This holiday romance with single dad trope in a small town is even better than I thought it would be. Merry and Clark had such adorable banter, and having Jace, Clark's son, present makes the story even cuter.

The first half of the book felt slower than the second half, which has more drama, and the plot shift from the online texting to them meeting in person felt sudden. The secondary characters were excellent especially Merry's brother, Nick. They made the plot more entertaining and it makes me want to read Nick's book too.

Someone said this is the holiday version of You've Got Mail and it was the first thing that got me hooked. I now finally understand why though it needs to be more rivalry and it felt like there's something missed, nevertheless it still counts and I didn't regret reading this at all!
