I was gifted an advanced copy this book in exchange for an honest review.

It all starts with Wynter and Zaydon, on their Christmas wedding day. Wynter is missing her soon to be husband and cannot find her best friend / maid of honor. She decides she wants to see her fiancé but instead, what she finds is betrayal from her two most important people. When she becomes the runaway bride, she crashes right into her soon to be father in law which also happens to be her own father’s best friend and someone she grew up with. They run off together, drunkenly get married and decide to temporarily stick it out for business purposes. The story then goes on to play out during their time as a married couple.

I love the idea of the story. I do wish however, that her new lover (Zaydon’s daddy) was not also her dad’s best friend and that he didn’t only call her “Sugarplum” or “wife”. Those things made it a little cringe for me. If it had been a partial stranger I feel it would have been much hotter.

I feel there was a lot of repeating the same thing over and over. Almost the author was trying to drive the point across by saying something a few times in different ways. I think this made the book more of a slow burn.

Throughout the book, Wynter is ridiculously dramatic and annoying. a tantruming teen girl. It was hard to get attached to either character because they were so cringy. Without a connection and all of the cringe, I struggled to finish. I think it’s safe to say, this wasn’t the book for me.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review12 s Lexi M1 review

I really struggled with wanting to write this review or not, but ultimately, I agreed to when signing up for it.

**This is just my personal opinion.**

I received this as an ARC, and was SO excited. (My first one!) The tropes and synopsis were so promising….

Immediately impression was it reads a teenage diary. I thought, ok, I can get over that. Then there was punny winter/holiday humor, fine I can appreciate a theme and some laughs.

Then they made it to the cruise ship. She’s suddenly prudish when seeing the toys his company makes?? Then the moment he unnecessarily started threatening to unalive the restaurant staff without provocation, had me thinking “I won’t finish this”, and then he he said “make it snappy” to the waiter, and that was my final straw.

The age gap and relationship could have been good, but the backstory of being her dead dads bff, and has coveted her since she was an ACTUAL child was a little
