This is a sweet confection of a holiday novella, with a plethora of my favorite tropes &#8211; second chance, snowed in, and only one bed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s Christmas and Mary and Joseph have no room at an inn!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Joseph and Mary met at the wedding of her younger stepbrother, Deon. After a one-night-stand, he\u2019s baffled when she leaves the next morning without a word to him. Five years later, they end up seated next to each other on a flight to Deon\u2019s home for Christmas &#8211; and when a storm grounds them in Charlotte, they&#8217;re forced to share a cabin with only one bed&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe last time we shared a bed, it didn\u2019t go well\u2014\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI thought it went very well,\u201d\u00a0he said, his voice soft, but it might as well have been a bellow the way his words affected her. \u201cIt was the morning after that wasn\u2019t so great.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For a novella, Mary and Joseph both have a lot of emotional depth. Mary&#8217;s a curvy Black pharmacologist, nerdy, smart and with a sharp sense of humor. Joseph is an adorable cinnamon roll pilot who&#8217;s carried a torch for Mary ever since their night together, and he&#8217;s not going to let the holiday end without getting an answer as to why she ghosted him. I loved how Mary both demanded an explanation for the event while also\u00a0acknowledging that she was ashamed of her reaction &#8211; running away and ghosting Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Since this is a Christmas novella, there&#8217;s also the requisite holiday jokes &#8211; the Mary and Joseph ones were especially funny to me &#8211; as well as a dysfunctional family confrontation. But all ends well, of course, and we&#8217;re left with a happy family Christmas and a sweet epilogue.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this book is short, sweet and perfectly Christmasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CW: I initially picked this up because of the gorgeous cover, and I was well rewarded.
