I knew I was probably going to like this one because I've really enjoyed all of the author's other books, but I LOVED it. It's a very meta story, a romance book about romance authors who were together but he broke her heart and now years later due to some of the best romance tropes happening to them (forced promoxity, only one bed), they're writing a second chance Christmas romance novel together. Jess has published some books but is stuck coming up with an idea for the next one when she's asked (more like voluntold) to introduce Nick when he receives an industry award despite never actually writing a happy ending (which as we know, makes it not a true romance). Even though they haven't spoken since they broke up and he's had significantly more success than her, what she doesn't know is he's also been stuck for ideas. In the short time they message ahead of time, the verbal sparring inspired them both and when they end up storm stayed at the inn that hosted the awards, sharing a room because her reservation was lost, their editors suggest they write together. They do, becoming closer as the days go on, clearly still attracted to each other. She doesn't know he still loves her and regrets the way that they ended, and that it ended at all. I liked how fiesty she was, how sweet he was, and how they were clearly perfect for each other in so many ways. I used to think I didn't like second chance romances but I love them and this is simply the latest to prove that to me. Plus, everything was all Christmassy, which I'm starting to be in the mood for so the timing was perfect! This is definitely one I'll think about and want to read again someday, I'm sure. Well done, Falon Ballard! Also, the sneak peak of her next book has me so intrigued!
