I really didnāt like the epilogue and I donāt know why the authors through it was necessary to add it? Really did nothing for the book or me. But a solid 4 star read.

I adore Bee and Nolan so much š„° a biconic couple š
4/22/2022
***I received an ARC of this book from Avon, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.***
Content Warnings: Parent with bipolar disorder, loss of a parent, fatphobia, explicit sexual scenes, and discrimination/harassment/hate towards sex workers [not by the authors or main characters its discrimination the characters face by the media/strangers within the book].
When I first heard about this book, about a month ago, I knew that I needed to get my hands on it. I sped on over to Netgalley and hit request so fast, so when I logged on to my PC yesterday and it said Iād been approved for the ARC I was ECSTATIC! So judge all you want but I DEVOURED this Christmas book in Aprilā¦and I feel no shame!
From the very start of this book, I was laughing out loud, giggling, and firmly invested. A huge fan of dual narrative I adored going back and forth between Bee and Nolanās perspectives! I also love how the prologue perfectly set up the story but came from a 3rd narrative/perspective that was hilarious!
Bee has always loved performing, even though sheās faced a lot of discrimination, and disrespect, due to her being plus-sized. Having found confidence, community, and family while creating adult content online, Bee is enjoying life but always contemplates her childhood dream of taking on more mainstream roles. So when Beeās producer calls and tells her he needs her to star in a Hope Channel production, with a list of rules to prevent anyone from connecting her to her online persona, though extremely nervous she decides to give it a shot.
Having grown up in the limelight Nolan knows what it feels like to live under a microscope. Being part of this Hope Channel movie could open doors, and opportunities that could ensure he has a steady income to support his family, and finally shed the bad boy image thatās always followed him. After his father passed Nolan felt the need to take care of his younger sister and mom. Being employed means having the medical insurance and money his family needs to ensure his sister finishes school, and his mother is able to get the doctorās appointments and medication she needs for her bipolar disorder.
I loved that Bee has been a fan of Nolanās since his boy band days and Nolan has been a fan of Bee since he first saw her profile on ClosedDoors, a few years ago, and is a top-tier member/supporter of hers. The fact that they both are fans, and longtime supporters, of each other without knowing is so cute!
It may be April but I devoured this Christmas book in less than 24 hours and now Iām just sad that Iāll have to wait, hopefully not super long, to jump into more books in this series. Iām excited to see what other love stories come out of this series, there are quite a few potentials, just based on all the different characters we meet in this book.
If youāre looking for a fun holiday romance between a hot/fat,/bisexual/sex worker and a reformed/sexy/bisexual/boy band man that also has great representation youāre going to want to pre-order this book right away!
