Opposites attract in this gorgeous and sweet Christmas novel.
Just lovely. *tissue alert* I cried from 82% to the epilogue. Which tells you how much I loved the characters and how invested I was in their relationship.
Highly recommended for warm and fuzzy Christmas feels.

I’ll start by saying that I started reading the book and thought, hmm, something about this sounds familiar. I checked the author again and realized that I had just recently read Love on the Hudson by the same author and there is a very loose connection to this story. If you’ve read Love on the Hudson then you’ll recognize one of the protagonists as Matt, the organic farmer that Nick the farmer in Love on the Hudson was communicating with. I was so excited from that point to have the connection as I really enjoyed that first book.
In this book we have Mikah, a teacher, laid off from his position at a school in Boston, who has returned to his father’s home in Jackson Hole fresh off a break up with a cheating boyfriend. He’s home for over a month over the holidays before going to NYC to interview for another teaching job. He meets Matt, a local organic farmer when his step-mother sends him and his sister to get a Christmas tree. There is an immediate attraction and Mikah’s sister encourages him to have a holiday fling.
The trajectory of the relationship and the character development are done very nicely and very much in sync. I really felt like I was getting to know these MCs as they were getting to know each other. Mikah is a bit “poor me” for my taste but Matt brings out the best in him. The story arc moves well and I loved the holiday theme and the injections of Italian culture. The crisis moment is predictable when you consider a story where the MCs start out believing there is an expiration date but it is very nicely done and sweet.
This is a quick, fun, feel good holiday read. Just what we want at this time of year.
*I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my objective review *
