It's weird going back with Jack and Ethan to see their first Christmas together after the story had moved on in time at the end of book one.

But it's also a really sweet insight into how they made their long distance relationship work after Ethan got banished to Iowa.

There's also a nice little side plot with an investigation into counterfeiting which takes a sideways turn into an FBI murder case while Ethan deals with his local chief not wanting him there.

Their actual Christmas together is seriously sweet and emotionally satisfying.
