3.0

I’m going to start by saying I enjoyed this. It was hot and cute, though not really that christmasy. I liked Margo and Finn, along with the side characters even though they weren’t featured massively they still made it great. It also had more plot than I expected.

All that said, it was a lot longer than it needed to be. I was expecting a short (100-150 page) novella with a lot of spice and a lot of christmas. It ended up being a short book (200 pages) that was more about running than christmas. By 50% I was kind of ready for it to wrap up. I just wanted a bit of confrontation/drama, and then I was good. 

That’s the last thing, the confrontation. He’s dating his son’s ex, and yet the confrontation is so underwhelming?

Honestly, if this hadn’t been $5 I probably would have liked it more. Yes, it's on KU now, but not when I bought it, and I was impatient.
