*sigh* My expectations with most of these 12 NA's of Christmas was different than what it should have been. All the ones that I have read thus far have been misses for me, but to be fair that has a lot to do with wrong expectations and personal preferences.This is is a fairly short novella about reuniting exes. There are a few sexy times with a little background about the past. Since I prefer fade to black love scenes, except for very rare occurrences, there wasn't much left for me in this story after skimming those scenes. Things move strangely fast to get the HEA. I never did fully connect with the characters.Side note- it might not bother you but reading "bad" when it should be written "badly" grates on my nerves. I always cringe when reading bad grammar. *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*I love Christmas books. I love romance at Christmas time; snow, smooches and crackling fires etc.I definitely got that feel with Off The Market. It was a short and sweet new adult story about a second chance love.My only trouble with this book was the length of it. I know it's a novella but it was on the short side even for that and I know this book could have been even better if it was double the length (still within the novella limit) and giving us so much more detail in return. I loved the premise of selling the MC Andrew's childhood home and it was his first love Etta that was the real estate agent. Their reconnection was sweet and I loved both of the characters, I just really wanted the time to fall in love with them completely and also for them to have more time together so their rekindling didn't have to move at breakneck speed.With that being said, Off The Market is a fun and flirty New Adult read. Perfect for the winter season to curl up for an hour or so with a hot chocolate.
