This was a sweet Hallmark-style story! I haven't read the first in the series, and I do think it would have helped me remember the overall list of characters if I had, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy the story. Rafe and Amanda are both working through grief and some big losses in their life and are wondering if they can open up their hearts to find love again. The overall relationship arc felt a little rushed, but it was still a sweet story that has me ready for the holidays! I could absolutely see this as a movie one day. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.
