Fun, steamy, predictable….everything you need for an enjoyable holiday romance. But beware, this is NOT your Grandma’s Christmas romcom!! 🌶️😂
I’m not a huge fan of insta-love tropes, especially when there is no substance to a relationship as the story progresses…but this book doesn’t care about substance. That’s not why you’re here. You’re here because sometimes you wish Hallmark Christmas movies were more saucy and gay, and this book delivers on all of that. So come in for those vibes, and nothing else!
A few items worth mentioning, but I won’t go into huge detail because it’s not that serious:
1. Bee is a confident, plus-size adult content creator who is not ashamed of her line of work and knows what she wants in life, and we love that for her!! 👏
2. Nolan is an okay love interest. The more I read, the more I thought: “You know, Bee deserves better.”
3. There is no meet-cute, and I feel robbed.

Body-positive, sex-positive, and about as sweet and steamy as you can get in one holiday rom-com package. ("Package" pun not intended but definitely would've been remarked on in a book that manages to be both very frank and filled with innuendo.)
