In this Christmas novella, Jack and Ethan struggle with the world's reaction and a long distance relationship due to Ethan's exile. I loved all their sweetness and fluffiness - the interactions, the texts and phone calls. Their love for each other is wonderful, and they remained steadfast despite a load of judgey crap. Steamy times are *steamy*! And it's lovely to see Ethan's Secret Service friends supporting them. There's also angst, politics and suspense but Jack and Ethan's romance stands out, and I loved every moment of them together. Romance at its best!
