Christmas in Coconut Creek by Karissa Kinword
5.0
I went looking for a new holiday romance this past season & boy did Karissa Kinword deliver one. Christmas in Coconut Creek is funny, spicy & just an overall good time. Ophelia & Frankie have the most adorable meet-cute from the moment they met, I knew this story was going to be something unique.

This is an insta-love situationship that just develops into this deep emotional connection as Frankie & Ophelia get to know each other. The incredible witty banter between these two highlights their increasing tension & off the charts chemistry. I could not get enough of them. Frankie in particular is such a wonderful MMC - he's honest, straight forward & there is this first date scene that will have you swooning.
This is a SUPER spicy book that is such a fun ride. The found family aspect from our MCs besties, Mateo & Tally, brings such a fun dynamic & aids in Ophelia's & Frankie's individual growth. This story is very much focused on Frankie's background & fell short a little on Ophelia's but that didn't take away from understanding where they both came from & their developing feelings for each other.
This is the start of a series & I am so excited to see where it goes because I really fell in love with these characters & so excited to revisit them in the future.
