Wow—this book gave me all the feels! I absolutely adored the emotional journey Lexie goes on as she tries to make sense of her life after the death of her estranged father. Inheriting half of a travel business was the last thing she expected—but it ends up being exactly what she needs to rediscover herself. Honestly, I wish I could book a trip with R&L Travel right now!

The enemies-to-lovers tension between Lexie and Theo was so well done. Their banter had me smiling and their chemistry had me swooning! Emily Stone did a great job of letting their relationship develop naturally without rushing it.

I also appreciated the flow of the story—the mini time jumps were perfectly placed and kept the pacing smooth and engaging. It never dragged, which made it such a cozy yet heartfelt read.

And that tagline? “The best journey takes you home.” It couldn’t be more fitting. This was a story about love, loss, healing, and finding where (and who) you truly belong with. Highly recommend this one for your winter TBR!
