Una novela romántica más, sin diálogos trascendentales ni mucho menos. Para pasar el rato.

OMG!! OMG!! Now I'm totally and officially swoon over Alex Rivera. Loved this 2nd story and I'm craving for the next. Really, I can't stop reading it. I'm blushing when I read the last chapter, when Alex filled Steph's poem with his words as the answer. It's totally freakin romantic. And the kissing under the mistletoe...*sigh*

Not bad. Kinda cheesy and super short.

Oh. My. Gosh. This book was of the hook, I absolutely loved it. So much romance and Christmas and it was just the best book. Alexander is amazing I loved his response to Steph's poem. I could not stop smiling!! It was just so cute. And Calvin also he was so nice to Steph and the only father figure she has had. He also knows what's going on between Alex and Steph and keeps it on the down low I think she rather gets along better with her future step-dad than with her mom. Her mom is like a kid she's so selfish, not 'feeling' like celebrating her daughter's birthday because it means she's a 33 year-old woman with an adult child... she makes me so angry geesh. And there is something very very weird about Isaac and his father too.
My theory is that Nick is actually Steph's father and that Isaac is her brother which would explain his over protectiveness towards her and Alex. And he lied about where he was from like creepy.

I can't stop reading the book. It's so addictive and Alex Rivera <3
I'm in shock how this woman ( Tracie Puckett) captivated my attention, her writing rocks. The last part OMG my eyes filled with hearts *blush*. I'm definitely going to read the third book.

Absolutely amazing!! Once I'm done with each chapter I can't wait to start another. Mr. Rivera is very intriguing. Can't wait for the next book.

I didn`t like how the story and their relationship developes.
That was so unrealistic and unbelievable for her to act like this when theres practically no positive feedback from him. And there were too few good dialogues between the love interests, also the change from her liking his brother as her mothers partner was a bit too rushed change for me.
I don`t unterstand the 5 star rating, sorry.
I`m not continuing with this series.

When I started reading this series, I was hooked from the beginning. What can I say? Sometimes, a book just does everything for you. I started reading it and got so surprised because it was so good.
Of course, it’s girly, simple and full of love, but I couldn’t get enough while reading it. The main character, Steph, moves to a new town and starts a new life with her dysfunctional mother. Steph is a strong and bright girl and it clearly shows that she has grown up quickly and has a lot to offer in comparison to her mother. She is “the new girl” at high school and hopes to meet someone nice, and she does… Her teacher; Alex Rivera. Oh, forbidden love! (don’t stand so close to me).

Woah, I am loving this series so much. Romance, drama and suspense as well as some laugh out loud moments. I adore this series and this has become one of my favourite series' of all time. Even though this is not a standalone you don't need to read the others in order to understand what's going on as it is recapped for you. Brilliant work.

Shows that if you really want someone's happiness, you do what ever it takes to make them smile and love what they once enjoyed. This is just amazingly well written. I am glad I purchased it.

Though the old cover is terrible this is a great teen contemporary series with the forbidden love and the family aspect. This book is probably my least favourite of the series.

Ay, estoy toda asdfghgkfld con el final que aún no puedo decir algo coherente. Pero trataré.
En esta segunda parte, nos encontramos en un ambiente más festivo ya que es Navidad, Navidad, dulce Navidad ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬
Alex está de un humor extraño debido a... misterio por descubrir ustedes. Steph ya está más afianzada en su relación con los Rivera. Steph y Alex (oh, Alex *suspiro*) están más cercanos. Y... aparece un nuevo chico en la figurita. No digamos que es un tercero en discordia, porque no lo es. Hablo del nuevo vecino de Steph, que resulta saber muchas cosas de ella, y descubrir otra muy rápido (varios personajes desconfían de él. Yo tengo una teoría bastante loca).
¿PODEMOS HABLAR DE LO HERMOSO QUE FUE EL FINAL? Tengo tantos "ASDKFGJHFD" dentro mio que siento que en cualquier momento voy a estallar.
Pero no, no quiero arruinar a nadie que quiera leer estos libros, así que mejor estallo, metafóricamente, obvio.
¡4 estrellas!

The main problem I had with this novella is that it was too quick, the events feel like they just happen one after another instead of a buildup.
Caroline, Steph's mom, annoyed me (can I say selfish?) and I really don't get what Cal sees in her. (He's quite the gentleman, so...)
I also found Steph herself a bit... not-so-likeable at some times, and at other times I feel like wishing I were her (and I found that her name really grows on you, it gets easier to read and more logical). I really liked the Rivera family, Adriana is really sweet.
Isaac was... interesting. I'm kind of curious how his role is going to develop in the series.
The story itself was kind of predictable, but a cute read to pass some time.
The ending was really adorable though, and made me excited for the next book.

This book didn’t disappoint per see. It was nice. Picked right where it left off. Added a few personal touches. An unknown man to spice things up. Everyone’s cautioned over this guy. Except Steph and her friend. The guys are not at all okay with him… And feelings will come to light.
And apparently, this book contained only 30 something pages, and had yet to bring drama into a volume 2 book of a series. Definitely would’ve been more likely to have this book as book 1 too, because the story was so short it didn’t matter much alone. Just 0.66 cents thrown into the wind. Super fast still… But not what you’d expect from Book 2 of a series (yes I’m repeating that to be perfectly clear!).

Like the first book, I read this in a few hours and I loved it. Alex Rivera is OTP and I cant wait to continue reading it. I love every character... Although the best friend relationship lacked here because her friend was thinking about a guy she couldn't have and didn't pay attention to her friend which annoys me so much!!
I think it has a lot of predicted things but I still enhoy it. The author's writing is fantastic and she made the list of the author #4 who I couldn't put the book down until I finish it. So great! Hopefully the other books will be as good as the first two. Please don't dissapoint me!

I really loved Steph and Alex's relationship.. I must say though the guy on the cover of the book was not what I pictured.
Anyways, the books just get better and better!!
It's just like.. "Oh how I wish I was Steph." (or is that just me?)
I think this story is pretty unique; and just mind blowing with the best romantic ideas ever..
This series is just crazy packed with swoon worthy stuff that made me scream at my ipod. Definately worth the money you buy it with, if not it's worth alot more.

~4/5 stars
VERY SHORT READ!! but good to my liking. I actually liked this one better than the first because I go to meet Calvin (Future Step-Father to "Steph") more. He is soooo HILARIOUS!!! I love him!!
SPOILER QUOTE!!
***** One of My Favorite Quotes! *****
"I was just thanking Steph for....Well everything." Alex said, few seconds late.
"You gonna look into my eyes all dopey and stupid too?" Calvin asked. "I carried the tree in"
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD TO THIS IT WAS SO FUNNY!

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars
It is better than the first book . At first I hated the poem it was too much like 10 things I hate about you but in the end when he wrote on it I really like it although they moved to love way too fast . I am gonna make a prediction about what is going to happen next I think mark is going to turn out to be her father and issac will have a photo of them kissing so will see if I am right in the next book

Steph is having a hard time hiding her feelings due in part that she sees the object of her affection almost daily. When he begins to become surly she makes her job to cheer him up and gets a surprise. This story is fast paced and exciting and when you're through you'll be reading for the next book.

I have read most of the series and this one has to be my favorite. I love that its the holidays and that Mr.Rivera is in a bad mood for some reason and then we later find out why. I also like how Steph and Mr.Rivera are still keeping things on the down low but they are hanging out over the holidays because they are family.
