My Kind of Christmas

I randomly grabbed this book while it was free because of the cover (<3) with the added bonus that this is a friends-to-lovers romance (which is my absolute favorite trope if done well). I knew nothing about it, didn't even check the Goodreads reviews first. And it turned out really well.

I love the fact that they talk. They talk so much and they have conversations that I'm not used to seeing - but I think that comes from being best friends. Because I could feel that and I love how casually they are in each other's space all the time. (And the constant reiteration that it's ‘them, just them'.)

I'm not really the biggest fan of meddling family's in my romances, and I really didn't like how in the book the meddling family provided both the entire amount of angst as well as the forward momentum for the romance. I would have just preferred that the romance start more naturally.

I will be checking out more books by this author - even if they tend towards having my most hated covers for gay romance (shirtless men).
