Thank you Netgalley & Harlequin audio for the advanced reader’s audio for this book.
Okay I LOVED this. I love a good Christmas movie set romance anyways but this was chef’s kiss. The grumpy/sunshine scorned couple pranking the cheating ex? Pure comedic gold. Also completely irrelevant to the average reader but love the subtle Newfoundland mention 🫶🏻 I looooved how the setting of this story felt hallmark but also had some spice to it. A great spicy read for Christmas time!!
