I was given a digital copy of this, free. All opinions are my own.
I was given this as part of the Early Reads program. I had seen the cover a few times and when I had the opportunity to review it, I took it. This is a friends to lovers romance. And all of the quirks and drama that come with it. I like Nick and Noel and their connection with music was cute. But they were also frustrating in the "will they/won't they?" department. Not because they didn't know how they felt about one another or if they thought that their friendship would survive if the romantic relationship didn't work out. They made silly/frivolous choices that was more of self-sabotage than anything else. But, I was glad that no matter how many times their exes popped back or weaseled back into their lives, they didn't waffle with those decisions. Nick and Noel were clearly meant for each other. I do think that Noel's clinging grip on her past was a little over the top, and shouldn't have been as hard to overcome as it was, but I also appreciated that Noel was self-aware. Overall, I enjoyed this story. There were some funny antics that are definitely worth checking out. The steaminess doesn't really come out of the blue, but it takes it a moment before it gets on the page. This is supposed to be a Christmas romance, but it didn't really have that Christmas-y feel.
