Quick holiday story featuring two former co-workers who get together only to find out they both had a crush on each other years earlier. Takes place on Christmas Eve. There’s a lot of angst for a short story and it’s a slow burn as well. Both MC have a lot of personality. 

Story is written well, no grammatical errors. 

This book is just like a Hallmark movie - a little predictable (the two MCs both have love each other but neither will admit it), but just what you want to read at Christmas, very lighthearted, easy to read, just a fun small novella by an author I’ve yet to read before. The ending was a little abrupt for my liking - I would have liked to see a little more of them after they’re happily in love.  But if you’re looking for a  quick sweet yet spicy read this is it. 

I look forward to reading another book by this author again. 

Audiobook was over so quick I don’t have a lot of feelings about this one. Enjoyable quick palette cleanser. 

Every time I read one of May’s books I enjoy her writing even more. This one is a little different from her other books that I’ve read as there are ‘monster’ shapeshifters who are mostly all lovable. There was one I didn’t care for, but he was written that way so to not like him shows how good the writing is. 

There are nine main characters and nine points of view so there is a lot to follow. Most of the MMCs had very distinct voices and personalities but I kept getting two mixed up repeatedly. I could still easily follow the plot. 

There’s lots of fun steamy bits and the book features a poly relational including MM scenes. 

I had high hopes for this book and it was definitely as emotional as I expected considering one of the MMC suffered unimaginable trauma. Most of the book was spent dealing with that as he worked through what happened to him. As much as I like the realism of a character trying to heal as compared to Ward just making the pain disappear, it made for a sad, emotional and difficult book to get through. There was a HEA but it wasn’t terribly happy.  Too complex to explain without spoilers. I felt like there wasn’t a lot of romance in a romance book. 

Book started out strong but got so boring by the 3/4 mark. I normally enjoy King’s long-winded-ness but this was never ending repetitious garbage. And I couldn’t stand the FMC. Husband is an abusive alcoholic and she chooses to stay with him. 

This book was so slow and boring, with a twist that wasn’t a surprise at the end. I only finished because it’s a book club book.
