This was a very cute Christmas story, although there was a bit too much focus on the (very precocious) child rather than the couple for my liking. The character development and background of the heroes was very well-done; they felt like realistic and fully fleshed-out characters. I really liked how weird Wes was and how Adam was openly sensitive and emotional.

I think I would have liked this more if it wasn’t supposed to be a Christmas romance. Because tbh it wasn’t very Christmasy. Change the lights into something else and this could have taken place literally any other time of year. It was cute though, even if the MCs moved inexplicably fast into commitment, especially with a child in the picture. Speaking of the child, kids in romance books are tricky to get right, and I think this author wrote Gus very well. I had a good time reading it overall

The love interest has a lot of spiders, lizards and snakes which comes up often.
