This is EXACTLY the reason why I read Mink， OTT ridiculous hero， cats， and just a lot of silly fun + smut。 Also the funniest way ever to lure the woman of your dreams back to town， lol。

I really appreciated the double virgins in these one。 Dual virgin books will always be my favorite to read。 And this one didn't disappoint。 Honestly， a book would have to contain something really bad or cheating for me to dislike it if it was DV。 I recently read Crazy Love and after reading it， I really wanted one similar and Christmas Crush gave me exactly what I wanted。 I love Minks writing style and obsessive possessive heros。 And I say this all the time， having him a virgin makes the book 10 I really appreciated the double virgins in these one。 Dual virgin books will always be my favorite to read。 And this one didn't disappoint。 Honestly， a book would have to contain something really bad or cheating for me to dislike it if it was DV。 I recently read Crazy Love and after reading it， I really wanted one similar and Christmas Crush gave me exactly what I wanted。 I love Minks writing style and obsessive possessive heros。 And I say this all the time， having him a virgin makes the book 10x better。 At this point， one could say I have a addiction to DV books。 :） Which I have no shame or embarrassment over because I just cannot read one more book with a virgin herione and a sexually experienced hero。 I have not hate for authors who write about that because most of the time they are the ones who write the DV books I love。 Anyway， back to the book at hand。 It's really well written with not many grammar issues， if any at all。 If you are a fan or have read previous books from Mink then you will probaby like this one。 I'm usually not a fan of second chances stories where the hero was the jerk but I liked how this one was done。 I think having a crappy mother can make anyone act like he did but it wasn't as bad I thought it would be。 From the descriptions of the past， I'd say he was mildly a jerk compared to other books I've read。 I really loved the grandmother and her cute little sayings。 She definitely didn't take any crap and was protective of Ruby。 I didn't really appreciate Knoxs grandfather but by the end， I didn't really mind him。 Overall， I loved it and will definitely read it again， hence the rating。 。。。more

When I picked up this book， I wasn’t expecting dual virgins。 I typically run fast away from that trope。 Sometimes I can tolerate if the MCs are in high school， but mostly it’s a no-go for me。 While I don’t think the MC’s ages were confirmed， the way they speak about the years since high school and their careers， it sounds like they’re in the 30s-40s。 👀😐 Their conversations， attitudes， actions （or in this case total LACK of action 🙈） made them seem like early 20’s， at most。 👀 This was super cring When I picked up this book， I wasn’t expecting dual virgins。 I typically run fast away from that trope。 Sometimes I can tolerate if the MCs are in high school， but mostly it’s a no-go for me。 While I don’t think the MC’s ages were confirmed， the way they speak about the years since high school and their careers， it sounds like they’re in the 30s-40s。 👀😐 Their conversations， attitudes， actions （or in this case total LACK of action 🙈） made them seem like early 20’s， at most。 👀 This was super cringe for me。 🙈🤷🏼♀️Also… the H was supposedly in love with the h all these years and never went after her。 He just waited around in their hometown for her to decide to come home。 What a dud。 😐Bottom Line？ This book wasn’t for me and the story/characterization was just objectively not good。 🤷🏼♀️ ⭐️⭐️⚠️SAFETY SQUAD SPOILERS⚠️- no cheating or sharing- OW drama - a girl in town throws herself at the H - he’s not interested- no OM drama- no dubcon- dual virgins 🙄 。。。more

Knox has been in love with Ruby since high school but he made some stupid mistakes and lost any chance he had with her at the time。 But he was bound and determined to prove that he could earn Ruby’s respect and love。 Now， years later， he has built a new life for himself and Ruby。 Now he just needs to get her to move back home…and to fall in love with him。 Ruby moved away from Reindeer Valley in order to not have to see Knox marry someone more fitting to his family status。 When she gets a message Knox has been in love with Ruby since high school but he made some stupid mistakes and lost any chance he had with her at the time。 But he was bound and determined to prove that he could earn Ruby’s respect and love。 Now， years later， he has built a new life for himself and Ruby。 Now he just needs to get her to move back home…and to fall in love with him。 Ruby moved away from Reindeer Valley in order to not have to see Knox marry someone more fitting to his family status。 When she gets a message from her Grandma stating that she needs help at the family bakery， Ruby decides to finally go back。 The last thing she expected， though， was for Knox to be as obvious about his interest and attraction to her。 After all， while she had been in love with him for years， he was way above her。This was a cute read， as always with Mink。 I loved how Knox was with Ruby （the jacket thing was so adorable！） and all that Knox has done to “prove” he was the right man for her。 This is a great read for Christmas！ 。。。more

Not realisticThis book sounds like it was written by a shallow man。 I finished it thinking it had to get better。 How many women would allow a man to be all over them when they hardly knew each other？ He was supposed to be a better person than before but he never did anything to prove it。 He just kept saying he was a better man now。 It was dreadful。 The idea of the story was cute， but the guy was just a pig。

Ruby and Knox were years in the making。 We were all young and dumb at one time or another in our lives。 Knox's mother sure did put things in his head that kept him away from Ruby。 They did finally get their happily ever after。 Can't wait to see the upcoming couple in the next book。 Ruby and Knox were years in the making。 We were all young and dumb at one time or another in our lives。 Knox's mother sure did put things in his head that kept him away from Ruby。 They did finally get their happily ever after。 Can't wait to see the upcoming couple in the next book。 。。。more

I thought this was going to be so cute and was super into it at first but the insta-love and years-long pining was TOO MUCH。 It was kind of cringe-y。 Still， I didn’t hate it。

A cute holiday read。 It reminded me of some of Mink’s earlier books with a sweet， unsuspecting h and a stalkerish， devoted H。 I didn’t feel the sizzle between these too as much as I’d expected。 And she was definitely a moron to blindly accept his explanations at the end。。 the should have been more groveling。
