I truly adored this book. It’s been a few months since I read a book that legitimately *hooked* me, and this one absolutely did. I adored their grumpy/sunshine dynamic; their banter was spot on and they genuinely enjoyed each other’s company, even when their personalities *seemed* like polar opposites. 

It’s fun and Christmas-y and full of all the themed-goodness I could possibly have wanted (their last names are literally Holiday and Frost, okay, it’s amazing). But even beyond being a fun holiday read, it’s a sweet (and spicy 👀👀) romance about overcoming your past hurts, loving someone for who they truly are, and having the courage to take a risk on something (and someone!) that might make you really happy. 

I read this on a kindle unlimited trial but have a feeling I’ll be buying my own copy so I can reread it even when my trial expires… and probably checking out the author’s other books too.
