Hmmm erm kinda no. So I like the idea of both of them and what they are but they didn’t do it for me. Luke is sweet and polite and what you’d want and Evie is cute. They were cute together. I did like how both of their POVs we included. I used to like Tessa’s spicy scenes but they were a little bit cringe in this. The ending was cute but this book just didn’t do it for me. It also didn’t give many typical Christmas vibes like snow, cold etc (I know Christmas isn’t like that for everyone but still it’s just the vibe)

Ok so it’s cute but I wish it wasn’t a novella and wished it was a full story- I feel like it would be better as a normal length book. There’s miscommunication which is annoying. Still an easy read though.

This felt like such a quick read! At first I really didn’t like Crew and the vibe he gave off but he grew on me. I loved Kota from the start like bad bitch energy YES!!!! I liked how it wasn’t full “uni this uni that uni uni uni” if that makes sense but I liked the ages that they were and it felt a little bit relatable in that sense. The pranks were so funny, kind of childish but I loved them. Like this is true enemies to lovers. The hate they have for each other I knew would make good tension. Crew’s protectiveness coming through was everything. Wow to the spice. The ending was so cute I love it!!

I love a second chance romance and a single dad?! Love. Josie is such a cute character omg like the perfect teacher. I loved how Wyatt was grovelling it was so good and that he respected how Josie didn’t want to rush things. The dirty talk from Wyatt was hot ngl. I loved how much Josie cared about Lucy! The ending was emotional ngl. Such a good Novella- I didn’t feel like anything was left out or rushed and I wasn’t left disappointed!

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Had to dnf sorry but the how often death and different ways of dying was mentioned was too much for me. And it felt like there was too many people to keep up with.

Ok I’m obsessed with them!!!! I love Arabella’s vibe throughout this and also kinda love Rowan’s too! In all my kisses for you I didn’t like him but he definitely redeemed himself! They’re so cute together. I won’t lie I was worried for Thanksgiving considering it felt early on in the book but I loved how it played out between them. I really really hate Arabella’s parents especially her mum- her at the end?! Big ew for her mum. The spice was actually so perfect. The locket was so cute and was a big part for me and I loved it!!! The ending was so perfect and I want more!!!

this is so so perfect! I loved how quick it was and it didn’t feel like a let down with being short it was SO good. First of all I loved the cover! I loved Diana from the start. I knew I’d like this book as soon as she decided to finish the bottle of wine. The confidence Lawson has is just so so hot I can’t even cope with him. I loved how he made her confidence grow but how he didn’t mind that she was independent and wanted to help her. 4 words: belt buckle and tinsel. Lawson Boone the man that you are !!!!!!! I’m obsessed. The ending was so sweet. LOVE!!!!!

I felt emotional at the start but like a good emotional. I liked Sawyer in the prologue and felt proud of him even though I’d just “met” him. Also in the prologue I wanted to give Daisy a hug and then I started believe in her and want everything for her. I loved how there was dates at the start of each chapter because I like knowing when things happen. Them meeting was super cute and I loved how Sawyer was obsessed with Daisy from the start. All I’m gonna say is “miss Daisy” coming from Sawyer made me feel a certain type of way ;) they’re so so cute together. An easy to read fluffy romance with a little bit of spice. Cutesy.

This is such a cutesy Christmas read! Their story was so cute, I love that Haven didn’t know who Alex actually was or what he done for “life” (I can’t think of a better word😅). The spice was good although not too spicy. The side characters were cute too! I want to visit Haven’s Christmas shop so bad!! The only downside was that in my opinion it would have been a bit longer to avoid it feeling rushed at times. Overall a cutesy and easy Christmas read!!
