My favorite thing about this is its portrayal of two families melding together. Paxton and Baxter are incredible fathers, and as their romance grows so does their love for each other’s kids. There’s just so much love going around. It was beautifully done.
Here are some of the many delightful tropes in this book:
- grumpy x sunshine
- hurt/comfort
-enemies to friends to lovers
-slow(ish) burn
-FLUFF
-high heat 🌶️
-dad jokes galore
-anxiety rep
-a growly lumberjack
-pet names
-hot cocoa as a love language
Have I convinced you yet? Go read this book!
Moderate: Death and Mental illness

Okay... where to start? This is my first time reading Fae's book and I... really love it! This is solid for me. Solid story of a sweet M/M Holiday Story. I love how both Paxton and Baxter started as stranger with Grumpy X Sunshine trope; made this story likable and cute.
I love the process when I read this book; trying to understand both Paxton and Baxter; including their struggles in life. I also love both Nathan and Becca. They're sweet kids. In the end, I love this book as a whole. The plot, the characters, the story, the character developments and the pace.
I love the slowburn romance between this two single dads and I also love their bond. Thank you for bringing such a lovely holiday M/M story, Fae. You are brilliant!
If I had a chance to re-read, I will for sure. What a journey for this Christmas and Disability December read.

This was so precious, I can't 😭 This was the queer joy shot I so desperately needed.
I also may have or have not cried at the anxiety rep...
And apparently this is published on my birthday?? Which just makes it hundred percent better
