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. 

Jade & Amber own  reindeer ranch that needs some help. 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.

Another cute, funny & charming holiday story. I just love how Victoria Winters collects stray people into her family. The way Clark's son & brother were included as family made my heart grow!! 

Love that Clark & Merry first started falling before they knew who the other was. But that they still made a connection in person really solidified their friendship.

Loved this story. The way that Asher & Jessica met before he even started working with the team and then found out she was Luke's sister was great. I love the fact Jessica was still working with refugees after all these years even though she was told she couldn't help. Her tough guy facade is just that, a facade. She Worrall has a big heart. She just built up thick walls to protect herself.

Ex Military 

This is a great reminder to live life to the fullest. We are not promised tomorrow. What started as a one night stand turned into so much more. It triggered events that would shape their relationship and personal lives. 

Katie had a lot of hurt to get over & Drew had a lot of healing both physically & mentally he needed to do. But they both knew the other was important and neither wanted the other to stay away.

Blake really embodies the leadership role in both the military & in the boardroom. Loved getting his insight into both the military memories as well as some of the situations we learned about in book one.

Bec is really patient. She has a heart of gold but also a strong & confident side that I enjoyed learning about. I loved the girl gang that Bec & Trudy were accepted so readily into.

Love when curvy women are cherished and made to feel beautiful. Love the aspect of a clothing line just for curvy women and that it was booming.

Little do they know this meeting would boil over into their everyday lives when Adeline begins her new job as part of Xavier's business. The world is conspiring against them, but the universe is determined to push them together.

Mutal Pining

Social Anxiety Representation 

Romcom

A wholesome slow burn with a fun storyline. Loved delving into Everly's mannerisms and how she deals with social anxiety. Loved the concept of the listeners rallying for her in the radio version of Bachelorette. 

Chris' desire to execute his plan is really relatable. But like real life, things happen that either alter or change what those plans should look like. Having the courage to make changes is what helps us grow. 

I really loved how his brothers rallied for him and the chance for him to be happy. Chris and Stacey were perfect for Everly. They saw her anxiety but didn't treat her differently. It was a great story from beginning to end.

This was a great quick read. The pranks they pulled between each other were hilarious, and I wish I had a friend group like Rae. They were fantastic characters.

Rae & Jaxon meet the night Rae's divorce is final. After waking in Jaxons bed with everything a blank, she hurries out of his apartment before he wakes.

This leads to Jaxon assuming she stole his Grandma's ring. After discovering he is the new principal at Rae's school, accusations are made & a war begins.
