Christmas Wish List by N.R. Walker
4.0
Jayden Turner is a bit of a nomad right now. While trying to figure out his next move he agrees to take a short-term position as chef in a new bed and breakfast over Christmas in Hartbridge.
Carter "Cass" Campion, recently out and divorced dad, bought his great-aunt's old country manor and has bene fixing it up to open a b&b. He hired Jayden to get a bit of buzz and early reviews for opening week and doesn't plan to offer three meals a day all the time, just for the opening. What he didn't expect was that the chef he hired would be so great with his kids and so helpful around the manor and be so cute.
Obviously you can see where this is going. The story is a little formulaic for the tropes it employs but that's to be expected. Cass and Jayden are really cute together and I really enjoyed this more than Tic-Tac-Mistletoe, the previous book in the series. Christmas Wish List has a lot of swoon and a few misunderstandings which are addressed immediately. God, nothing turns me on more than communication. There is spice but not too much.
My biggest gripe with this again is a personal one in that I don't really like the "basically insta-love" trope in romance. Its very unrealistic and takes me out of the book a bit. I can forgive it for holiday romances, I guess, as the holidays only last so long.
