Merry Kismet by Anneka R. Walker
4.0

I love a good feel good Hallmark Christmas movie vibe book and this is definitely that vibe. I also love a good second chance romance. In this book we meet Brie and Rockwell. They dated in high school but Rockwell broke Brie's heart when he broke up with her and left town. Now he is back and they are spending time together. Before he returned Brie made a Christmas list and put "I want Rockwell Davenport for Christmas." Do wishes really come true?

I liked the characters and how Rockwell wanted Brie reach her dreams. Brie was supportive of Rockwell and they complimented each other well. There was also cute banter between them that made me smile. Rockwell was sweet and even though he had his reasons for leaving, he felt really bad and wanted to make it up to Brie. Brie was a sweet and forgiving person and didn't hold any grudges.

The narrators were great and I love a dual POV in a romance book. 4/5 stars for narration, 3.75 stars rounded up for storyline of book.

Listen to this book if you enjoy:
* cinnamon roll MMC
* second chance romance
* hallmark movie vibes
* small town romance
* dual POV
* fake dating (sort of)
