I honestly wish I could give this more than 5 stars, that's how much I loved it. It is the perfect holiday read, with spice, sass, and enough sexual tension to knock your ugly Christmas sweater off.

"No one comes into my bakery and thinks, oh look at the sexy baker rocking that messy ponytail, a plain black, flour-caked apron, and the cloying scent of vanilla exuding from her every pore. Come sit on my face sweetheart."

Dani owns her own bakery. She’s smart and funny, she can hold her own. She knows what she wants and goes after it. And when she sets her eyes on Declan, she doesn't stop until she gets what she wants.

Declan is a grinch and is the Fire chief, and after a scandal with the old Chief, he is focused on running his station with no distractions. When Dani asks him out, he turns her down, but that doesn't stop her from pursuing her.

I absolutely loved Dani. Her sassy attitude made me laugh more than once. Declan is so grumpy that it's almost funny. Also, Can we talk about the dirty talk in this one? Not just from Declan, but from Dani as well. I mean I may have blushed a time or two.

I also want to mention the other characters. Grace is a little spitfire. I cannot wait for her book. Jaxon and Jenson are up to their usual brotherly antics. Fighting more with each other than they get along.

I could go on and on about this book, but I don't want to give anything away. Maybe just some sprinkle cookies, IYKYK! ;)

Thank you Amy for this ARC!
