Summary

This holiday, two of Texas's most beloved sweethearts are finally gettin' hitched. Everyone in the small town of Spruce is overjoyed as the winter wedding kicks off.

Everyone except Malcolm Tucci.

Forced to attend the festivities with his father catering the event,
the stone-hearted, grudge-carrying, holiday-hating Malcolm
is brought face-to-face with Bobby, the soccer boy groom he could've had, and Jimmy, the dancer who stole him away.

What he didn't count on was having his feet swept out from under him
by the rugged, pretty-eyed, and insufferably cocky Samuel.

Is it too late for Malcolm to believe in romance again?
Or is this holiday wedding about to get crashed?

Justice for Malcolm - yay!

Super sweet grumpy/sunshine romance. Liked Samuel especially, made me chuckle and shake my head on multiple occasions - in a good way. Malcom also truly deserved his own happy ending, so thank you for delivering that. Reading was smooth and easy to listen to. Goes to my top 3 in this series.

Ok

After listening to four books in this series consecutively which were all fabulous stories, I struggled with the sudden change of narrator. It felt like this seventh instalment was written by someone else because this story had a very different vibe. Or, maybe the Spruce love stories just ran out of sparkle.
