I definitely enjoyed reading this short holiday story. It was fun, easy to read and quite relaxing. And as an added bonus, it definitely put me in a Christmas mood.
Jason and Leah are really great characters and their story caught my attention from the beginning :) Jason is definitely fun I have to say that quite often he put himself in situations that really made me laugh. I mean, come on, the carolers incident was just epic and I am not even going to talk about the toy trucks. That was just insanely funny :D. At the same time both characters are shown as amazing parents, ready to do everything for their young daughters, and that just makes them even more lovable in my book. Especially considering their difficult pasts.
Jason and Leah are so alike and they just fit perfectly together. I immensely enjoyed their interactions through the time they had to spend together. The little ways they were showing their affection towards each other was just so romantic :) I think my favorite moment was the epilogue when they are together with the kids. It was just the perfect ending of this sweet romantic story :)
In a few words, the story is fun to read and I definitely enjoyed it. In a way, everything was a bit cheesy, but definitely amusing and entertaining. I definitely recommend the book for those cold winter nights when you need your mood lifted. But keep in mind that you are really getting a sweet romantic Christmas story :)
Thank you so much for sharing the release of The Perfect Gift and for such a lovely review! I'm very happy you enjoyed the story.
