BLURB
For a solid five years, Jasper Madden has done nothing but look the other way when it comes to Calliope Hodges. At first, she was way too young for him, barely eighteen the first time he laid eyes on her. It also didn’t help that he’d witnessed her at the lowest of lows, practically making peace with rock bottom.
But as time goes by, he realizes that Calliope is different. She’s a brave, stunning young woman that has slowly captured his heart while he was watching from the shadows.
He knows that it’ll take time for her to realize that he’s not the enemy, but instead her saving grace. So he decides to play the long game.
For years, he’s waited in the periphery for her to be ready. He stands right there, knowing that one day she’ll look up and finally see him as the man that is desperately in love with her.
But that chip on her shoulder keeps her from looking everywhere but his direction.
Luck finally leans his way when she moves in next door, and a battle of the neighbors ensues.
Where she sees war in the form of a friendly holiday decorating competition, he sees the opportunity of a lifetime.
All it takes is one bed, a freak snowstorm, and a Christmas miracle for her to realize that he’s been there all along. A silent knight in shining armor willing to take on the world just to make sure she never has to feel unworthy ever again.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved this book. Its a fun story and is pretty light reading. I also loved that this book has recurring characters from the authors other series. Both Callie and Jasper come from past series and we get to see the characters from those series, which is pretty fun. This is a really fun book from beginning to ending. Its actually really light reading from an author who doesn't usually do light reading.
Jasper and Callie are neighbors who hate each other. They steal each other decorations, food etc. But truly they like each other but are a bit of adversaries. Mostly because they like each other and are stuck in a forbidden romance. He is close to 40 and she is in her early 20's.
This book is very slow burn but when it gets going well it gets very HOT!! Callie and Jasper are very much Beauty and her Beast.Jasper has very bad burns, his getting burned is tied into the authors Crossfit series. And while he is healed, he has a lot of scarring.
Callie is young and beautiful but also she has a mouth on her and is no retiring miss. She tells it how it is and doesn't let anyone get in her way. She is caring and loves her siblings while she also thinks she is a lot for anyone.
This book was awesome. I highly recommend it!
