This story is sexy and fun, with great characters that I just loved.First, I really like the story. It's unique and it was fun to see religion play such a part, but in a positive, open way. It's a fun blend of Judaism and Christianity. Both Christmas and Hanukkah are portrayed several times. I really appreciated this part, because I don't see it nearly enough in fiction.Becca is a great character. She's sweet and witty, but she's had a lot of struggles in her past. I love that she learns to move past them and discover what she wants out of life. She knows she wants Jeremy, but is still hesitant for a while. This is completely understandable, given the situation, and it's portrayed very well. I don't feel like she was "hung up" on her ex-husband and she really grew as a character, despite a short number of pages.Jeremy is a great hero. He's a cop, so he's obviously a good guy, but he's a great human, too. He's sweet and attentive to Becca. He's obviously wanted more out of her for five-plus years and his happiness about finally being able to be with her is real. He's not overly dominant outside of the bedroom, which is also a welcome change from so many books these days.I think this would have been a perfect story to stretch a little longer. I would have liked to see their relationship grow a little more, maybe hear the "L word" before the end. It is, however, a great sexy holiday love story.
