Malcolm and Skye’s relationship continues in this sequel to _. Malcolm wants to ask Skye to marry him, but he isn’t sure if she is ready. As he asks her friends and family members for advice, they all tell him to wait. Nevertheless, he knows that he wants to marry her, and he is willing to wait as long as he has to.
Skye is opening up to him more and more, and she starts thinking about the possibility of marriage. But before she can even think about starting her future, she has to face her past and her present: her father. Her father wants to come into her life again, but Skye doesn’t know if she is ready for that Malcolm wants her to try, and she just might be willing to try for him.
I loved Malcolm and Skye’s relationship in the first novel, so I was excited to continue reading about it in this book! The two got so much closer in this novel, and it was beautiful to see how their relationship grew.
Malcolm’s relationship with his sister and brother in law has grown, as Angie recovers from her accident. Angie doesn’t want to let her husband constantly take care of her, but she also needs help to complete basic tasks. I loved her character, as she was so spunky and always had motivation, even as she was sick.
We learn more of Skye’s backstory in this novel, and the truth about her relationship with her father. Every page revealed a new secret, and I was on the edge of my seat for the entire novel. The novel even tells the story from the point of view of Skye’s mother, Sade. You never heard much about her in the previous novels, as she has already passed away at the start of book one.
The story moved smoothly yet quickly, and I sped through the book almost completely in one sitting. I was rooting for Malcolm and Skye the whole time, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a new adult romance novel.
I received an advance copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.

Thanks for commenting! I cant wait for the next book.
[…] I don’t read a lot of Christmas books, and when I do read Christmas books, I rarely read Christmas romance novels. I find that they tend to be simply romance books with a tree or two, and then they call it a Christmas story. This is the second book in a series about two college professors falling for one another, and it revolves around the two and their relationships with their family. This was what truly made it a Christmas book for me, the focus on family and how that tied in with their overall relationship.
