This was as warm and lovely as I had anticipated from all the reviews I had previously read. I am so happy to have access to all these cozy stories and be able to indulge the cold winter months that I am spending still healing from a longer illness with these types of narratives. This was is intricately crafted, with each character being lovely in their own way. And honestly, I am so very much here for a grumpy-sunshine romance arc! Especially if it happens in a found family setting.
