I adored this book. The holiday vibes and the setting were immaculate! And I love all these characters. The only things that really irked me was how obtuse Stella was about Luka. She was so stubborn at being blind to his feelings and also not acknowledging her own, so that was frustrating to read. I could suspend my disbelief that Stella kept her pining to herself for 10 years, but once their feelings were obvious I just got annoyed with her. And occasionally the spicy scenes were a bit vague on positioning so it was hard to follow what was actually happening logistically lol. But everything else about this book was perfect and I am so excited to read more from this author!!
