Awww! I really loved this. (Spoiler review) I loved that they weren’t 16 years old they were older AND their relationship lasted a couple of years AND they started out as friends AND they were totally open about sex and sex before marriage AND their cute moments weee so cute! I loved the characters and the banter and the deal to better their lives AND the spontaneous death of the bitch ass dad!! So good. Such fun

YES!!!! (She says, fist pumping into the air) THIS is exactly what I look for in a romance: great dialogue and banter, swoon-worthy moments, a little bit of a fairytale, pining for what can’t be had. Jenny Holiday delivered. This Friends-to-Lovers story (typically I prefer Enemies-to-lovers) kept me ravenously reading from page 1. Both Dani and Max (Maximus AND Minimus) are such fun, playful, characters that I began rooting for them immediately. Myself a little slow on the title nod to Love Actually, I ADORED the ties to the movie (a longtime Christmas fave). No spoilers, but I had an audible gasp of surprise at one final Love Actually connection. Remember, I said “swoon-worthy”? Sighhhhhhh
Now to go find me a Baron or Duke as adorable as Max.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I look forward to reading more by Jenny Holiday and looking back at some of her gems I may have missed!
