"You can run, Little Scott, but I'm always going to catch you."
OK, so if Hallmark and HBO had a baby, this would be it!
This was such a cute, sweet, brother's-best-friend Christmas romance that had all the spice!
I love, love, loved that the FMC was a curvy girl who had some body insecurities and the MMC worshipped every inch of her. Their nicknames for each other and the banter with little bits of Christmas fun sprinkled throughout were absolutely perfect!
The family dynamic and relationship mending was amazing too. I need more from all of the characters! Like a full length novel!
I also loved the dedication for the book: "For all my Ho Ho Ho's who made the naughty list and wished that Hallmark movies came with spice. XO, Santa"
