One thing that I love about both A Merry Little Cute & A Holly Jolly Ever After is that while they are both incredibly spicy, you have a solid plot as well. You have emotional matters that are being worked through.

I also love Christmas Notch and this was a fantastic trip back there. Winnie and Kallum were both delightful characters and I found myself rooting them on to admit how they felt about each other. I really appreciated how they handled approaching religious trauma with Winnie.

Part 2 of the book was a surprise for me with a pregnancy trope and fear of miscarriage triggers that I wish had been disclosed.

However, it was a funny cute and christmassy rom-com that I enjoyed overall.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
