You know what I like the most when devouring this book?

The slow burn!

I usually hate slow burn, but not this time.
I really enjoying the growing feeling between the MC's from the start and I can feel the emotions growing in their relationship. So pure and innocence.
I'm so glad they don't jump into sex and wait for the right moment to come. And when it happen, gosh! It's worth to wait and beautiful...

But even I said earlier that I like this story, there's also some part that couldn't satisfied me, there's no 'solutions' for the problems that caused the major scenes in this story. That's WHY I decide to deduct my ratings from solid four to three.

But if you love all christmassy stories, this book definitely will light up your holidays.
