I loved seeing Shae open up and Nick make the world better for his girls. Is it an insta-love Hallmark of a story? Yep! Did I devour it knowing what was going to happen the entire time? Yep!
There are quite a few editing errors that I was surprised made it into the final product (even some where the POV changes). Other than that, this could have been 5 stars.

This follows Shae 35 who has two daughters and Nick 42 who has a Son named Connor 24. Connor and Shae matched on Tinder but it was only a one-time date. After a tough divorce and friends encouraging her to go out Conner Invites Shae and her daughters to Thanksgiving as friends as it’s her first one alone with the girls. But is there an alternative motive?
This was so much fun. The elf on the shelf idea was so wonderful. Nick was perfect, understanding, patient and kind. This man's consent and validation of Shae need to be in control was beautiful. Shae is strong but under a lot of stress due to a recent divorce that left her rattled and trying not to fail her daughter’s.
I will say I did not enjoy the nickname Sugarplum. Also, what happened to Connor?!? Why didn’t he show up on Christmas? I was expecting more with Connor’s storyline. Shae is stubborn and it irritated me throughout the book but I understand why she came across that way. This is a personal issue as my husband is stubborn and drives me up the wall.
Overall it was a fantastic read and the spice was delicious.
