This short story is SO FUN and it totally put me in the holiday spirit! (The Hallmark movies I am watching in the evenings isn't hurting!) Second chance romances are always a favorite for me, and I loved Cal and Mandy together. I have really enjoyed the Risking It All series and this novella was a fun way to wrap it up. I am also loving the Almost Royal series, and love the crossover. HOWEVER, this novella, or any of the books in either series, can totally standalone, so I absolutely recommending grabbing My Gift is You even if Rachel Lacey is new to you! The first chapter of If the Shoe Fits, the first book in the Almost Royal series, is included at the end of the novella.

FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE AUTHOR. I ALSO PURCHASED A COPY AT MY OWN COST. I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
I was actually rather surprised by this story! I liked that it acted as a bridge between two different series that the author had written. I loved that it was also a second chance-esque romance for the hero and heroine of the story. I connected more with Mandy than I did with Cal, but I think that was due to his reticent nature. It was very well written for a short story, and my biggest complaint with it was that I wanted more time with these characters! I loved seeing how the characters from both series that this bridged had evolved, though the Almost Royal characters had been less developed, in an effort, I believe, to build anticipation for their upcoming stories. All things considered, this felt like a complete story and a very tender and sweet one! Another hit for the author for me!
