Levi is as swoonworthy a lumberjack as I had wanted him to
be since we first met him in Finn and Oakley’s book. He’s kind but sort of
gruff and the way he is with Fallon is both entertaining and sweet. I loved him
right away and throughout the entire story. I think it would be hard not to.
Fallon’s a true grinch at the start of the book, and she comes off as almost
bratty. She’s got her reasons though, and when you find out, her bad attitude
absolutely makes sense. Fallon’s backstory made me tear up, which made how
everything that evolved between her and Levi that much better. By the end of
the book, I adored her, and I love how her story played out. Simply put, it made
me happy.
Also, I thoroughly enjoyed that this was a Christmastime-themed
romance coupled with the reverse grumpy/sunshine trope. Fallon’s such a crab in
general it seems but so much more during that time of year, and the way Levi is
unabashedly a lover of all things Christmas made for some rather funny moments.
The chemistry between them was evident, and the banter between them was cute
and cheeky. Their story is a big ‘ol cup of spicy eggnog, and I smiled all the
way through.
So, if you’re in the mood for a Christmas romance that’s
equal parts steaminess and sweetness, then you’re going to want to read The Joy
of Us. It’ll make you laugh and cry and all the things in between, and it’ll
leave you smiling.
