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!
