"Love isn’t just grand gestures or bold declarations—it’s about showing up, day after day." 💕

This was a Hallmark holiday movie in book form with some additional spice and it was really just absolutely brilliant 💜. I read this whole book on one sitting in a few hours and I didn't want it to end. I absolutely loved Layla and Ben's story and the perfect HEA as well.  The book had some tough moments with a death 🖤 but that just made their story even more special.

This was my first book by this author, but it definitely won't be the last. I really loved the pace and and the writing style and no annoying / pointless third act break up which is always a win for me!!  Fake dating and one bed are my two absolute favourite tropes and with that, this book did not disappoint.

This was an awesome holiday Novella and I definitely recommend giving it a read 🎄
