Merry Ever After
A single mother working in a thrift store. A gentle giant farmer who can’t find jeans that fit. When opposites attract, they find themselves making alterations in more ways than one in this smoking-hot short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey.
Evie Crowe is starting over in a strange town with her newborn, and men are the furthest thing from her mind. If only the quiet, hulking farmer, Luke Ward, would stop coming into the thrift shop and piquing her reluctant interest. Evie wants to stay single all the way—she can’t trust anything more than friends-with-holiday-benefits. But Luke is in it for the long haul. He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.
Tessa Bailey’s Merry Ever After is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

**My thoughts**
I read the stories in this series in order. I knew to expect some heat, but WOW, was this a departure from the first book in the series! And it's totally not what I was expecting from Tessa Bailey. I felt like this one fell short for me and reminded me of why short stories are not my favorites to read. Evie and Luke went from 0 to 120 super fast and I didn't feel it coming. There wasn't enough time for much backstory and buildup. And then they went from being super shy around each other to the filthy talk that just felt out of character in a way. That being said, this story does have a lot of potential and I'd love to see it fleshed out some more.
