3.5 ⭐️ a steamy Christmas movie. It gave me The Nanny vibes from Lana Ferguson (the MMC being a big fan of the FMC and what she does). While I think it was funny seeing the comparison of a wholesome Christmas movie film that the two characters need to do, I find the actual chemistry of why they "love" each other lacking other than physical.

Rounding up from a 3.5 out of 5 to 4 stars. This was fun and a little kinky, but what else would you get when a porn star crosses paths with the equivalent of a Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas movie? Well in this one you actually get some cool characters and a fun story that finds reason in the ridiculous. This is actually a very sweet and real story about people who are just trying to find a way to be themselves with innocent dreams and naughty fantasies. Most of all this is a story of love and family and finding yourself. Light but real, so sort of fantastic!

This was such a entertaining and sexy read. I mean, What could go wrong with a porn star and an ex boy band bad boy film a family friendly holiday movie?
I love that the FMC was also plus-size and an adult film star. How lucky for her that she now has a chance to meet/work with her former bad-boy pop star crush, Nolan Shaw. The chemistry between the characters is immediately noticeable. The storyline flowed nicely and the characters had good development.
The spice in the story was well done.

3.5 stars - Not the best, but didn’t hate it. I also haven’t found a single Holiday book I love and I’m not the biggest rom-com reader so my expectations weren’t super high. But this was cute enough! Hallmark movies meets OnlyFans - literally. It was sweet and funny, but I could have used more witty banter and less obvious bad decisions being made. I had a hard time watching the characters make one bad decision after the next. I mean I know there could be no story without the bad decisions but all decisions were unrealistically bad. Like they didn’t think the strip club was a bad idea or the statement wasn’t going to hurt Bees’s feelings (just to name a couple of the said bad decisions)? Just silly. I also felt moments of just being ready for the story to be over which usually isn’t a good sign. But overall, a cute Christmas treat of a book! I definitely think this could be a 5 star read for plenty of people.

I really loved the concept of this book. I loved how progressive it is about women/sex work.
Bee and Nolan are two people who never would’ve imagined themselves to be the stars of a wholesome Christmas movie. Both of them have secrets that could ruin their movie. Bee is a porn star and Nolan has a bad boy reputation from his boy band days. He is on track for rebranding himself, but it turns out, he’s had a crush on Bee’s prior work, and vice versa. They were both caught off guard and pleasantly surprised when they found out they were starring in this wholesome Christmas movie together.
I loved the Christmas vibes and I really loved Bee’s character a lot. I just want to protect her at all costs. The only reason I did this as a three (I would do a 3.5) is because I didn’t feel enough romance in it for Bee and Nolan. I wanted more build up, but already had the satisfaction of them being together pretty early on. It was a short time period so it was kind of hard for the build up. I was really frustrated with Nolan when he initially did not stick up for Bee after they were found out. I was relieved when he realized how much he messed up. Definitely a spicy read, I just wanted more romance. With that being said, I can’t wait to read the next one with Kallum!

This should have been better than it was. It wasn’t bad, but I kept expecting more.
I really liked that Bee and Nolan were each other’s celebrity crushes. If she was just a fan instead of being famous in her own right, I don’t think this would have worked.
