Nick & Noel were both such well rounded characters & their relationship is so cute. When I started this book, I wasn't sure about it, it seemed to have some stuff that was out of place but then after getting to know the characters better, everything felt better placed. It was the perfect amount of Christmas, romance & spice! Can't wait to read the rest of them!

Like a Hallmark Christmas movie in book form (we’ll, with slightly more spice).

“Every time I’m with her, it’s like the world shines a little brighter.”

🎄 Friends to lovers
🎄 Slow burn
🎄 He falls first
🎄 FMC overcomes trauma surrounding death of parents 
🎄 Family Christmas Tree Farm
🎄 Some well established secondary characters 
🎄 Fake dating (briefly to make exes jealous)
🎄 Found family
🎄 Epilogue

🚩 Toxic masculinity & sexism in characters’ speech & thoughts towards each other. Writing normalises men being shamed as ‘effeminate’ & ‘enuch’, women as ‘ho’, ‘bitch’, and slut-shamed.
🚩 Little growth in characters surrounding sexist & toxic remarks
🚩 Moderate typos

⚠️ Pregnancy, moderate violence, car accident (not on page), death of parents (not on page), misogyny/sexism, toxic relationship, toxic friendship, vomit, MC returns from active duty in military.
