This book had it all - spice, touching moments, childhood friends, competition, family… it was honestly really wholesome and cozy despite the definite ~spice~ going on. 

I loved the relationship building between Storee and Cole. The childhood friends to spitting banter to lovers move is just the cutest, and the fake hate and dating back and forth is so enjoyable. 

The storybook small town centered around Christmas is so cute and I wish I could go visit it. It’s the perfect setting for a holiday romance and all the small town vibes combined with the holiday cheer competition is just perfect. 

And I feel like I just need to mention… that candy cane scene? Anyone else just have a lot of questions….?

Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a spicy but still cute Christmas book.
