What a Heartwarming & sweet Christmas story set in a small town where everybody knows everybody… Which is a blessing & a curse.  A sweet & tender love story with some depth full of Christmas cheer while helping others… over coming difficulties, healing & finding peace. I absolutely fell in love with Mark & his backstory. A local town firefighter hero who was burned while saving children from a forest fire. He has an idea for an ultimate Christmas gift for his father but needs some help from the art teacher, Riley. Mark is so sweet & so patient with Riley. And who doesn't love a hometown hero??? I loved Riley & Mark's hilarious meet cute! Both of them have healing to do from their pasts. Riley is struggling with commitment & finding a place to belong while Mark is working through PTSD & finding peace with who he is now.  This is a sweet romance with the perfect blend of Christmas cheer & character development. If you enjoy Christmastime romances, this is a great choice for reading this holiday season!
