Cuffing Season: A Steamy, Friends to Lovers, Holiday Romance Novella by Luna Whitney

3.75

I read Cuffing Season back in July (let’s just ignore that it’s September at time of writing, k thanks) in what turned out to be a small series of Christmas in July books. Anyway, I liked it! 

It’s a low stakes cozy holiday friends-to-lovers novella that you can finish in one sitting. It’s heavy in the feels but nothing so dramatic it’ll keep you up at night. 

His hand goes to my throat with a firm grasp, and I force my eyes open. “Grayson,” I say.

”Tell me,” he says, and his voice is pleading. “Tell me you hate me being with anyone else half as much as I hate when you have someone else. Tell me it drives you crazy to know it’s not you I’m coming home to. Tell me it hurts you even a little that it’s not me you wake up to, that it’s not me whose hands have memorized the feel of your body, whose lips have scorched every inch of your skin. Tell me that I’m not alone in this. Or tell me that I am, and we’ll never talk about this gain. I can’t hold this back any longer, Ava. Tell me something. Tell me anything. Just set me free from not knowing.”

Let’s be friends on threads and bookstagram.
