I enjoyed How My Brother’s Best Friend Stole Christmas quite a bit. It’s a quick and fun read. It’s also sexy and contains one of my fave tropes. I liked the relationship dynamic between the main characters, Sam and Sophie. However, I wasn’t a fan of Sam running hot and cold, I got why he was the way he was but it still annoyed me. That said I’d still recommend this book. I’m looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.

This was my favorite in this series, I loved Sam and Sophie and the friends to lovers trope. I’m happy it was short because it limited how much the author could drag out the back and forth, but it still felt believable in the end!

Surprisingly the book with the least appealing trope in this series to me [ I mean come on- the other two had a forced/fake marriage and enemies to lovers ] was the one that I ended up enjoying the most.
I am usually not that much of a sucker for the brothers best friend trope but this was a really cute short little holiday book. I really did have fun reading it!

The Marine loves a girl.
Sam and Sophie loved each other for a long time. He was her brother's best friend, he became her best friend. He went off to the Marines and all she could do was worry, talk to him across the world, and spend time with his mom. He's home now and she's going to get her man, but nothing is ever that simple. PTSD, a severe injury, and feeling inadequate has Sam thinking Sophie deserves more and he's an ass about it. His mom and Wes make him understand that it's ok to love, as long as he doesn't hurt Sophie. Will he be able to, and after all of his push and pull...will she let him? It's the season of anything being possible.

Fucking Sam Porter. I'm sorry but trauma or not, his wishy washy attitude and the push & pull he did 80% of the entire book (and it's a really short book so this says a lot) was not it.
