Better Not Pout by Annabeth Albert
4.0

Better Not Pout by Annabeth Albert is sweet, funny, steamy, and full of warm feelings. I really liked this holiday romance about a stuffy Army Sergeant Major who believes in structure and the sweet personable man who runs the local charity. Sparks between them flew almost immediately, but that doesn't mean that either of them were going to admit it...initially. What started out as fun turned between Teddy and Nick turned into something more, but their time is limited and Nick isn't planning on sticking around upstate New York longer than he has to. He has a plan after he retires from the Army and it doesn't include snow. Will they be able to leave it as a fling? Will they admit how they truly feel? Will Nick be able to walk away forever? You have to read to find out.

The story was cute and witty and I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. There is plenty of holiday cheer to go around, and the right amount of antics to keep you entertained. On top of that, all of the characters (side and MC) made me chuckle more than once. Teddy and his relationship with his cousin...LMAO. You should one click this book today! 4 stars.
