Here Comes Trouble was an adorably short but sweet holiday romance! It’s easy to connect with Jess in her desperation and her confusion over her annoyance with Xander being mixed with a sense of attraction towards him. Italy is, as always, the perfect setting for a holiday romance!
The undertone of this story is all about self love and acceptance. Watching both Jess and Xander grow in their love for themselves is a powerful thing. I always have a lot of love for characters who are patient with their partners and their body insecurities, and I was so touched by Xander in this book.
This book was a quick read and really well done in less than 150 pages. I will absolutely be reading more of Christy McKellen’s romance stories to get lost in the magic of falling in love unexpectedly that she does so well.
Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
