The Bonds in Christmas Reviews

3.5
“I’m giving this 3 instead of 4 because I feel the “epilogue” novella should wrap everything up it still left me wanting more. I was satisfied with some of the couples but I wish we got more finality with other couples. Mostly Arielle and Erico, the issues they faced in their book is something that can’t be fixed in a novella they need another book or their own novella… something”
