This short story was a lovely addition to the Potter Lake series. It starts about a year after the epilogue of book 1, Leslie's Curl & Dye. However, as the main characters were not really featured in that, so you could read this on its own.
This is a great read for those still in the mood for a little "holiday" in their reading as it's set over Christmas and New Year's. White gives another low angst relationship set in a small town. I love that this time the MC's are in their mid-40s. Bennett and Sage are both widowed with grown children and struggling with the guilt that comes from being ready to move on. White does an amazing job of balancing their sweet & understanding with need & sexy.
An easy and delightful read. I'm super excited to listen to book 3, The Guy Next Door.

A great and different holiday short...
I can't think of a mature love story that I've read before but this sets the bar high for any others that come along. I enjoyed meeting these characters and reading their journey to a second chance. Great story!!!

Nice
This was a cute little short with some familiar characters from another book. Loved the fact that the characters were older.
Really enjoyed this.

Oh Ok
This is definitely a book for this looking for older characters. Both characters are over 40 and widowed young. They're both new to dating so it's interesting to see them navigating something new while being aware a new partner won't replace their late spouses. This was cute. The ending was more of an HFN than an HEA, which makes sense for a holiday story about two people just meeting. They can't all be instalove!
