This is the first book I've read and reviewed using the CAWPILE system so here goes ...
Characters - I enjoyed Will and Suzanna, though I wasn't overly invested in them. I adored the twins and my heart broke for them losing their mother at such a young age. Will's big family was a plus for me, as I'm a huge fan of large families.
Atmosphere - the atmosphere of the ranch was done really well. I would have liked a bit more descriptions. For a novella-length book, it was good and I could (almost) picture myself there.
Writing Style - I always love Leslie North's writing style, though the romancy bits were quick. I think this speaks more to the types of steamy books I've been reading lately, and less to her writing style. Not quite as good as the Sheikh romances, but still really good.
Plot - The plot was sound. The only thing I would have liked to see was the interview - it's such a big deal for Suzanna and the whole reason she's on the ranch with Will in the first place. Then it's time for the interview and we jump right over it. I loved the Christmas Games - definitely a competitive family and a very intriguing way to celebrate the holidays.
Intrigue - Most of the time, Leslie North's books can be read in a day for me. None of them are terribly long. This one took me a few days and I was interested in what would happen but not quite hooked or on the edge of my seat. Still a good read.
Logic - Everything made sense here. The characters acted as I would expect for their personalities.
Enjoyment - Yes, I enjoyed this one. It's a sweet fake-dating holiday romance and one I would recommend to readers looking for something similar.
