Disappointment. Holiday-specific books always seem a bit rushed, but this one was just so boring! The hero and heroine spend barely a few pages together by page 150. They think about each other a lot, but moments in each others company isn't enough to build a good romance novel. Too many misunderstandings and assumptions are the core of the story tension. Tedious at best.
