Everbrook Christmas: A Small-Town Holiday Romance
She broke his heart. He rebuilt his life. Now Christmas is forcing them to face what they lost.
I left Everbrook to prove I could succeed. Seventeen years later, I'm about to become CEO. So why does it feel like I'm failing?
I watched her drive away and swore I'd never wait for her again. I didn't. I built the Sugar Maple Inn into everything we dreamed. Without her.
Now she's staying at my inn. Sleeping under my roof. And every moment near her reminds me why I fell so hard in the first place.
But Emily has a life in San Diego. A CEO position waiting. A future that doesn't include small-town Vermont or the man she left behind.
And Michael has rebuilt his heart too carefully to risk it again.
Between family dinners, first snowfalls, and the magic of Everbrook's Christmas, they'll discover whether some loves are worth any risk or if seventeen years is too long to bridge the gap.
A swoony second-chance romance featuring a matchmaking grandmother, a dreamy innkeeper hero, and the cozy Vermont town where Christmas miracles still happen.

Everbrook
This was a really solid romance that was mostly sweet which I really enjoyed. It really reiterated that sometimes what you think you want isn’t what you actually need or want. I adored grandma Rose, and all of her meddling and how that brought Emily and Micheal into a whole different life. I do wish there had been a little bit more of their history in the book from their younger days, and the one intimate scene felt a little unnecessary and out of place, but as a whole, I really really enjoyed the story.

Woman returns home after working on her dream for 17 years, just about to get it, only to give it up because the man she left (and has zero fucking chemistry with) (and is cruel to her because he doesn't like that she left to follow her dream!!!) is still around and she's apparently not happy without him.
Are we seriously still writing this kind of shit in 20-fucking-25????
