Wesley enjoys every interaction he has with his grumpy neighbor, even if Hunter never seems all that interested. Because Hunter has plans to leave town, and Wesley has one last chance to capture the spark between them even if it means only for the holidays.
From the blurb:
When a cinnamon-roll bookseller meets the coffee shop grouch next door, sparks (and snowflakes) fly in Wishing Tree, Vermont.
In the small town of Wishing Tree, Vermont, Wesley has broken free from the golden cage of his wealthy family’s expectations. Now, he’s hiding away in his beloved bookstore, a cozy haven filled with stories that warm the soul. But his greatest joy? Showing the grumpy coffee shop owner next door that life doesn’t have to be so serious—especially at Christmas.
Hunter never planned to trade lectures on history for steaming lattes and frothy cappuccinos. But when a sudden twist of fate lands him in Vermont, running a coffee shop he inherited, he buries himself in the daily grind, determined to avoid messy emotions—and the annoyingly cheerful bookstore owner who seems intent on dragging him out of his shell.
Wesley’s relentless charm and holiday spirit clash with Hunter’s stubborn pragmatism, sparking irritation, banter, and undeniable chemistry. Underneath the tension, stolen kisses and quiet moments reveal a connection that feels like the season’s magic.
But just as their love begins to bloom, a twist of fate threatens to pull them apart. With Christmas fast approaching, can Wesley and Hunter overcome the odds and find their happily ever after? Or will their story end before the final snowflake falls?
SNik's review:
Third in series (Wishing Tree, Vermont), but can be read as a standalone. Small town. Neighbors. Grumpy/sunshine. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV.
Bookstore owner Wesley has been crushing on his coffee shop owner neighbor for more than a year, but Hunter has plans to leave their small town as soon as he can. As Wesley keeps knocking on Hunter’s walls, can he give up his dreams of becoming a history professor at a large university if it means keeping the special joy of Wesley in his life.
Time is ticking down for Wesley to have a chance with Hunter, both men facing obstacles and hardships in their future plans, but Wesley continues his pursuit for Hunter’s affection so bravely and completely. Once they finally start something they both know might end, it is a sweet fall into the spirit of the holidays and finding joy and love. There are some cameos from the author’s other series which have created a found family to support Hunter and Wesley and a peek at some possible future characters that may find love. Overall a sweet holiday read.
