I loved the premise of this book, and it's a cute Christmas/new years story- however I do not buy the fact that Holly did not know Connors secret- her literal best friend is a season ticket holder and would not say anything to her friend - I am a passing baseball fan (used to be super into) and you talk (complain) about things so if I could take that out of equation then I would love it but I have a hard time with that anyway.......Holly amd Connor are off to spend Christmas with her family they have been dating for 16 month and its the first time meeting and it seems to be an idelic Christmas with Holly's brother and sister and their families and kids - Holly and Connor love each other and they are both feeling they are each other's end game however Conner's got a secret and Holly isn't going to ba happy after the perfect Christmas- everything goes down hill but will everything be ok by the time the ball drops? - could definitely see this as a movie for sure -- little spice too and brother Brad is fun!

A holiday romance with a side of baseball - What more could a girl ask for? Truthfully what drew me into this story was the author's letter. Hearing her explain why this book mattered made me want to read more. It was a steamy and sweet holiday romance - And I loved that it had both. It's the story of a couple, but also some great stuff with family and the holidays. It was just a great seasonal read y'all! Thanks to NetGalley for the look at this December 2024 release!

Such a fun and festive book. Hill crafted great characters, and I liked the story a lot. I found it to be fast-paced and difficult to put down! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
