Christmas in Rose Bend

3.5/5 - This story was sooooo close to having everything that I wanted. Christmas definitely played as the main character. There were activities such as a tree lighting ceremony, Santa race, Christmas tree decorating contest, etc. I ate all of that up. However, Nessa (FMC) was such a Debbie Downer that she soured the enjoyment of the story. I understand she was going through a huge amount of grief from losing loved ones, but it put a bad taste in my mouth. However, Wolf (MMC) was my type of guy. He was a man's man! He was instantly attracted to Nessa and made sure she knew that. This was a slow burn which I was actually here for.
