Love by the Slice

Solidly Short Sequel. This book is a direct sequel to the Christmas 2024 era book A Wood-Fired Christmas, and like that book, it works quite well indeed as a particularly short romance novella that manages to pack quite a bit of tale and even emotional heft in its short, sub 100 page, length.

Long time fans of Evans know what to expect, but for newbies - and this series *is* a great introduction to her style with minimal time commitments - Evans tends to write "clean" (I wouldn't go so far as to say "sweet", as they usually involve some level of emotional drama) somewhat off-beat or even quirky romances, and this one is absolutely that.

Here we get two well meaning people who come from very different backgrounds trying to figure out how to come together as a couple, along with the continuing escapades of the brother of one of them an the boss of all of them (including the brother)... who are both the couple featured in Wood Fired Christmas.

Overall truly a fun little romance book perfect for when you're just trying to make it to double digit books read by the end of the month (as I was, perfect timing Maddie!) or whenever you may have only a few spare minutes to read.

Very much recommended.
