The only thing I was annoyed by was
I loved so much about this book and the character development of the side characters as well as the main character. It's just so nice to see a romantic male, love-interest respecting boundaries.
Also, side thought, I love it when men in fiction enjoy touch or sexual actions that aren't just penetration, it's just so nice to see. And how reverent Max is, Ah, amazing.
Needless to say, I think this is a great read and very lovely for people who could use a little love boost. :)

It wasn't quite as Christmasy as the first one - it began and ended on Christmas, but most of the book took place between Christmases.

Found this one after aimless scrolling on Libby and was pleasantly surprised! I was afraid it would be too holiday-y but it takes place over the course of a year so was not an issue.
Absolute A+ banter from these two (he's a playboy almost-duke w/ daddy issues, she's a biracial professor w/ a shitty almost-ex husband). It was fun to follow the story from the start of their friendship through the slow-but-not-too-slow burn of their romance. The end didn't quite hit the mark for me hence the less than perfect score but the story was still super enjoyable.
Bonus points for making the dog and the dude have the same name.
