I admit I’m not overly into Christmas books but I’ve enjoyed Maren’s other books and this one sounded cute so I thought what heck let’s try it. And it was so cute and fun! I’m so glad I read it!

This is the 3rd book in the Strawberry Hollows series, you don’t need to read the others to enjoy this one. This one follows Josie, a primary school teacher obsessed with Christmas and Wyatt a grumpy, single dad. Josie and Wyatt were high school sweethearts before they broke up and he moved away. Fast forward 8 years and he’s back in town with his 5 year old daughter and finds out Josie is he’s daughter’s teacher. Throw in a bunch of fun Christmas activities, and all those old feelings come back for both of them. 

This was such a cute read! I love second chance romances and I loved the way these two got back together! I love that in novellas there’s no dragging things out or other drama, it’s just cute, fun and steamy!

I definitely recommend adding this to your Christmas TBR! I will definitely be going back to read the first 2 books!
