Christmas at Fort Gifford by Jordan Elizabeth
3.0

Thanks to the author for a copy to review! More reviews at https://spinesinaline.wordpress.com

This one is split into two POVs but split in half, so the first half of the novella is one person’s perspective and the second half is a second person’s, taking up in time where the first person leaves off. I wasn’t sure how the two were going to play together at first but I’ve gotta say — I really didn’t care for the second person. Perhaps that’s the way they’re portrayed in the first half but there just wasn’t enough redeeming qualities in his story to make me care about his point of view. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the first part and would’ve liked to explore that later, rather than switching to an unlikeable character.

That said, it’s still a cute story about finding love in a historical fort (!), set around Christmas-time if you need something extra cheerful now.
