5/5 stars

I just devoured this book and I couldn't love it more. Falon Ballard is one of my favorite authors and I go into her books knowing I'm going to love the banter, humor, amazing settings, steam and character growth. This book was no different and I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas time romance book.

I loved that the main characters are named Nick and Jess (still watching New Girl for the first time but love it), they are both romance authors and they are snowed in at a gorgeous Christmas time hotel with one bed (all the best troupes). I am one of the few that LOVE second chance romances and how people come back together so this one hit close to home and made me to happy to see the growth of the characters. 

The steam is so well written and I loved the ending! 

Read this book if you love: 
-just one bed
-Christmas time romances
-second chance romance
-lots of author/romance author references
-pop culture refences
-amazing side characters (Jess' best friends)
