Melissa is a hard working career woman she left her small town shortly after high school and hasn't looked back she's been happy with her life in the big city she is moving up the corporate ladder she works long hours but it will be all worth it when she gets that promotion she's after, she has a few really great friends in the city and she has a situationship with a guy who is going places... so why does her apartment all of a sudden feel so empty?
Getting talked into returning home for the holidays Thanksgiving and then again on Christmas she has time to re-think her life choices while she continues to run into her high school rival Asher... it's not fair that he's so handsome... he and his friends made her senior year a nightmare and it's coming back to the surface being around him more, but maybe he's not as bad as he originally seemed when she gets stuck working on a holiday project with her nemesis sparks start to fly and just maybe she wants to see him after their project ends.
Melissa begins to let down her walls and actually enjoy her time in her home town but did she drop her guard too soon? Asher is holding something big back from her and keeps changing the topic when she tries to bring it up can they truly make a real relationship work or is this just a holiday fling?
This book was full of heart and humor I truly enjoyed this holiday romance it reminded me of a hallmark romance in all the best ways. I loved the side characters and there were some really great moments of growth where our FMC leaned into harder conversations to move forward in her relationships.
Asher really proves throughout the book that he's not the same teenage boy who made poor decisions when it came to Melissa and I was rooting for them to end up together.
I enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to the next in the series!
