While there were some discrepancies and inaccuracies in the story telling, as well as a few glaring grammatical errors, I loved the love story in this book and it made up for the weird shit that was wrong with the writing. I loved the normalcy of porn and sex-positivity written into this story as well as the body-positivity and mental health support. This book made me laugh, it surprisingly also made me cry, and it made me think of the best parts of any romance I’ve experienced or witnessed.

I totally judged this book by its cover, just expecting another fluffy Hallmark Christmas story and I was very surprised when I learned the plot. A former boy band bad boy and a porn star have to convey a sweet and family friendly image while filming a Hallmark type Christmas movie. Such a fun idea, I love it. Bee is amazing, I adore her confidence, her personality and drive and I love that she is a proud plus sized woman who is gorgeous and unapologetically herself. I’m however not Nolan’s biggest fan, I didn’t think his plot line made sense and I just think he was cheesy. I get that he was a big fan of her work but I felt like he was living in the fantasy of her and not really her. I didn’t find their love believable.

This was cute, quirky, and a bit cringe at times lol. I love what Bea did for work, and how that was incorporated into this book. I also loved the scene where they played into her ✨ personal thoughts ✨ while in her bedroom. I though Luca was funny, and Teddy was odd. Pearl was funny and outrageous, and Gretchen was more empathetic than we realized at first. But I will say that there are certain elements to this book that I didn’t love as much as I was hoping to? Overall I enjoyed it and thought it was funny and cute.
