About the book:
Caitlin McIntyre’s heart stops when her best friend drops to one knee and proposes. Kyle Lockhart never once hinted over the years that he has any idea she’s in love with him. Not wanting to jeopardize their friendship, she’s never let it slip. Good thing, too, since it turns out he’s only practicing—he’s about to propose to someone else.
A business merger might not be the most romantic reason to propose to a woman he barely knows, but Kyle’s determined to win the respect of the dying father who’s never seen him as quite good enough. Kyle’s always depended on Caitlin’s friendship, while trying to ignore the physical response she arouses. So he turns to her when it comes time to craft his proposal, not realizing his decision will affect their relationship, forever.
This Christmas, Kyle and Caitlin get one last chance to admit their feelings for each other, and find a mutual happily ever after, before he commits his life to another woman and Caitlin leaves town and him…for good.

I like a quick holiday read once in awhile. And there are a lot of those contemps out.
Quick reads are great once in a while but sometimes there’s not enough time for character development or good HEA. Thanks for the honest review. The book sounds cute.
I have never read her books. Sounds good.
I’ll give it a go.
Hmmm…I hate it when the friends to lovers trope isn’t done quite right. Add to that a rushed HEA…not sounding like a keeper to me.
I have not read this authors work before. Would love to try this book. Love short reads this time of the year.
I’m not familiar with Christi’s books, but might check out this novella.
Not really into novellas but love to see all the Christmas books out there.
I havent read any of her stuff yet, but I like short holiday reads during the season.
