I can't quite pin point what it was, but I had a hard time getting into this one. It was also steamier than I was expecting, which isn't a bad thing, it just took me by surprise. Part of it was probably the insta-love-ish part of the plot, which isn't my favorite trope in romances. Give me the slow burn over that any day. I like the anticipation.

It's a cute holiday romance, though! I enjoyed how both Greta and Truman found what they were looking for by swapping houses. There's some more emotional tones, but overall, it's an upbeat, happy romance.
