Ooh,
I’ve been waiting for this book and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed.
Here’s what’s going on. Jill Flaherty
has been in love with her brother’s best friend for most of her life and now
that she’s turning thirty, she’s finally decided to let Sawyer in on her
feelings. Sawyer has earned his reputation as a player but he’s decided it’s
time to settle down and when Jill walks into his bar wearing a sexy red dress,
he’s finally seeing her as more than just his best friend’s kid sister. When
their relationship finally heats up, Sawyer has to prove that he’s finally
ready to settle down.
Okay,
so I’m not going to lie, I plowed through chapter one only to get stuck on
chapter two. I had trouble getting into
the second chapter and for some reason—perhaps because the hockey game—it felt
a bit choppy to be. Although, thankfully, chapter three picked back up and I
was hooked until the end.
Sawyer
has always piqued my interest. He’s Jack’s best friend and there’s an interesting
bit of history between Grace (Jack’s wife) and Sawyer. He’s earned his
reputation as a player but he finally realizes that he wants to settle down and
have a family. Jill’s always been one of my favorite Christmas, Colorado
heroines. She’s very independent and she’s also a workaholic. I was so glad
when she finally confessed her love for Sawyer and decided to act upon it.
The
romance between Sawyer and Jill was slow burn, they really didn’t start anything
until the end of chapter 15 yet they had this amazing chemistry. And I liked that their
relationship felt real. They struggled and really had to work through a lot to
finally get their HEA.
It’s
always lovely to revisit the Christmas, Colorado. The residents are a bit
meddling so I’m always intrigued to see what they come up with.
So,
this is part of a series yet each book does work as a standalone. I’ve been
slowly trying to catch up on this series and I haven’t felt like I’ve missed
anything from not having read the entire series.
Overall,
I really enjoyed Sawyer and Jill’s story. They went through highs and low and I
really felt for them.
