Summary-

It’s Christmastime again in Heartbreaker Bay!

When Sean O’Riley shows up at the Hartford Bed & Breakfast for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, he’s just hoping to make it through the weekend. What he’s not expecting is to come face to face with the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago—a woman he’s never really forgotten.

The last time Lotti Hartford saw Sean, she told him she loved him while he said nothing. Now, ten years later, she’s just looking for a good time. For once, she wants to be the wild and free one, and Sean – the good time guy – is the perfect candidate.

But as the weekend continues, Sean realizes that after a lifetime of being the hook-up king, he’s ready to find happily-ever-after, and he wants it with Lotti. But will she open her heart to him again? As Christmas sweeps through the little B&B, he can only hope love and magic are in the air.

Review-

Holiday Wishes by Jill Shalvis a holiday novella set in her Heartbreaker Bay series. I am huge Jill Shalvis fan and I have thoroughly enjoyed all the previous books in her Heartbreaker Bay series so I was really excited to see that we finally get to see Sean's story. I don't think it is necessary to read all of the Heartbreaker Bay books before diving into the novella but it definitely makes it more enjoyable if you have. 

Sean is Finn's younger brother whom we'd met in the first Heartbreaker Bay book, Sweet Little Lies. He used to reckless, out to only have a good time. But Sean has come a long way. He's grown up now and ready to take responsibility. One of which is being the best man for his brother's Finn's wedding. When Sean and his friends go to Hartford Bed & Breakfast for his older brother's bachelor weekend he doesn't expect to run into Lotti.

I adored Sean O'Riley. You can see that he's come a long way from where he was before. He was a stand up guy who took care of his friends and family. Lotti and Sean were actually together once back in high school. But Sean broke her heart and Lotti has a hard time letting anyone in emotionally. I found Lotti to be a sweet heroine. Her hesitations were valid but she was determined to make the best of the situation.

I loved the romance between Sean and Lotti. They had amazing chemistry and clearly they shared a connection. I also LOVED seeing all the previous couples. Elle and Archer remain my favourites and this short novella just makes me want to go back and reread all of the books again. If you enjoy Jill Shalvis books I'd say go for Holiday Wishes.
