The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss

Used book in excellent condition

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️/5 - brief mentions of thinking about sex and having sex, a closed door scene in which the characters wake up naked the next morning.

What I enjoyed: The premise is really cute and helps the pacing of the story. There’s a lot of fun tension waiting to see why each date doesn’t work out until the obvious choice does! I didn’t expect the descriptions of the fabric designs to be so beautiful and vivid. I may have enjoyed these moments the best, actually. It also gave Kate more depth than a typical female love interest who exists just to get romanced. I appreciated also that she didn’t regret her past knowing that it allowed her to explore her passion and career. The way Bayliss describes nature creates such a reverent and gorgeous feeling. There’s also such a silly and great moment with “The Pear Tree” at the end that made me giggle out loud.
