This was adorable. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Gabe and Dylan in this book. I loved them in rule breaker and I had absolutely no idea that this book was in the same universe.
I loved both characters here and am always a sucker for best friends falling in love. Short stories are kind of tough to enjoy, but this was done well.

m/m - CR, friends to lovers - 4 stars - cute short story from the Winter Wonderland giveaway. Mick's ex is obviously a shit person, but Mick and his treatment and viewpoint of the relationship with his ex made him seem a shit person too. But Archie was glorious as a bf to lover.

I love Lily Morton's writing.
Everything in short stories seems to be fast forward and sometimes it works like in this book and other times it feels too rushed.
I liked the main characters in this one and enjoyed getting a glimpse of characters from books past.

3.5 stars. This was pretty cute! I had the issue I almost always have with romance novellas in that I just wanted more, I wanted the story dragged out a bit longer. It did help that they had known each other for so long, and Archie had known he was in love with Mick for 10 years, so it made sense plot-wise, but still, I just like a lot of build-up. But they were super sweet and adorable — maybe a little TOO sweet and sappy at some points, but whatever, I was in the mood for something treacly sweet and cute, and that's what I got, so I can't complain. The writing didn't always work for me — at points it felt like I was getting too much telling and not enough showing of emotions/feelings/etc., and I think it might've gotten more on my nerves if it was a longer book. But overall, this was enjoyable.

This was a lovely little friends-to-lovers feast for my soul. Truly happy-making.

Very cute. And because the MCs already know each other, the story feels full-fledged even though it is a novella.

Nice addition to the universe of Close Proximity, Finding Home, and Mixed Messages.
As always, Morton does joy and longing with equal aplomb.
