It’s never too early for a Christmas themed book especially if it’s set in a small town called Merry! The beginning started slow but eventually the pace picked up and it grew on me. It was giving cozy, rom-com, Christmas hallmark movie vibes with a bit of pumpkin spice. 

Merry, Connecticut was hit by a disastrous hurricane that left the town in shambles. Noah wasn’t sure if he could revive the town in time for their yearly Christmas festivities. Cat King reality tv star of a popular home renovation show pops in to bring the town hope and pull off a Christmas miracle. But Noah wasn’t for all the cameras and extra mess Cat would bring to his town. The only thing he was concerned with was Cat not capitalizing off the town’s tragedy. 

This turned out to be a really cute book, the dialogue was authentic, and filled with well-developed characters. Noah’s character gave off a grumpy grinch vibe in the beginning and he gave so much pushback to anything Cat wanted to do for the town. All the while everything she did was truly out of the kindness of her own heart and pockets. 

The chemistry between them was palpable and the sex was tasteful but got a tad bit raunchy. It wasn’t the intense make out session in the alley that almost got them caught red handed that was raunchy. But when they finally had sex and Cat became a nasty girl lol. It went from come on me to come inside me I need to feel you in me to have a deeper connection. Like ma’am the meat can’t be that good you don’t really know this man but I wasn’t surprised that Noah was ready to risk it all. When his ex-wife popped up with their daughter right in the middle of him and Cat going at it was hilarious. 

Overall, the author perfectly intertwined romance, humor, and finding strength in community with the perfect holiday atmosphere. So, if you’re looking for a fun small-town holiday read filled with the right amount of drama, emotion, spice, and heartwarming feels you found it.
