This was a sweet romance with surprising depth. I liked the exploration of trauma, anxiety, PTSD, I think these topics were well-handled.
The story dragged sometimes, and some of the conflict was unrealistic to the point that my eyes would roll out of their sockets. There were some lovely scenes that managed to melt my icy heart though, and Mark and Riley were great together when stripped of all the bullsh*t.
The main characters were well fleshed-out and I really liked Mark. Riley was quite frustrating at times. The rest of the cast was two-dimensional.
The cover and title are a bit misleading, this is not a very christmassy story in my opinion, rather it is a romance set during Christmas season.
