When she’s caught standing outside the Christmas window display of Vivant, one of Manhattan’s department stores, she can’t help but gawk. Her reaction captures the attention of Vivant’s general manager and co-owner, who happens to be strolling by. She doesn’t know him, so she has no qualms in telling him its a tragedy in tinsel. He appreciates her candid feedback and offers her a job as the department store’s new window designer. Sure, his motives are slightly selfish. He can’t help but crave her nearness, yearn to know her better, and ultimately, claim her for himself. But he’s also now her boss, which adds all sorts of complications Stella isn’t interested in. Can they work around the red tape and fulfill both their desires?I loved this one! It’s my favorite Christmas book of the season thus far. I loved that both Stella and Aiden have character flaws they must work through. I loved the New York setting. I loved the Christmas department store backdrop. Plus, there were tons of tropes like forced proximity, forbidden love, angsty attraction, bad boy hiding behind a good boy facade, and more. Oh, and since this is a Tessa Bailey book, you can be sure there’s a couple of smutty sex scenes. HELLO and THANK YOU!Let’s talk about the characters, because that’s what this book did best. Stella was incarcerated for a crime she owns up to. Part of the problem was her best friend, and her inability to set boundaries. This gets her into all sorts of trouble. In fact, her life completely spiraled out of control. But when she’s released, she understands these shortcomings and is determined to be better. Aiden gives her a second chance. Not because he’s attracted to her—well, he is, but that’s beside the point. She has a genuine gift in design. She went to school for design, and has always dreamed of becoming a department store window designer. When she WOWs him with her design proposals, he says yes because she’s the right fit. Her background certainly complicates things. After all, she’s an ex-felon. This only adds to the layers of her character arc.Aiden isn’t perfect either. He didn’t grow up around his rich, insufferable family. Instead, he was raised in Tennessee, with his down-to-earth Aunt Edna, who taught him to be a good person, and always see the sunny side of life. Sometimes his optimistic personality clashes with Stella’s. Aside from touting annoying Aunt Edna stories, he wears funky bow-ties that make him easy to joke about. However, deep down, he’s been secretly trying to appease his uptight family. That’s his flaw. Stella helps him realize that he can’t bend over backwards to please people who don’t want to be pleased.I loved the second chance theme to this book.Stella made mistakes, but she is hungry for a second chance at life. She must learn to confront her inner demons and her past. She must learn to set boundaries. Both Stella and Aiden must grow and they do it with the help of each other.This is a shorter read, more of a novella, really. I had so much fun learning about both Aiden and Stella’s past. I loved seeing them work through their flaws and overcome them. Plus, I loved that there was smut even though this wasn’t a heavily spicy book. I’ve read several of Tessa’s books and enjoyed every single one, so I was thrilled that she had a Christmas one. 𝐌𝐘 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝟒/𝟓⭐️ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a perfect holiday read *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2023* “𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘱𝘶𝘵.

You have a FMC looking for a fresh start in life and a MC who wants nothing more than to give her that. ⁣ I loved Aiden so much from the very start. He was so cute, sweet and dorky. BUUUUT he also has another side to him and boy oh boy did I love that side. * ʷᶦⁿᵏ* Stella was a bit pessimistic, didn’t have much confidence and such a spitfire. Sometimes, characters with those traits can be overly annoying and frustrating, but that wasn’t the case for Stella. I love her and her character development. They balanced each other out so perfectly. ⁣ I will say, I was SHOCKED with some of the spice. My jaw dropped to the ground and I had to put the book down for a minute to collect myself because I did not expect it to be as raunchy as it was. Tessa Bailey is pretty good about that. ⁣ This book is a perfect holiday read. It’s filled with loads of Christmas cheer, second chances, finding yourself and spice that will have you fanning yourself. Need to fit in one more book for your goodreads goal, to get you in the Christmas spirit and get your lady bits fired up that is also a quick read? This is the book for you! I will absolutely be reading this every holiday season! ⁣ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartfelt and Steamy *by A***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2023* Tessa Bailey has given us a Christmas story as sweet as hot chocolate and as hot as a roaring fire. Our heroine, Stella, is flawed, recently released from prison for a crime she did commit. She has to prove to herself that she is worthy of the second chance she is given, and use it to rebuild her life on new terms. A chance meeting with Aiden, store manager of a department store, provides her with her dream job. Not as a favor, but because she really does have the qualifications to accomplish it. Their budding relationship has a dark cloud overhanging in the release of Stella’s accomplice in the crime that sent her to prison. Stella has to have faith in herself that she won’t backslide into old habits or feel guilty for second chances. There was a lot of heartfelt emotion in this book. Add in a a buttoned up nice guy Aiden who likes it rough and dirty behind closed doors, and you have the perfect steamy Christmas story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/361929536-window-shopping-unknown-binding](https://www.desertcart.at/products/361929536-window-shopping-unknown-binding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
