I love Christmas.
So much so that in my smalltown I’m known as The Queen of Christmas.
And no one knows holiday festivities quite like Strawberry Hollow.

Only this Christmas season delivers an unexpected twist in the form of Wyatt Owens.
The handsome single father of my new student…
Who just so happens to also be my first love.

The one who broke my heart all those years ago.

I haven’t seen Wyatt since he left our hometown behind, but a piece of my heart has always been his.
And all those old feelings come rushing back the moment we see each other again.
Only now the boy I once loved is a charming, delicious and intoxicating man.

One I’m not sure I can resist.

Especially when neither of us can deny his daughter Lucy’s holiday wish- for the three of us to compete together as a team in Strawberry Hollow’s Annual Christmas List tradition.

At first, he’s determined to win every festive challenge on the list but the more things we check off, the more it seems like he wants to win me instead.
Soon things are heating up between us, and suddenly I find myself at risk of falling… for my ex.

But I’m not sure I could survive the heartbreak of losing him again.
Is this just a holiday fling…
Or is this the second chance I’ve always secretly hoped for?

My Thoughts

If you’re a fan of small town, second chance romances, you should definitely read this book. After coming back to his hometown, Wyatt can’t believe that his daughter’s kindergarten teacher is his first love. He’s regretted leaving the town and her behind all along. As a fan of second chance romances, even though this is a novella, it really lays on the emotional punch.

I want to thank Valentine PR & Literary Mgmt and the author for allowing me to read and review this book.
