This was a fun, spicy Christmas in July romance! I loved the premise and enjoyed the bi representation. The narration was great and really brought Mariah and Ellie to life! There is a lot of spice at the beginning of the story!
One of my main issues with the story was the inclusion of the movie scenes. I felt like they distracted from the main story and didn’t really add anything. Every time I heard an excerpt from the movie it took me out of the budding romance between Mariah and Ellie! My other issue was the at times cringy and juvenile dialogue. Plus the scene with the lube on the ground just wasn’t funny to me.
Overall, it’s a cute holiday romance, but a bit more spicy and juvenile than I typically like. I think a lot of readers will really enjoy it though!
