My Thoughts: 5/5 stars – Being a novella it’s harder to give a review without spoiling any of the fun! At just under 100 pages, Serena does not waste a single one of them getting into the spicy holiday activities. Morgan needed time away from her family and Piotr wasn’t expecting to run into someone like her at the bar, but here they are and off they go. The banter and chemistry was great between the two of them. When the tropes mention age gap, they mean it and this is mostly spice and not a ton of plot. Who cares when this is what you’re picking up a dark romance novella for. Now I need to go look up more of Serena’s backlist!
