The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese
5.0
ALLLLL the stars for The Mistletoe Motive! Gosh, Chloe is just such a tremendous writer. The way she describes things is sublime, and she is the master of slow burns with high payoffs.
Gabriella and Jonathan are the enemies-to-lovers, grump/sunshine, workplace romance couple of your dreams. Gabby's the creative, idealistic dreamer and Jonathan is the cold, calculating businessman. When they are tasked with saving their beloved, but failing bookstore before Christmas, they predictably clash. But over time, they get to know each other and see the true people behind their grump and sunshine personalities, which leads to an attraction as strong as it is unexpected.
I really appreciated the autism, type 1 diabetes, and demisexual representations. They were included in the storyline without being a main focus, which I always feel helps to normalize these different conditions.
This book is the perfect read for a snowy afternoon, sitting by a blazing fire, sipping on hot cocoa. It's on the shorter side, somewhere between a novella and a novel, so curl up and get reading!
