Okay, I'm not typically a slow burn kind of person. But it was done so beautifully that I may have just been converted to the dark side. Sapphic slow burn, childhood best friends to lovers might be my new favorite genre. 

Morgan as the sweet, but closed off big city girl juxtaposed with the hot lumberjack childhood best friend Rachel is perfection. This whole story reads as a Hallmark movie in the best way possible. A failing Christmas tree farm and small vacation town that needs to be saved from the corporate overtake? Yes please. Woman who ran away from her hometown, but is now it's last hope? Sign me up. Unresolved tension from old lovers and years of pining? What more could a girl ask for. 

The characters were well written and authentic. The setting was beautifully illustrated and perfect for the plot. The plot was well paced, and formulaic in a comforting way. Courtney Kae is a very talented romance author, and this book was everything I could have asked for. Go get in the holiday spirit.
