalent of OF before they hooked up. I was fully convinced this was going to be their conflict.
Another bonus? Per some googling, Sierra Simone lives in KC and the book mentions a KC staple, and my personal favorite, the Z-Man sandwich at Joe’s KC. Delicious.
If you are looking to fill your holiday romance needs, but want it to have spice, look no further. I give this romance four stars. It was a blast to read.
