Honestly, this book made me feel more than any other KA book has previously. I really enjoyed this book far more than her others (so far), especially the first book in this series. This book wrapped the series up perfectly and that last line had me balling my eyeballs out.
If only I could be a heroine in a KA world!

I don’t want it to end.
I need more of the Gamble men. I loved loved loved Toby and am so glad that Addie was perfect for him.

Oh wow! Ashley did it again. I was so completely into this story from the get-go, I was extremely sad when it was over!
Amazing character development, a beautiful slow burn, and some characters that needed a good (or bad!) talking to.

4— it’s hard to rate this. KA is still KA, so she writes an engaging story. That said, Suicide doesn’t belong in an epilogue. Ever. It’s not a good thing under any circumstances... just no.
Toby was ruined for me by his behavior toward Jocelyn, his mother, and Addie’s Father. It demonstrated an ugly smallness of character that was disappointing.
I didn’t mind that there were no major dramas (like kidnappings or shootings). Everyday life has its own dramas. Lots of sweet moments in here too.

I really enjoyed this story, I just don't like how they talk. If you can get past that, really good story.

Trying to get back on her feet, single mom Addie is barely paying the bills. It just so happens that her soon to be brother-in-law’s brother, Toby, seems determined to help her out anyway he can: shoveling snow, hanging Christmas lights, dropping off groceries, helping out with her son when she needs it. Too bad he doesn’t like her like that, right?
This was pretty enjoyable. The main couple is together by 30% and then they are just dealing with a lot of family drama. Learning to communicate and be together, something they fought for a while because Addie’s sister and Toby’s brother are in a relationship. This felt a little more steamy compared to the average KA novel. I didn’t like this as much as The Hookup, it dragged a bit in some fluffy scenes and there was a lot of 1 yr old baby dialogue. This takes place a lot at Christmas and there is classic KA domestic fluff/found family.
While Lance Greenfield did fine, Stella Bloom slayed this on audio.Â
