Cute, Christmas-y story. Refreshing plot about an ambitious career woman that doesn't veer into Hallmark "ice queen who needs to just chill out" vibes. Cara and Matteo don't always communicate well, but it wasn't the over the top miscommunication type that grinds my gears. The third in this series, I would say while it is standalone, the references to the previous books are more about specific plot details than character cameos alone.

I liked parts of the book and hated certain other parts, mostly that it was such a SLOW BURN romance, which isn't really my thing, give me the spice! But I did like the overarching themes of family and strong women being sexy. I liked that in the end,

she didn't give up her job

, which is one thing I dreaded happening. I did also like the inclusion of

attempted sexual assault and her fighting back and stopping it, though I know that's not always possible.

The first half of this book was so slow and dull that I nearly DNFed it. Plus, Matteo was so hostile and rude to Cara that I had trouble liking him at all. I certainly didn’t want to see him matched up with her at that point. I kept going with the book only because I loved Duke Actually so much and wanted to believe this book would improve at some point. And in the second half, it did, especially after the two main characters started to have sex. By the end I was rooting for the couple and invested in their HEA. I’m not sure I can recommend this book, though, because the good stuff comes so late and the first half was such a chore to get through.
