I will be up front and say, friends to lovers trope is not my jam.  I will always and forever stan enemies to lovers.  However, this book was fabulous.  If all friends to lovers had the chemistry these two MCs had, I might be a convert. Borison wrote this in a way that you could feel the love between these two, you could picture yourself in Stella's living-room with her feet under Luka's legs.  It was beautifully done, especially since the "Small town Christmas tree farm" story is overrun with Hallmark castoffs.  This book is above and beyond Hallmark movie status! I DO wish it was a little more explicit, the bonus chapter was *chefs kiss*! But I also realize that's not everyone's cup of tea.
