I'm impressed with how much I enjoyed this. Ngl, the theme of this book was one of those universally disliked tropes: the heroine overheard something and jumped to grumpy (second chance requiring) conclusions instead of asking the hero about it.

But the fact that I read this in a day and am still giving it four stars despite such an annoying trope shows how good everything else about it was.

The characters were fun, their flaws and internal monologues compelling. Love a snowed-in second chance romance. And it was festive, in a jaded rake kind of way.
