I was not sure how they were going to pull off a HEA, but I think they managed to do it in a sugarcoated but realistic way.

I’m not a huge fan of insta-love tropes, especially when there is no substance to a relationship as the story progresses…but this book doesn’t care about substance. That’s not why you’re here. You’re here because sometimes you wish Hallmark Christmas movies were more saucy and gay, and this book delivers on all of that. So come in for those vibes, and nothing else!
A few items worth mentioning, but I won’t go into huge detail because it’s not that serious:
1. Bee is a confident, plus-size adult content creator who is not ashamed of her line of work and knows what she wants in life, and we love that for her!! 👏
2. Nolan is an okay love interest. The more I read, the more I thought: “You know, Bee deserves better.”
3. There is no meet-cute, and I feel robbed.

I am a big fucking fan of romance books featuring sex workers in an incredibly positive light and unabashedly discussing sex work coexisting with long term relationships. I feel like some romances demand that the person who does sex work stop after getting in a relationship which feels so incredibly manipulative in books. Thankfully we have zero manipulation in this book. But as a disclaimer, better opinions on this rep work come from people with firsthand experience with sex work so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.
Bee and Nolan were really superb main characters. Their chemistry jumped off the page from the get go and each character individually had so much charisma and personality that even individually they were stellar leads to follow throughout the book. The writing for both POVs was seamless and while I was easily able to tell which co author wrote which character/scene, I felt like the narrative voices were beautifully complimentary and transitioned without a hitch.
The expanded cast of characters in this little Christmas film set town were also supremely fun. I appreciated how all the side characters also had vivacious personalities and lives outside of the main story that had me salivating to read their stories.
This whole book was delightfully engrossing, sexy, and tooth achingly sweet. LOVE. Can't wait for more in this series.
