This is a sweet story, but also very, very short. Like, it ended at around 60% of the book, with the rest being promotional material. (Not cool.) 
 Unlike some of the other Lucky Harbor books, you really don't need to have read this series before to enjoy this one. I liked seeing what was happening with Mia, since she was a great character in book #3. I would have liked this much more if the ending hadn't been quite so cheesy. (view spoiler)[Nick, the love interest, gives Mia a promise ring. Does that still happen? I mean, it is 2012! And it's not like this is a super-chaste sort of story/series--that just seems weirdly out-of-context. But maybe my associations with that particular gesture are rooted in that it was very common in the conservative town I grew up in and it meant a lot of things aside from, "Hey, here's a pretty piece of jewelry because I really like you." (hide spoiler)] 
 Either way, this is a sweet and fun quite holiday-themed read, even if you're Christmas-averse like me.
