One Night with a Nutcracker by Jana Aston
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
“Tomorrow, I’ll deal with the reality of this situation. Tomorrow, I’ll follow the rules and go right back to hating him. But right now? Right now, I plan to spend the rest of the day enjoying this man. Thankfully, the feeling seems mutual.”
- One Night with a Nutcracker
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, One Night Stand, Forced Proximity
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶
CW: Grief
One Night with a Nutcracker was cute, and I liked it a lot more than Elves with Benefits (first in the second trilogy). The Christmas vibes were great though, and it was a quick read. I liked the simultaneous timeline with the fourth and sixth books and the continued references to a Christmas romance book club. However, the pacing was rushed, and the chemistry felt forced. But it also had rescue goats and a protective hero moment over those goats, so it was an overall entertaining read.
