From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone who gave us A Merry Little Meet Cute comes a new festive romcom – ’tis the season for second chances!

Sunny Palmer has returned to Christmas Notch in search of some festive inspiration for her screenplay.

Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town’s historic mansion. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace?

But after they wake up together in Sunny’s dilapidated motel room after a wild night, Isaac takes a chance and asks her to stay at his place and they make a deal: they will both try to get the other’s creative juices flowing again.

With these two opposites under one roof, there’s no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script…right?

It's always fun returning to Christmas Notch, which must be filled with the horniest people in America!

This was pure filth, but with a compelling story around the oodles of sexual tension,  chemistry and actual bonking!

We finally get Isaac Kelly's story,  the final member of INK who has real heartbreak in his past which affects everything he does or doesn't do. 

And it was good getting to know Sunny too, and their working together to find out more about a real life Christmas miracle was really sweet. 

Add in a demon cat and a happy ending for another of the regular characters in this series and you have a brilliant final book in the series.

It's hot,  it's fun,  and it's just incredibly readable. Loved this a lot,  and highly curious to see if the writers will team up again in the future.

Thank you to HarperCollins and Netgalley for this book that I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
