Deck The Headlines by Teagan Hart pulled me into a small town dedicated to Christmas, and the romance that sparks between Cal and Ella. I loved all the imaginative holiday festivities that the characters reported on and even participated in. The enemies to lovers vibes created some amazing tension between Cal and Ella, and it was fun to watch them fall for each other. I was a bit curious how this romance could be such a long story, but when the mystery around Clarence’s sudden retirement comes into play, I got it! I was totally there for a bit of mystery along side the romance. I even came to love side characters, so much I was ready to jump into the second Hope Island Holiday Romance story. But when I found out it wouldn’t be any of the friends of Ella or Cal, this put a dampener on my need to instantly read the next book. I was really looking forward to seeing love between Ella’s friends blossom. Overall, I fell completely in love with Deck The Headlines and loved all the quirky small town vibes and romance development between Cal and Ella.
