Christmas in Coconut Creek by Karissa Kinword
4.0

This was recommended to me as a good between books/reading slump and it is just that. It's a cute story with no 3rd quarter breakup, and lots of spice! A very cute, quick read that had me laughing out loud several times. I have been submersed in dark romance books so this was a fun book to break that up.

I don't mean this to be negative at all but it almost feels like Karissa is a newer writer. Some things felt a bit all over the place, wordier than necessary, and it almost felt like the spicy scenes were taken from several other books and plugged into here. There is a good amount of spice but it's almost as if the Frankie and O were different people in each of the scenes LOL. I also felt like we were told about a lot of side characters and FMC/MMC personal issues, that were introduced and then glossed over or one sentence and we're done with that. I also feel like if you are going to introduce military connections/trauma, we need to delve a little deeper. Otherwise we are playing Delta Force dress up compared to how some other books tie those struggles in.

I hope she continues the series, I would absolutely read more from her. I am here for Sam & Tyler's story. Overall absolutely recommend!
