A lovely holiday romance for three

Avery and her teen sister move to a new neighbourhood, where Avery is immediately drawn to her new neighbours.

Rowan and Knox are a bisexual couple in a long-term monogamous relationship. They both see something special in their new neighbour.

Will they or won't they? It's a rom-com, so of course they will!

This book makes a great holiday read, set as it is between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. I like that the trio didn't fall madly in bed in the first act, that they have time to get to know each other despite a huge case of insta-love. Also, since the two guys are already on a loving relationship there is still the opportunity for first act sexy times.

I was concerned by repetition in the first few chapters, with certain details repeated over and over, including at least one whole scene related played out from different POVs with no knew insight imparted through the process, but this settled down just when it was starting to bug me and the story flowed well from then on.

I'm not a fan of page-to-screen adaptations, but we need more exploration of polyamory in mainstream entertainment and this has all the makings of a fine Christmas rom-com. Recommended. ( )
