This was such a cute holiday novella! Cole becomes a single parent when his best friend passes away and leaves behind his young daughter. Bethany returns to Evergreen Lake and is grieving but wants to help her aunt. Cole and Bethany have a flirty and hot meet cute, and Bethany later becomes Cole's nanny. There was lots of spice, but it also had a great plot that kept me engaged and the pace and flow moved really well. Both Bethany and Cole have things they are struggling with, like Cole not believing he is good enough, while Bethany weighs the idea of pursuing someone who may not want to commit. There are heavier themes, like grief and loss, but the author deals with them so well. It's an emtional book, but in a good way, and well balanced with fun and spicy moments. I really enjoyed this novella and it's perfect for the holiday season!
