Second Chances by Kiska Gray
3.0

This started out great (second chance holiday romance with a single father, a kitten, and cuddling), but the whole religious guilt plotline was too much for me, and in the end some of the emotional scenes seemed rushed.

Also, this isn't the novella's fault, but I really wish romance stories didn't automatically come with sex scenes, or at least there was an indication about it in the blurb or something. I keep accidentally picking up stories that have sex and then I feel like I shouldn't be upset because what was I expecting, really.

This doesn't apply to the books I already own, but for new reads I think I'll make an effort to pick up books only if 1) I know for sure that there are no sex scenes, 2) I know for sure that there ARE sex scenes, so I can decide when to read it and it's not a surprise.
