Review:
Phew–what a read! This is one heck of a trope-fest: virgin heroine, secret baby, marriage of convenience, and enemies-to-lovers, all in one Christmas-set story…
Gabe spent a good portion (50% plus) of the book being a complete jerk. Yes, he had a reason for it at first, but with all the attempts that Abby had made to let him know about the consequences of their one night stand it felt like it wasn’t all 100% justified. And then his jealousy of her friendship with the groundskeeper…? and his constant ignoring her…? it made it really hard to like him for quite a bit of the book. If you looked up alpha-hole hero, I’m pretty sure you’d find his picture.
Still, he eventually gets his head out of his butt and we get to an HEA for everyone (thank goodness!) and you can almost forget what a complete and total jerk he was.
Almost.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars / C+
