Brynn and Pierce were an adorable couple who were given a second chance at love. I enjoyed seeing how their love unfolded the first time with the flash backs as their current story was progressing. Their story was definitely a slow burn that took a little longer than I was expecting, but I still enjoyed seeing them come together.
Brynn had such a big heart but unfortunately felt as if it had been crushed by Pierce 6 years ago. She hadn't been able to get over him because he was the on that she couldn't resolve why things when awry. Brynn wasn't going to let Pierce get through her armor back to her heart just because of how he made her feel previously. Even if he made her feel AMAZING.
Pierce is our English MMC who is the one that jilted Brynn those 6 years ago without any explanation. Unfortunately he want able to give that explanation due to his job at the time. He was too afraid of losing his job and didn't want to compromise Brynn's grade as well while she was in the class he was the teacher's assistant. But that doesn't mean he ever stopped thinking of her in the last 6 years. He hasn't been able to stop thinking of the woman that stole his heart and made him think of her every day since then. Pierce is a emotionally complex man who has dealt with strife in his life but doesn't speak about it much because he doesn't want anyone to think of his as weak. But I think that with his honesty he brought Brynn much closer!
I truly enjoyed this story and loved how much Brynn's family was involved throughout the story. I loved her parents , brother's and their significant other's involvement throughout the story. I feel like we got through all of the countdown to Christmas but we didn't get Christmas Day with the family. Which was a huge letdown for me! I wanted to read about the chaos and the involvement that Pierce was able to feel throughout the day.
Thank you to Valentine PR and Piper Rayne for the complimentary copy in exchange for my honest and voluntary opinion.
