Can we just appreciate the quote above? Like how sweet is Parker Grant? Man, I am simping HARD for him.
Maren Moore has yet again created another perfect specimen of a man and I cannot get enough! Part of me is sad that I love Christmas so much because if I didnโt, I could in fact be taking Quinnโs spot INSTANTLY. Oh well, I will continue to be delusional and think I could ever get my hallmark ending like Quinn did,
Once a year, Quinn returns home to see her family, only itโs during the season she hates and one where her relationship is strained with her father. Not looking forward to the yearly traditions of arguments between her parents, Quinn is more than reluctant to hibernate and get through the week as quick as she possibly can. While stepping outside for fresh air, Quinn comes face to face with her childhood crushโฆ Grant. A conversation or two later, a bet is created under the mistletoe along with a steamy kiss shared.
As the week draws on, Quinn finds her old feelings resurfacing after a one night stand turns into an every night stand and Parkerโs company becomes the favourite part of her day, just like her company becomes his.
I absolutely LOVED the chemistry between Parker and Quinn and how perfect he was towards her. I love how the family reacted when Grant announced his feelings for all to hear during a Christmas lunch, it was so nice to see a different reaction than the one where the brother storms off furious that his sister and best friend have been sleeping together. The entire novella left me feeling warm and heartfelt, it was the perfect introduction to the holiday season and I bet the next novella will be just as good, if not bet. The ending made me so happy and I hope I get to see more of them! Santaโฆ Iโve been a good girl and need a man like Parker.
