This was my first book by this author and I was not disappointed. The characters were lovable and very relatable. I loved the progression of their relationship! If you are looking for spice, it happens about 3/4 of the way through the book but the tension is there throughout. I really appreciated the dry/sarcastic humor of the characters as well - it's my favorite kind of humor. The relationship dynamics of the families were really well done. I found the animosity some characters had to be pretty realistic too. I enjoyed seeing the main female character decelop through all the hurdles thrown their way, and again I absolutely loved the relationship between the FMC and MMC. I especially loved how there was no 3rd act break up like we often find in these types of books. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet holiday read with substance and some spice.
