Wreck My Plans by Jillian Meadows
4.0

4.5☆
Lena arrives back to her family home unexpectedly for Christmas and is greeted by Gavin, her brothers best friend, who she hasn't seen in 3 years after he left a Christmas party and walked away with no explaination. Gavin has adored Lena for 10 years, but she's off limits, so he has to try to push his feelings aside. Having been in the foster system for years and having found family with Lena's, he can't risk losing them or her. Lena's always had a thing for Gavin, but this Christmas, it's proving impossible to stay away from him. Maybe they can have just one night? Maybe not...

This was such a great festive read! There's found family, forced proximity, only one bed, he fall first (and hard), brothers best friend and a bit of an age gap all wrapped up with a bow on top. The tension that builds between Lena and Gavin is amazing - the lingering looks, the brief, gentle touches, and intoxicating smells - it's like the most delicious Christmas treat. I also adored the small town vibes, the festive spirit, and the heat that's as hot as an open fire
