A cute reconciliation between two exes in the Christmas Spirit. Fun and cute, just wish it was longer!

I enjoyed this romance, rooted for the characters, and found it gripping.
It's entertaining, poignant, and I loved the atmosphere and the setting.
Good storytelling and character development.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A quick and light m/m read!
There was a lot of detail about cooking which I didn’t really care for but the emotion and tension was there!
Forced proximity is always a fun trope to read, especially during the holidays. I found the two main characters to both be likable but boy did I despise Louis, the other character in the story.
It was obvious that Jesse and Rocky cared deeply for each other but had issues with navigating from friends to lovers. I liked how the author forced them to hash out their past and potential future. The dialogue really helped the story.
I felt like the ending was too open and wanted more solid closure on the couple’s relationship status.

There are times when I let my cat on the balcony on a sunny morning, and he stretches out, as though elasticising his skin for maximum sunbathing. Then he sits there, lounging like an Egyptian princess in a Hollywood production flicking his tail as he is unimpressed by his surroundings. When suddenly, he rolls onto his back, curls himself into a ball and rolls over and over again. Making little chuffing noises that make me simultaneously heart eyed and worried. But one thing's for sure, I can see how much he's enjoying his rolling around on the sun baked warm floor.
I felt exactly like him rolling in the sun reading this book.

This is a quick second-chance romance that is mostly about overcoming a past mistake than a developing romance. Most of it takes place over one night, so it is more like a Christmas story than a romance.
The food takes a priority in the story, so be prepared to be hungry. And the characters are compelling even in the short length of the story.
It is worth reading, but think of it as an appetizer rather than a main course.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.
