Greg Wong hates when things don’t go according to plan, so he definitely doesn’t appreciate it when his mother insists he drive Tasha Edwards back to Mosquito Bay for the Christmas holidays. He likes peace and quiet when he’s in the car, and that’s the opposite of what he’ll get with Tasha, his high school sweetheart. The first woman he ever loved.
Not that he has feelings for her now. Of course not. Though while he’s trying not to smile at her laughter and terrible singing, he can’t help noticing how beautiful she is.
And then his plans veer further off course when a snowstorm forces them to spend the night in an unheated motel room with only one bed…
I really enjoyed how lighthearted this story was and the humor. Sometimes stories with exs, just lead me to wonder why they were written. I mean why would the heroine want them in the first place let alone want them back? This one was a no brainier, it was genius to use youth as the major break up factor, made it easy to settle in and enjoy the read and root for them.
You get why Tasha and Greg worked and there were so many cute, funny moments which is exactly what you want in a cozy Christmas read. This is my first time reading a story with the Wongs and I can see why these holiday reads are popular.
