Naughty & Nice (Love Notes Book 2) by DJ Jamison ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

Jonas can't seem to forget his ex-stepbrother Quinn. After sharing a fleeting kiss on Christmas Eve four years ago, Jonas has held on to the memory and can't let go of his feelings for Quinn.

After Jonas rescues Quinn in a snow storm, they end up trapped together at Jonas's dad's cabin. Forced to spend time together alone, can they each put aside their baggage and rediscover their past connection?

I loved how Jonas doted on Quinn throughout the book and made him feel loved, but also gave him the space he needed to grow and learn to love himself again after his past bad relationship.

There were lots of both sweet and steamy moments in this book and you could really feel the connection grow between the two main characters. The only thing I wish is that we got to see Quinn's talk with his mum, it felt like it was built up throughout the book but then we never got to read the actual scene.

Overall, this book is a great Christmas read, giving off plenty of cosy, wintery vibes. I would have equally enjoyed reading it any other time of the year but the Christmas theme did make it extra special.
