Okay so out of all the books in this series, I actually liked this one the most.
But that’s not saying much, because the other books were bad.
I feel like if Evan had gotten the proper comeuppance—short of him dying a painful death, for one—I probably would have given this book 3 stars.
But well, in terms of romance? This book was okay, I guess. I loved the dynamic between Colton and Gretchen—the golden retriever and black cat trope was done well, in my opinion.

Give me a smart heroine, a Christmas setting, and a heartthrob of a guy - and I'm there! This was so cute and it was my absolute favorite book in the series.
Country music star Colton Wheeler and Gretchen Winthrop had a one-night stand at a wedding. It was magic, and Colton wanted more, but Gretchen didn’t look back. Colton’s career is in a funk, and he hasn’t been interested in anyone since that wedding night. When the two meet years later, the fates may finally have aligned, or at least Colton hopes for a second chance.
Gretchen’s family wants him to sign a deal endorsing their product, and Gretchen’s been tasked to pitch it to him. He agrees if she goes on a few dates with him. Can he woo her and show her the magic of Christmas?
The tale that unfolds was delightful but also tugged at my heartstrings as the author gave us Gretchen’s story. Colton is wonderful, sweet, grounded and all about family. His love for Christmas and efforts to show Gretchen the magic of Christmas held me enthralled.
Of course, the Bromance Book Club, romance books, and their wives all stepped up to help. I loved getting updates and seeing them share moments together around the holidays. They stick up for one another, offer sound advice and go to bat for you. I laughed, cried, and read way past my bedtime.
We see the cheese man, and I am hoping we get his story. I loved the focus on family, trust and holiday traditions. Adams also reminded up to count our blessings and that just because a cake looks gorgeous with layers of icing and decorations doesn’t mean it tastes good.
While this works as a standalone, I highly encourage you to read this series in the order of their release. I have loved them all, and this motley book club gave me plenty of laughs and swoons. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
