The Gift Rarely Given by Ambar Cordova

Ohh, what a gem of a book and story this one was! I loved it!
This should be no surprise, since I've read the previous books and loved them, but it was a lush of fresh air in this holiday season.
In this story we have a funny meet cute between Livie and Alex, around finding a parking space. Even if it wasn't on their plans, the ended up going out that night and had a night to remember. They meet again and is clear that they can't stay away from each other so even if they don't admit that, they find a way to help each other and spend time together through a fake relationship. But is it fake when you act even when no one's watching? Even when you want it so bad for it to be real?
I loved both characters. Livie was such a strong woman, and at the same time kind, sassy and funny. She got to see the best of the people around her and loved to help everyone around. She had a kind heart and I kept rooting for her HEA. And Alex was just the perfect match for her. He was a kind, respectfull, sweet, funny, attentive and just perfect. Just perfect. He always said and did the right things and made me "aaahhww" so many times. I don't know how it is possible to right the perfect characters every time, but Ambar sure delivers every single time.
And not only the characters, but the whole plot/story, world building, all the details. I just love her writing style and what she manages to put on paper. Amazing!
I'm just dying to read the next one!
