⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Holly Jilly Christmas by Emma St. Clair
Quick and SUPER cute, this has everything you could ask for in a holiday novella. It packs a punch in a small package, diving right into a road trip between co-workers. There's a great grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and a hero whose thoughts are fun to puzzle out. It's just Christmasy enough to feel like a holiday... Continue Reading →

It's prime time for holiday romances, so it seemed like the perfect time to re-share my review for Pippa Grant's hysterical AND hot holiday romance, Humbugged.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley 🎧
Featuring a plot right out of a Hallmark movie, this sweet second chance romance has all of the holiday vibes. It's laidback and easygoing with a slightly boring feel - it was more plot-driven and less romance-focused than I was hoping, but there's a lot to like about the story. It definitely has that Christmasy... Continue Reading →
RETRO REVIEW: A Very Bossy Christmas by Kayley Loring
My favorite holiday romance is on sale for just 99 cents right now (as of this post!), so it seemed like the perfect time to share my review again. Kayley Loring has delivered SO MANY 5-star reads for me, but this one remains my absolute favorite. The sexual tension, playfulness, and holiday vibe just took... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Mistletoe Bet by Maren Moore
For me, this didn't deliver in the romance OR the festive department, which is all I ask from a holiday novella. It brings the spice though, if you're looking for something more naughty than nice. I've been meaning to check out this new-to-me author, so this quick and sexy holiday romance seemed like the perfect... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison 🎧
It's easy to see why this friends to lovers romance is so popular - it is completely swoony and CHARMING, with a great found family feel and an intriguing cast of characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese
He gives me a disbelieving side-glance. “I told Siri to play a music station, Gabriella, not get on her knees.” You've Got Mail is one of my favorite rom coms and I adore Liese's writing, so I feel like... maybe this book was meant for me? I don't know, but it was certainly holiday goodness... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Naughty, the Nice and the Nanny by Willa Nash
This quick and cute holiday romance sits somewhere between three and four stars for me - I liked it, but it's already fading from my memory. The light and easy feel made the story fly by, and I'm definitely interested in checking out the other two books in the series - they might make more... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Jingle Bell Beard by Julie Kriss
A second chance romance that I actually liked? It must be the holiday cheer in the air! I'm always a little wary of second chance romances, but a book buddy recommended this Christmas read, and I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad that I did! It's longer than a novella, shorter than a... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Billionaire Scrooge Next Door by Olivia Hayle
What a sweet and sexy Christmas treat! Longer than a novella but not quite a novel, this low angst holiday romance had me smiling by the end. It has a little bit of a slow start, but once our Scrooge of a hero shows his sweeter side, it was a whole lot of fun. It's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Bachelor on the Shelf by Jana Aston
It... wasn't great. Not terrible, but not all that good either. I've been enjoying this series because each novella is a fun little under-100-page Christmas treat, but this year's installments definitely miss the mark in the romance department. This hero goes from a total jerk to a total sweetheart in the blink of an eye,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The 14 Days of Christmas by Louise Bay
Just like a sexy Hallmark movie! This was a light, upbeat holiday read with a touch of steam and a laidback romance. It's an interesting length - more than a novella, but it didn't quite feel like a complete novel either. That's the only place where it loses points for me - I keep expectations... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: One Night with a Nutcracker by Jana Aston
This had everything I could want in a short and sexy holiday novella - chemistry, playfulness, and some lighthearted Christmas fun. While the first in this trio of seasonal novellas left me wanting more, I enjoyed this one from start to finish. The romance is much more prominent, the characters are more compelling, and the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Very Bossy Christmas by Alexis Winter
Go read the other A Very Bossy Christmas instead (find it here), this one is a hot mess. The hero is a steamrolling jerk whose thoughts and personality change from one moment to the next. I'll give you an example: "It’s probably good her personality instantly kills my raging hard on whenever she walks into... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Elves with Benefits by Jana Aston
Welcome back to Reindeer Falls! I loved the first three novellas in this fun and sexy holiday romance series - they're all quick, easy reads with sugar and spice and everything nice. Elves with Benefits is the first of this year's group, and it sets everything up perfectly. We've got a group of three friends,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Rebel Yule by Kate Meader
This sweetheart of a hero deserved a better story, I'm afraid. I love a good holiday novella to get me in the festive spirit, and this quick, steamy story had the potential to do that. It's a sweet treat for fans of the series, a fast-paced peek at how everyone is doing around the holidays,... Continue Reading →
