My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

First Kiss at Christmas was the 5th book in The Off-Season series by Lee Tobin McClain. I have not read any of the other books in the series, but I do not think it affected the story by reading it as a standalone. It was a small-town festive romance that was a delight to read. A perfect book to read on a chilly weekend with some hot chocolate. The pacing was perfect, and the characters were charming. I loved meeting all the friendly people living in Pleasant Shores and how the story included their viewpoint in some instances. It added depth to the story, and we got to see a potential romance develop between the side characters. Kayla was so sweet but lacked the confidence to stand up for herself. It was great to finally see her stand up for herself and not give in easily to Tony. Tony was a great guy and his concern for his adorable nephew was sincere. It was easy to empathize with him and the challenges he was facing as he learned about children. I really enjoyed this book and would like to read the previous books in the series.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
