Caitlin can't believe it when her long time best friend not to mention guy she has been in love with forever drops to his knee and asks her to marry him. Unlucky for her, hunky, geeky, IT guy Kyle was just practicing for when he drops the question for his on again off again girlfriend. You see Kyle loves Caitlin, but is caught between a rock and a hard place. He is always trying to please his father and thinks proposing to current girlfriend, whom he has no feelings for, will help merge his and her father's company and will make his dad happy. Caitlin puts her feelings to the side and try's to put a sunny disposition into play while she tries to help him with the perfect romantic Christmas proposal.Where to begin.... Ok I enjoyed this cute holiday read. I have to admit that I wanted to bap both characters in the noggin for not going after what they wanted, which was each other. Though I found it endearing as well to see how Barth turned the story out. I love friends to lovers stories. Who doesn't want to wind up with a person they consider their best friend right? Caitlin was relatable and even though I like my heroines a bit sassier, I liked her sweetness plus at the end she took charge in her own way.Kyle was driving me nuts. I like a geeky hot guy as much as the next, but I kept yelling ‘man up’ at my Kindle. Luckily for him, he finally did and I didn't have to chuck something at his head mentally.Barth pulled out a sweet holiday read. Even though the characters will drive you nuts and get on your nerves from time to time you will also fall in love with them and root for them. At least this reader did.I received a copy for an honest review
