Review: I received an advanced review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a cute and sweet (with some open door spice) holiday romance with something for everyone. This book kind of made me want it to be snowing outside while I read in front of my fireplace! There was baking, sports, office romance, steamy scenes, fun side characters, and Christmas! Annie and Decker are a cute couple. I also really liked the support for Decker and his mental health, not just from Annie, but also from his macho male friends. It was refreshing to read supportive male friendships.
Faves: pizza obsession, found family, macho men being sweet, "let's make our own traditions".
My only downside was that it was easy to put together where this book was headed and I kind of wish there was a little more conflict, maybe? It seemed a little *too* easy and like everything just fell into place nicely. But maybe that's my trauma talking haha!
Overall, I enjoyed it and it will be a great read for the holiday season!!
