Sweet yet predictable, super clean romance that brings a lovely HEA.

I just love the friends to lovers romance tropes. It just makes it such a great story to read because the characters are already super familiar with themselves and each other.
The best part of these type of stories is the realization when all these feelings and genuine care for your best friend has morphed into love.

Such a sweet story and lovable characters! I really enjoyed it and the entire town! I did want to shake Braden over his “secret” though but such a good story!

The cover is adorable. And this book has all the Christmas vibes. It also contains a lot of friends to lovers going on. Which is great. That is a fun trope in romance, and this one brings it to you fully and very sweetly.
Piper needs to save the diner. Her best friend Braeden is going to help. There’s some tension, but it doesn’t erase all those thoughts of more than friendship. Even if he thinks Piper will hate him for what he’s done. But maybe Christmas will bring them together.

I haven't read the earlier books in this mini-series, which probably explains why I felt a bit lost when I started reading Belle Calhoune's "Alaskan Christmas Redemption." There were references to several characters and past events that weren't fully explained, which led to some confusion on my part. For example, it wasn't mentioned until about halfway through the book that female lead character Piper's older brother Hank was actually her half-brother. I thought that might be why they had differ
