I love Christmas movies so I figured reading a Christmas romance would give me the same feeling.
There was not enough Christmas in it beyond the fact that it was set around that time and there were mentions of snow and ice skating.
The book is part of a series, so I suppose that explains the extra characters always being brought in in the middle of dialogue.
The two main characters are interesting and once they stopped pretending to hate each other and got down to it, it was steamy and fun in all the right ways.
They had some good banter.
I don't like when authors add a pregnancy to the end of a story because it implies they need even more stuff to keep the two people together, but the characters did visibly struggle with it instead of accepting it as a perfect fate, so it's fine.

I had this book on my TBR for over a year now and was excited that I finally made the purchase. and now I'm mad because I didn't like a single character in this book. Not one. The whole premise sounded so cute, and I liked the storyline, but what started as a funny Meet Ugly that I thought would evolve into a cute, bantery situation between a sweet guy who owns a bake shop and a snobby debutant who warms up to him. There was nothing cute about either of them, they were both nasty to each other as well as everyone else was in this damn story.
