Maya and Zach grew up as best friends in a small town until life drove a wedge between them. While Maya found herself in Florida, Zach found himself in the marines and their friendship never felt the same as their interests went their separate ways. Thought they have kept in contact, Zach seems to be very interested in her beautiful business partner and for the first time in her life through letters – Maya finds herself attracted to her best friend.I thought Some Kind of Wonderful was a fast, cute, Christmas read. That's all it was, a quick fix of Christmas romance.I actually found myself feeling sorry for Maya at the beginning of the book when we first find out that all the naughty letter's that were exchanged between Zach and her other friend Giselle, were actually written by Maya carried away by her own fantasy But in the end, Giselle actually turned out to be a very good friend, so I couldn't even hate her!I felt that even thought the book was really short, the author did a great job building the chemistry between Zach and Maya – there was some from the start and it only grew as the story progressed.With Zach's feelings up in the air about Maya, he gets visits from three ghosts on Christmas Eve and day, that help him sort of guide him in the right direction. Thought it was a bit Christmas Carol/Scrooge like, it seemed to have worked some way in the story.I have read a book by this author before and did enjoy her writing. I never read the Cupcake Lovers series before and it seemed like an adult romance I would enjoy!Got a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange of an honest review!
