So This Is Christmas by Jenny Holiday

There’s a reason this book has a lower rating, it is dry. I HIGHLY enjoyed books one and two in this series and recommend going to go read those and skip over this one.

I never felt any chemistry between Cara and Matteo. They had an initial enemies vibe that kind of turned into a forced proximity angle, so the tropes are there, but between them? NOTHIN’. I can barely remember much about either of them at this point too.

The plot was nothing surprising either. There’s some holiday flair and I liked how things worked out in the end for Eldovia. Sleigh rides and skiing were good wintery moments that I’ll admit, had some charm.

This wasn’t it. I don’t really have much to say because nothing happened you wouldn’t suspect from the get-go. Everything felt forced.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Holiday Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 2-3 open door; med-high explicit
- Trigger/Content Warnings: mentions of a parent with a gambling addiction
