This was a holiday version of “You’ve Got Mail” and I LOVED IT SO MUCH! This was an extremely tender, yet quick, holiday romance and I loved every second of it. I love how Chloe Liese adds such great representation in her books!! This book contains an autistic and Demisexual FMC and an MMC with a chronic illness (T1D). All of these are handled with such care!! The way that the MMC was so attentive to her sensory needs and accommodated them without saying anything, even before she told him she was autistic?? WE LOVE TO SEE IT! He truly saw her and loved her. Chloe Liese men are just superior. 

Even if you don’t love Novellas, I think you would still love this. It gave everything it needed to give, and more, all in under 200 pages. I don’t know how she did it, but I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.

-the banter?? Top tier!!!
-The chemistry?? SIZZLING!
-The emotional connection/intimacy? AMAZING.

I had been having such a bad holiday, since I am sick, and this completely brightened my mood. I almost stayed up all night to finish it in one sitting!! It is just the perfect pick-me-up romance. 

Chloe Liese truly can do no wrong in my eyes. At this moment, I have read everything she has published, and I love all of them so much.
HIGHLY recommend!
