Very Merry Married by M O’Keefe releasing November 3, 2021

 5 stars

This had some lightheartedness to it, even though it had some pretty deep feelings! And there was steam, and chemistry, and some madcap moments. It also had a line that melted me into a pile of goo, “you could easily marry a woman who fits into your life. But you need to marry a woman who is your life.’”. That is this book, two people who obviously connected, separated for a year, and now back together. Ethan’s memories may be fuzzy but his heart and soul know Lexie the moment he sees her. She has those memories and lifetime worth of hurt so not easily won over. Ethan is persistent, and Lexie learns to trust him, and they both prove to each other that Christmas miracles can happen <3
