The introduction of Heath in book one left the reader eager for his story. Heath's love interest, Stella, has been crushing on him for fifteen years. However, being her brother's best friend made him off limits. Her feelings over the years remain unchanged, a situation made awkward now that she joined the Holiday Homes team. She needs to find a way to overcome her feelings for him now that they are co-workers. Then her brother did the unthinkable by declaring to Heath that Stella has always had a crush on him. This revelation made her realize that the crush was not one-sided. Heath, on learning of Stella's feelings, decides to make a move irrespective of her brother's off limits warnings.
The events of this instalment coincided with that of book one. So from reading The Naughty, The Nice and The Nanny the reader knew Heath and Stella were going to hook up. Three Bells, Two Bows, and One Brother's Best Friend provided the details leading up to the hookup. Heath and Stella made a great couple. Their relationship transition smoothly from friends to lovers. However, there was one hiccup, Heath wanted to keep it a secret.
My respect for him here fell a notch. After putting in the effort to win her over, he allowed fear to hinder him from revealing his feelings to her brother and his family. The chemistry between them was palpable, and their interactions enhanced the vibe of the story. Prepare for moments of laughter whenever these two are together. Although set around the Christmas Holidays, the story didn't give a Christmas vibe. So go into this expecting a holiday experience. Despite this, it was a cute and fun read.
Aiden Snow and Ava Lucas provided the narration. Having listened to Aiden in the past, I expect a top-notch representation of the characters on his part. He delivered as expected. Ava Lucas also brought her A game. Both narrations combined made for a pleasurable listen.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
