Just finished rereading this in a day. Still made me laugh with the banter. A lighthearted cozy read with fake dating trope, Christmas setting, grumpy/sunshine trope, and workplace romance.

This was a little tough to get into because the grumpy character really nailed it, and straight insulted Olivia a few times. But I stuck with it and I began to like Asher and I enjoyed their HEA. There was so much to this story that was so well written that I have high hopes for more novels by her.

It’s a cute enemies to lovers and an easy read with a good level of steaminess. I will say the book jumps into the main storyline with very little background and then plays catch up later which was frustrating at times. Also it has a lot of side characters with little detail on them.
