nobody is sadder than me at this outcome but this really didn't do anything for me

Start was a bit slow and not really interesting but it REALLY picked up a few pages in. I wish men working through their trauma were real Also this featured some fantasies that I didn't know I had. Interesting

After loving Get a Life Chloe Brown, I knew I had to read another book from Talia Hibbert ASAP and I’m so happy I picked this as my next read! It was PERFECT for the Holidays!!! Her writing style is so fun, witty, refreshing and I love how British it is! Cash and Baileys love story was super heartwarming, sweet and uplifting. The perfect book to get you in the Christmas spirit!

This was a good read

The last read of 2021! This was the Christmas story I was looking for! No, I wouldn't considered it overly Christmas-y but at least there was reminders throughout the book that this was taking place during Christmas time lol. I loved the tough on the outside, soft on the inside guy falling for the shy on the outside, but sexy and independent girl! I liked the communication they had, though at times it definitely fell apart, at least it all came together in the end again. I liked the side stories, including the one about helping her homeless friend get on his feet and Cash's family background. BTW did anyone else get the vibe the Gem was trans or is that just me? Anyway I really thought these two worked well together and was happy to end the year 2021 with a HEA and two people finding that they deserve love! TW: Verbal abuse of the homeless, death of a parents, semi-detailed description of an abuse relationship (pedophilic in nature)

3 Stars Pretty decent romance! The story felt short and I think I would have liked more plot, but if you're looking for something short and fluffy, (with some smut thrown in) then this is the Christmasy book for you!

I always wish these books were more developed in content and longer. They’re always so short. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book. Cash is an interesting name. 3.5/5 stars.

When Bailey finds herself quitting her much needed barista job in protest over the owner's treatment of a John, a homeless person, she's stunned to find the sexy red-haired, tattooed, white boy she's been flirting with over his coffee order jumping into the fray. Cash Evans tried to limit his visit to Bailey's work, as he's firmly enchanted by the adorable black girl, and he's afraid if he pursues anything futher he'll end up obsessed with her. But, he can't help but offer her a job at his tattoo parlor and help her friend John find a place to live and also a job. The beautiful spirit of Bailey, which he thought had to be too good to be true, turns out to be even better as he gets to know her. But, the demons from Cash's past prevent him from committing or pursuing anything real. But, the spirit of the season and true love can't keep these two from falling for each other. Lovely and steamy holiday novella, with excellent writing and great secondary characters. I'll read anything Talia Hibbert puts out.!

I very much enjoyed this book.
