Set in the picturesque town of Snowfall Valley, Vermont, this story perfectly captures the magic of the season while delivering a steamy, heartfelt romance that will leave you smiling long after the final page.

Emily Sawyer is the kind of heroine you root for from the start—resilient, relatable, and quietly harboring a crush on Luke Caldwell, her best friend’s older brother. When life forces her back to Snowfall Valley, it’s not just her bookstore or apartment she’s rebuilding—it’s her sense of home and belonging. Enter Luke, the charming, protective firefighter who proves that sometimes the one who got away was right there all along. The chemistry between Emily and Luke is pure holiday magic. Their shared history makes every interaction feel layered and meaningful, and the slow burn of their romance is beautifully paced. From tender moments in Snowfall Valley to the heat of being snowed in together at Luke’s cabin, their connection feels authentic and electric. The small-town holiday vibes add an extra layer of coziness to an already delightful read.

If you love holiday romances with second chances, forced proximity, and the irresistible best friend’s older brother trope, this book is a must-read. All I Want for Christmas Is My Best Friend’s Older Brother is a feel-good story about rediscovering love, finding home in unexpected places, and embracing the happiness you truly deserve. It’s the perfect book to curl up with by the fire, preferably with a mug of hot cocoa in hand!
