Thank you to Maren Moore and Valentine PR for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

The author calls this "Hallmark after dark" and I can't think of a more fitting phrase for it! I DEVOURED this book! 

The characters are likable, the story is sweet, the setting is festive, and the love scenes are SPICY! 

For a rekindling romance, I just wish there were a few more "playing hard to get" scenes, because I couldn't get enough! The building tension between Josie and Wyatt from her hesitation was delicious! I love that the MMC is forward in his advances and still remains respectful. Their chemistry was awesome and I really enjoyed this romance. I definitely recommend it for spicy, simple,  feel-good love story readers.
