The first book was MUCH better. I enjoyed this one, mainly because of the hero, Zeke. But I had major problems with the heroine, Hannah. She's hung up on her ex and quite frankly treats Zeke like crap as a result. On top of that, she has this crazy notion that fireworks - aka real passion - ruin a relationship and she's stuck in it. Pushes Zeke away because of it. Finally she's a drama teacher and has an incredibly inappropriate relationship with her 9th grade students. She talks to them about her relationship problems. They are at her house talking "girl talk" with her about the men in her life. I'm sorry, but as a teacher this REALLY bothered me. You can have friendly relationships with your students, but they are not your friends. That's a line that you can't blur. I guarantee that had she been a male teacher this would have been obviously problematic. But it is for female teachera too. So yeah that bothered me, a lot.

My Review:
The first book in this series was adorable and reminded me of a Hallmark movie, so without hesitation I got the next two books in the series. Kissing Santa has such a cute story idea that I couldn't wait to read this one but....
I thought it was cute and I loved Zeke the handsome kissing firefighter Santa but I hated Hannah. She was so whiny and annoying and Zeke totally deserved someone else. Hannah was so suck on her ex boyfriend that I found her to be rather rude. She got fireworks when she kissed Zeke but all she talked about was the sparkler affect she got kissing Jackson her ex. WHAT who wants sparklers?!?! I want FIREWORKS Big LOUD FIREWORKS...Stupid sparklers!!! She wasn't a strong person I was hoping she would be and at times Zeke was sort of a weak person for wanting someone that honestly didn't want him. I loved the cameo of the Lexi and Kyle (from the first book) but I was looking for awesome characters like them, these two just kind of fell apart for me.
This one wasn't my favorite but it was cute. I did like Zeke's family and the idea was really cute it just didn't work with Hannah. Which was a huge bummer for me. I sort of realized early on that this was going to be a 3 for me but Zeke totally bumped it up .5 which is why I gave this 3.5 stars.
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review
Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!

Another cute Christmas short story. A bit cheesy in parts and a bit unrealistic, but lots of good holiday fun!
