I have absolutely loved this series from the start and this one didn't disappoint. As always from page one I was hooked. I loved the dynamic between Jonathan and Alyssa. This is a friends to lovers romance that sweeps you off your feet. Their chemistry is smokin hot. Love that Jennifer's books are so family based, it keeps me coming back for more. You will go through all the feels. This is a must read.

I love a novella that has a great plot and characters that are well developed. I loved that Jonathan and Alyssa had worked together for a few years. I think that gave them a well developed relationship as co-workers and friends. The crush was innocent to start, but the slow burn grew. The political race was an added bonus because it added a depth.
Should a single candidate try dating while running for office? How will people who have known him take that? I could see the conflict it brought to the story and it felt very reasonable. Also, bonus points for the story being around Thanksgiving. Who doesn't love a good holiday read? I can't say either that I have read too many books around Thanksgiving.
What I didn't love was the whole #metoo movement used as a reason why they may not get together. I don't think people just go around accusing everyone that is a public figure like that, but I could be wrong. I just think all the other reasons why not seemed more feasible than that one. I do respect that she wanted to add something so current to the story, but maybe that's not how I would have done it.
Is this a good story to read after you are stuffed with turkey and don't want to move from the sofa? Absolutely. Definitely add a little after dinner wine to your glass too.
