M/F, contemporary romance, friends to lovers
Found this one after aimless scrolling on Libby and was pleasantly surprised! I was afraid it would be too holiday-y but it takes place over the course of a year so was not an issue.
Absolute A+ banter from these two (he's a playboy almost-duke w/ daddy issues, she's a biracial professor w/ a shitty almost-ex husband). It was fun to follow the story from the start of their friendship through the slow-but-not-too-slow burn of their romance. The end didn't quite hit the mark for me hence the less than perfect score but the story was still super enjoyable.
Bonus points for making the dog and the dude have the same name.
