I loved the dynamic between Rhett and Parker from their very first interaction, and my love for these two only got stronger as they went from office enemies to fake dating themselves to something real. 

Rhett was such a good grumpy character. He very much had his reasons for acting the way he did, so it was even better when his cold demeanor started to thaw for Parker. I enjoyed both Parker and Rhett's character arcs throughout the story. While Parker wore a lot of her thoughts and feelings on her sleeve, Rhett definitely kept things closer to his chest. But as secrets came to light, these two only ended up strengthening their bond and love for each other. 

The overall writing and storytelling was good, and while Like It's Christmas was a fairly quick read, it definitely put me in the mood for Christmas romances. There were several side characters that I would love to see more of, and I cant' wait to see everything that's to come for Winterstorm Village.
