Another fun and enjoyable read from an author I knew little of. I liked the first book fine, although had a few issues with it, and the same goes for this one.

I actually preferred this book to the first one because I liked the characters far more. Grumpy, bearded Adam was charming and mysterious with him becoming a little bit of a recluse in the mountains. I found his moods and temper a little grating but he was an interesting character whose past I wanted to explore, but it was Kitty I liked best. She was awkward when it came to interviews and she was passionate about film but also a really nice person. She was probably a little too nice, it made it easy for others to take advantage, but she wasn't unafraid to stand up for herself when it came to the likes of Adam. 

I think the relationship between Kitty and Adam is what made it for me. Adam may have been in serious denial about falling for Kitty but Kitty was so sweet and so willing to fall for Adam and they didn't always get along but they just had such good chemistry. I loved them together.

I think my only problem with the book is I noticed how long it took me to read. There was something stopping me from being utterly absorbed in the story and that's never a good thing. The book was enjoyable but I think maybe it could have lost about fifty pages because when a romance is closer to 400 than 300 I know it's gonna be packed with too much 'will they won't they' and that's annoying.

It was an enjoyable read that missed being better for no specific reasons, but it did. I loved getting lost in a Christmas read when it was 23C outside, it's just how I roll.
