As always Kiira wrote another BEAUTIFUL story. This was such a good introduction into this new world! Jasper and Vivian were absolutely WONDERFUL. 

Their whirlwind romance made me so happy. Their love was so easy and RIGHT. I do love tension and angst don’t get me wrong, but I also really love when things are just…simple. They sort of just fell together on this trip and then never looked back! 

I loved the tour around Finland! Kiira said it’s a love letter to her home and it was perfect. There was so much in the story about the culture and the country. I loved watching Vivian experience Finland for the first time and watching Jasper fall in love with her while it was happening! 

I feel like of stories gravitate toward the female main character’s story. And we got plenty of Vivian’s! But all of her bad luck was behind her and now that she’s met Jasper everything was just kind of…easier! But this one I felt like was a little more focused on Jasper’s story and I loved it. He went through a big change before the story started, then meeting Vivian, then once they got home he still had more adjusting to do in work and his personal life. And it was done so well. I especially loved when him and his dad were talking about how it’s okay to ask for help, that it’s okay to have feelings and actually feel them.

I AM SO EXCITED for the next book in this series!! The GM’s daughter and a player?!

Thank you SO much KH Anastasia for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I am so happy to be here!!

 I'd first like to thank K. H. Anastasia for an early copy for an honest and voluntary review

As someone who has family with Swedish roots, it was really fun to see a lot of the same traditions celebrated in this book. The food, mulled wine, and even some of the hobbies was such a joy to see. I really enjoyed the discussion on therapy, especially men in therapy and the how damaging toxic masculinity can be. The Adderman family was such a hoot. The dynamic between the siblings and the parents was one of my favorite moments. Vivian and her acceptance of Jasper's career and the fame/limelight that comes with it was really endearing. Also, all the dates? *chef's kiss* This was just a really cute and quick read. I am glad I had the chance to read it.
