If you’re looking for a not too gushy Christmas romance this book is for you. 
This books is about mid-life romances & the friends that see you through it all. 
I enjoyed reading about an older heroine who despite our age difference- she was still chasing her dreams , figuring out love and hanging with friends. These ladies are juggling this all , starting business that they care about  and being mothers to college aged children.

This Christmas read is quick and easy to listen to. This novella is narrated by Maria Marquis and I thought her pacing and narration effectively told the story. 

While this book is the 2nd book in a series it can be read as a standalone.

Tropes: Small-Town romance; grumpy x grumpy , forced proximity due to injury, learning to love again, second-chance at a forever love.
