3.75 star, 1.5-2 spice

Overall a really cute and enjoyable christmas read.
I highly recommend this series to everyone it is a lot of fun.
In this book we get a nice play on grumpy/sunshine, Christmas, lots of A Christmas Choral references, 2nd chance romance (kinda?). I also really enjoyed that the FMC was an immigration lawyer. It was a profession I have not seen in any other books, and her drive to help others and her empathy were wonderful.


My only issue with this book is that it just cut off at the end. I really needed one more chapter to get a real HEA, and I felt the family issues/work issues/and inheritance stuff wasn't buttoned up enough.

I started this over the holidays...I made it about two chapters in before I got  caught up in other books. Had a day off today, so decided to finish it.
.
The Bromance Book Club is one of my favorite romance series - I love the premise and love the ways these people support each other. So I was favorably inclined from the beginning. And I was not disappointed. I laughed, I gasped, I felt things 😉 Full of cheesy lines...which I honestly loved 😂 This wasn't my favorite book of the series - it leans a bit heavily into stereotypes of holiday cheer - but I still really enjoyed it.

Many thanks to Berkeley Romance for a free review copy!
