All I Want for Christmas Is You by Miranda Liasson
5.0

All I Want for Christmas is You by Miranda Liasson is my favorite of the Angel Falls series so far. This time we are getting Rafe and Kaitlyn’s story. These two have been featured in both the previous books of the series, so I knew their story was coming. But y’all….it was SO much better than I expected.

The book opens with Kaitlyn Barnes finding out she is pregnant. The father….her best friends’ little brother, who also happens to be her friend. Naturally she is freaking out. Not about being a mother, but losing her friends and telling Rafe. I love Kaitlyn. The idea of being a mother doesn’t scare her at all. She’s even a little excited, albeit puzzled that it could happen using two forms of birth control and all. Yet she worries about Rafe, who has actively avoided her since they were together at the wedding. They crossed a line that they can’t uncross in their friendship, and the fallout scares Kaitlyn.

Rafe Langdon is the younger brother of the Langdon sisters. He’s a first responder/firefighter and a love them and leave them kinda guy. However sleeping with Kaitlyn was a mistake. It brings up feelings he’s not ready to admit he has. After losing his fiancé in a car crash years earlier, he swore off women. But Kaitlyn makes him remember what it is like to love someone which scares him and why he has been avoiding him.

Overall I loved All I Want for Christmas is You. Rafe and Kaitlyn are such a good fit. The story and how their relationship evolves is sweet. These are two best friends learning how they fit together. If you enjoy sweet, contemporary romance, I highly recommend it.
