So dang sweet and a really good portrayal of grief around the holidays. The characters had chemistry from the start and I giggled a few times.

Disappointing ending. The actual   getting together felt rushed and sloppy with a hefty dose of sex over substance. The premise was good and the characters interesting. Could have been good story if it wasn't rushed with an ending that felt incomplete.

Yet another author from this short series that l'll be checking out in the New Year. I liked the writing style, I liked the lovely heart-warming story and I liked the spice. 

You can't get much characterization done in 50 odd pages, so I won't hold that against the author, though there were veins of grief as a topic in the story.

While I know this is a short story the pacing was extremely fast, with a very instalove feel. I love the concept of this and wish it was a little longer to be able to flesh things out slightly. I enjoyed the story it was fun and lighthearted but honestly did not feel very christmassy. I’m a big fan of Alexandria though so I am ready for when she releases her next book.

Good but kinda nothing at the same time. Picked up just in time to end. I liked the characters and would have liked to learn more / see them together more but I get that’s not quite what this series is for.

This novella is a well done firefighter romance. Short, sweet, and moderately spicy with a light holiday setting.
