  LOVE AT FROST SIGHT The Charlie Novak Christmas Collection - Book Three by Charlie Novak Release Date: December 4, 2025 Review It was a frosty start for reality dance star Nico and boyband superstar Toby. Nico assumes the worst of the uber-famous ex-band member, figures he’s going to be a diva. I love a story where assumptions are proven wrong. Because who Nico finds instead is a lovely, hardworking, and caring man. With each practice, all that time spent together, moments to learn about each other, it was inevitable that they would fall for each other. And wasn’t it just all kinds of sweet and lovely. Seriously, this was just a loving, happy, Christmassy story to make you smile.
