This was a cute Christmas novella that I got for free as a Goodreads Deal of the Day. I really enjoyed the author’s voice and style. Tessa and Nick have known each other for years and started up a tech business together. Now, eight years later, Tessa is moving on from the company, and while she and Nick are still friends, they both secretly wish for something more, which has been complicated since Tessa has been on/off dating Nick’s best friend. When a Secret Santa begins leaving gifts to the theme of her favorite song, will it finally be true love? This was great for something enjoyable and light to read when you’re in a holiday sort of mood. 4/5 stars.

This story was just too short! I didn’t feel like I had enough time to fall in love with Tessa or Nick. The story line was sweet, although rushed and slightly unrealistic. I liked that the characters had a long history of friendship which made the quick jump into a relationship much more believable. Loved the grand gestures and sentimental thought behind all of Santa Baby’s gifts.

Started this in line at Disneyland for Rise of the Resistance.
Too truncated to be believable, but could have been really good if it were a full novel.

Super short holiday read featuring friends to lover trope. There's hardly a chance for character development due to the short length. The characters are likable, but I wish the story had been longer.

not very good but I wasn't expecting much. It's very short. I never really like stories with love triangles where a character is in love with their SO's best friend or where someone is in love with their best friend's SO.

This was a really cute story that managed to take a holiday christmas song that drives me nuts and make it very entertaining.
Tessa Stoneman is about to leave the comforts of her position with GameNerdz and open her own graphics design firm. She's determined to prove to herself and others that she was more than GameNerdz's co-owner, Damien's girlfriend. But leaving GameNerdz also mean leaving behind the one man that has truly owned her heart since she met him freshman year of college...Nicholas Boone.
Nicholas knows now is the time to finally make his feelings known for Tessa and figures her last Christmas with the company he co-owns is the perfect time to do it. He's determined to 'go big' and prove just how much Tessa means to him.
This was really, really cute. Robin Covington created two leading characters that you love from the minute they appear on the page. You want Tessa to make the grand gesture to Nick so he knows how she feels. And you adore Nick and how he's chosen to let Tessa know exactly what his feelings are. It's one of those stories that just makes you feel good when you get to the last page.
If you are looking for something to keep you in the holiday spirit, this is definitely one that I suggest you pick up.
