A Christmas Cadence

A Christmas Cadence: A Spicy Small Town Paranormal Romance by Cynthia Brubaker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was a very quick read that starts at a high school reunion and ends post-holidays. It gave strong Christmas cozy vibes and did include some spice.

Natalie is single at her high school reunion and gets caught staring at her high school crush and fellow band-member. Drake is now a fitness instructor at his parent’s gym, having never left their home town whereas Natalie went her own path, trying to continue pursuing music. The sparks fly and they both have a very memorable reunion evening, made even more so by Drake biting Natalie while in the throes of passion. Natalie obviously gets the appropriate amount of freaked out and leaves Drake stuck in a tough spot.

Natalie soon has to come to grips with the fact that her body is going through some changes - in this case, marked mates are made physically ill being away from their mates. Since she is doing her best to not be around Drake, she needs to compromise her own boundaries to feel better physically. They still have chemistry, passion, and slowly but steadily build a romantic relationship and trust. We get a nice HEA after all their drama, too!
