One Christmas Eve (Cedar Street #2) by Shannon Stacey
Goodreads Summary:
They couldn’t be more different. Or more perfect for each other.
New York Times bestselling author Shannon Stacey returns with a warm and cozy opposites-attract Christmas story.
Zoe Randall is busy living her life as she damn well pleases. She’s back in her favorite town, her divorce in her rearview mirror, and living out her childhood dream of running a bookstore with her cousin. She has no interest in the uptight nerd who opened his boring-ass business next to her shop…until he complains about one of her sexy window displays.
Then it’s game on.
Preston Wheeler knows he takes life a little too seriously. But when the saucy bookseller next door starts pushing his buttons, he can feel that changing. Beautiful, vivacious Zoe challenges him in all the best ways, and soon he’s pushing her buttons right back: teasing and flirting all the way through the holiday season.
As Preston loosens up and Zoe is treated to the man behind the suit (particularly his forearms), she realizes she’s more interested than she cares to admit. And Preston comes to see the beauty—the absolute delight—in adding Zoe’s bright splashes of color to his once very black-and-white existence.
My Review:
This is the second book in the Cedar Street series, but it definitely stands on its own. I did not read the first book and did not have any problems understanding the storyline.
This is a very quick, steamy read. It is a perfect easy read for the busy holiday season. I absolutely loved both the characters, and how we really got to see both of their personalities. I loved how it was really woven throughout the whole book.
The fact that they communicated through books was adorable, and the gift at the end was so sweet! I loved this book, and am interested in reading more from this author.
