Blowing a guy dressed as Santa at a glory hole and ended up snowed in with him? Say less! This was fun and such a good time.

Oh my, someone get the brother The Brother of the Year Award! The novella got very exciting when the trussed up yuletide goose showed up.

Aww, sad it's over. The wild ride has concluded but I think there are off-shoot novellas for other members of the club. The couple has come far from misunderstandings to full acceptance and respect. What a journey.
dark hopeful tense fast-paced

Oooh so many threads to follow in this, just need to see what else is next. They're having separate adventures, with permission of course.

Dun dun dunnnnn, the follow up then this also ends on a cliff hanger. I loved the grittiness of it when there were miscommunication angsts but then they start to share and move the relationship forward

Ahhh! It's serialised so ends on a cliff hanger, you gotta go get the next one. Love the premise of the gruffy biker daddy going after the prim and proper bank teller. Lots of drama in this

I can't read YA and be mad at them for behaving as expected can I? It took me a while to get into the story because I found the main characters insufferable but I did love their crushes and slow developing romance and friendship. I enjoyed the medieval setting and realism but ultimately it left me unsatisfied.

Definitely a sweeter side of Jessa Kane in terms of story, with candle light dinners and getting eaten for dessert. I love the proactive heroine going after what she wants and being the driver in this relationship.

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I like the idea and the premise, the world is interesting and the group banding together going on an adventure while getting to know each other. But it was like a melting pot of mixed ideas that didn't work for me.

I did appreciate the representation and the heroine's duality of identities and her struggles. It did have many sweet moments

Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for the review copy.

Does what it says on the tin but there's an instant climax love potion and pine needles got some action too.
