This is such a great Christmas novella; I'm not usually one for small town romances but this and the other one in the series I have read, Summer Sweethearts, just hooked me straight away. This is sweet without being too much, insta-love but with a history, low angst and plenty of humour.
Cain and Aiden are just adorable and I loved them from the start. The will they/wont they tension between them is perfect in this as they have kept their feelings for each other under wraps for years. Both of them thinking the other isn't interested but too anxious to put themselves out there to find out until they are given a not so subtle shove! The secret santa plotline is inspired and I liked how it introduced other characters in the series as well as also helping to set up book two.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR
