Super cute story about just how wrong first impressions can be. Fate can be a funny thing, especially when it uses a blind date app to match you with your brother's best friend. I love that Kenzie wants to show Andrew what is so great about Christmas. They really do have amazing chemistry & I love how long Andrew waits until they know before crossing that line. That weekend away was hot, hot, hot.

Cute story full of heartwarming moments. With Brandon & his Dad as well as Jade & Amber. I loved the fact that after everything from high school, Jade was such a strong & independent adult.

Amber hires Brandon as their "Santa" to bring in crowds but also unbeknownst to Jade to be extra security since odd things continue to happen around the ranch. Amber doesn't know about Jade's less than ideal youth of being bullied & that Brandon was one of the few people who stepped in, which caused her to crush hard on him.
