CNC is a controversial topic at best, but that aside, the back story seemed disjointed. It almost seemed like the spice/camp was decided upon first and then the plot created to try and make that make sense, instead of the plot being first and then spice/camp being a piece of that. A character that can only org*sm when engaged in CNC is an icky criteria at best, but also made the relationship seem less believable/interesting because it is one-dimensional. Not the worst, but not for me.

This was a really good entry into the series. I think it expanded the world of the series a lot, the spice was well done and there was a lot more diversity in this book than the previous two.

I enjoyed the starcrossed lovers type of story, but the explanation of the conflict seemed a lot weaker in this one than the first one. I think it flowed very well with continuity from the first book.
I’m withholding a review of this title in support of the HarperCollins Union strike.

This book was a nice Christmas reconciliation romance. I enjoyed the characters and the subplot that runs parallel through the story. The romance was incredibly sweet. However, it loses all stakes because the character is very clear from the beginning that she is asking for this divorce to get him to change his behavior, not because she intends to go through with it. Overall it seems like that trivializes all the choices she is making because she is often talking about if certain choices are too far and she intends for them to work.
It was a good story but not really a Krampus story. The Krampus piece seemed to be cornholed in to make it a Christmas story, but it didn't serve much purpose.
