Heat Factor: Two steamy sex scenes in the last few chapters
Character Chemistry: Gotta love a man in glasses, but Sebastian is too woke for his own good
Plot: In order to attract some dude’s attention, Grace gets her friend Sebastian to pretend to woo her. Because dudes gotta have competition to think a woman is sexy, obviously.
Overall: Too much winking at the audience for my taste
Character Chemistry: I, like Julie, would very much like to be the one person who gets to see the uptight man with his tie off and his top button unbuttoned. Oh la la!
Plot: Younger sister with irregular job feels like a disappointment to her parents and lies to them about a man with whom she had a terrible date but whom they would love. So she ends up inviting him to Christmas, of course!
Overall: Well now I want to have a romantic ice skating date and a baking competition
