My last review for 2023! And I think this is one of the sweetest romances I’ve ever read. I absolutely loved it and I think it might be one of my favorite books I’ve read in all of 2023.

I loved that both Baxter and Paxton were over 40, single parents to teenagers, and lonely in different ways. Baxter, because he didn’t let anyone in on a deeper, friendship level; and Paxton because he just didn’t want to be around a lot of people. And the fact that their kids set them up on a holiday buddies friendship building thing? I ate that up! I also loved the way that they took their kids feelings into consideration through this whole book. Especially when it came to finally telling them that they were in a relationship. It was honestly the sweetest, most heartwarming thing I’ve read! And the way that they cared for each other and loved all their rough edges and broken pieces?! I was giggling and smiling to myself the entire time I was reading it!

Let Your Hearts Be Light is just the sweetest, most heartwarming, and coziest books to end the year on. This is getting five stars and I can’t wait to read the next one!
