Quick read….I enjoyed the characters a lot but I needed more story which is why I usually avoid quick reads but this was a new to me author/authors and I wanted to get an idea of their writing style. I will definitely be reading more from Kaycee West/Jenni Bara/AJ Ranney.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a novella and I think I just don’t like them much. I’m used to these very developed slow burns so this seemed superficial and rushed. Wish the spicy scenes were more spicy.

Like I could scroll past a book called Goldilocks and the Grumpy Bear and not immediately read it.
This is a sweet little festive novella that you will devour in one reading which has lots of great tropes - forced proximity, single dad, single mum, professional baseball player, cute kids, grumpy X sunshine.
Single mum Natalie is spending Christmas alone in a cabin since her daughter is spending Christmas with her dad. Until Declan and his six year old turn up at their cabin to find that his brother has rented out the cabin to Natalie by mistake.
Grumpy Declan is less than thrilled when a snow storm means that Natalie can't leave and they are forced to spend the holidays together.
There is so much cuteness in this book - snowball fights and snowman building, decorating trees, making cookies….it's a feast for your festive loving heart.
It's well worth a little read if you have a couple of free hours and want to feel all the sweet Christmas vibes.
