Thank you so much to Avon for the copy of this book! I loved the first Christmas Notch book, A Merry Little Meet Cute, and was so excited to read this! Kallum is a former boy band member turned Kansas City pizza king. Winnie is a wholesome Hallmark actress who needs to rehab her image after getting divorced while also trying to shed the purity culture she grew up in and trying to figure out how to do things for herself. When they are cast in a steamy Santa movie, things heat up fast! I thought the first half of the book was great, and it was very steamy. Also, as a Topekan and wanna-be-Kansas Citian, I loved all the KC and Royals love in this book! 💙

🚨SPOILERS AHEAD🚨

This book has a surprise baby. My absolute least favorite. 🙅🏻‍♀️ The book has a part 1 and part 2 and part 2 is a major tonal shift from part 1. It’s all oriented around the surprise baby. It also kinda dragged. Really disappointed tbh, although it was better than most surprise baby romances I’ve read. BUT WHY.

Five 🌟 for the first half, it's a great mix of horny and hilarious, and I really appreciated the discussion on how damaging purity culture could be.

BUT.

The accidental pregnancy comes in so early this book should come with a warning. I mean it's not CF-friendly from the get-go, but after that it was really too much. DNF.
