3.5 starsI really enjoyed this novella, but I wish i had had more Christmas in it. Chloe is housesitting for her parents while they're on a cruise which means she's back in her hometown for really the first time in a long time. When her parents electricity blows she calls the local electrician, Scott, who, even though she doesn't recognize him, she went to high school with. Scott always had a crush on Chloe, but she was super popular and he wasn't so he just lusted from afar. Chloe decides to have her parents' house completely rewired so she starts spending lots of time with Scott and eventually sparks start to fly. But Chloe's life is in Boston and Scott's is in this middle of nowhere town and they're not sure much can come of it.I loved Chloe and Scott both quite a bit. And their romance certainly was sparky. I just wished the story, which took place the few weeks leading up to Christmas, was more holiday-centric. Scott and Chloe go shopping for Christmas gifts one day and eventually they decorate her parents' house for Christmas, but that's really it. I was left enjoying the characters and the romance, but wishing the story either didn't even mention Christmas or was more Christmas-filled.
