Friends to lovers meets opposites attract in this regency romance Christmas novella from Lydia Lloyd.
Lloyd does great job creating an HEA for two people who, despite years of friendship and love, seem very incompatible.
It was funny, romantic, and super hot but never gratuitously (not that I object to gratuitous sex obviously). The 12 days of gifts and the flash forward in the epilogue were a VERY NICE touch.
There is some mild slut shaming and I’d have preferred thethird act breakup had it been less cruel to her.
