If We Make It Through December
Eight years ago, Kris and Nick shared one unforgettable night—and a surprise that changed their lives forever.
Tied together by their love for their daughter, Holly, they’ve learned to keep things friendly, functional, and firmly in the past.
Okay, maybe not firmly.
When a termite infestation just a week before Christmas threatens to leave Kris and Holly homeless, Nick is quick to swoop in and save the day. Fresh off a breakup, Nick could use the company over the holidays, anyway.
Cozied up for the holidays, Kris and Nick play house—a little too well—and the carefully constructed boundaries they’ve held for a decade melt away between mugs of hot cocoa and even hotter tension.

I’m a sucker for a second chance no matter which way they arrive and this did not disappoint!
Festive, flirty and full of emotion in a novella? Perfect!
Annie can write a novella like a full length novel! After discovering her back in the summer I was itching for more from this series!
Kris & Nick have the all consuming chemistry that even a divorce and time couldn’t sever. I loved their coparent relationship and their dynamic. Holly was a seriously lucky kid to have parents that honour tradition and love with their entire being. 💖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All the Boots in the Berks novellas are the perfect, most adorable second-chance romances. I loved every character, and I love how real they feel, even though you only get to know them for about 100 pages. Annie Forrest just manages to make every character feel so human and makes you fall in love with them instantly.

"If We Make It Through December" is a super cute Christmas novella.
I don't normally gravitate towards second-chance romance novels, but I can honestly say this story was easy to enjoy, relatable, and worth reading.
The spice was nice - fit the story and was not too over the top. The story is a novella, so it's a quick read, but the timeline and the setting work so well together.
Annie Forrest will now be an author I will pick up future works from.
