Felix Navidad by 'Nathan Burgoine

4.25

MY RATING  4,25/5 STARS

Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.

“I was right about you. It’s tedious being right all the time, but there you are.”

I read the first book in this companion series last year and I really adored it, so I was super excited when I saw this one.

This is a Christmas short story that has two timelines. The first one focuses on the present day where we have the cute Christmas romance blossoming between Felix and Kevin. The second one instead focuses on Felix taking care of one of his patients, Danya, the previous year. The alternating timelines worked really well for the story, and made everything seem very fleshed out, especially considering how the romance part of the book only takes place over a few days.

Handemade Holidays, the first book in the series, focused a lot on Christmas ornaments, and I really adored how we got to see the same theme of the ornaments being present in this book as well.

The romance plot was really great, and I had a great time seeing Felix and Kevin bond and getting to know each other more throughout the story. What made this story even better was Danya, and how he amazing he was in general, but I also loved his relationship with Felix and everyone in the village. 

This is one of those lovely short Christmas reads that can easily be read in one sitting, so if you think this sounds like something you’d enjoy I’d definitely recommend checking it out!
