This book was very corny but also funny and charming. The romance was good and I loved the two couples in the story. It had its emotional moments and I liked the cute, cheesy ending.

I did realize this was a series, but it was a quick read to get me to my goal for the year and I did enjoy it a lot. So I’m thinking I’ll look at other books in the series. The suspense was good too for such a quick read.

This book was so cute and so hot. I LOVE Titus and have a crush on Danica for sure. These two are dorky as hell and I loved the book so much. It was very sweet and charming in all the right ways. And did I mention HOT.

Very cute and quick holiday romance with decent spice. Was hard to connect to the relationship between the two given the short amount of time that takes place in the book but they were cute and charming enough.

Read Kings of Chaos cause it gave what this book was supposed to give. The SA is so off putting. I kept reading cause I was hoping she’d grow a backbone and set up their deaths.

I only wished the sex scenes were in Scream for Us cause the first book was much hotter. Still dope as hell. And now cheesy and sweet.

Cute and quick (maybe too rushed) and a few spelling errors. I appreciated that the characters were nearing 40. Many romance books like this the woman is like 20 and the man is 30 so I definitely like this balance.

My least favorite of the Holiday Brothers series. It wasn’t just that unplanned pregnancy was a main theme in it which is my least favorite trope,
but that Tobias was constantly pressuring Eva or getting mad that she wanted and needed a life different from what he planned. That he always needed answers immediately. It was just frustrating. Especially since it wouldn’t have cost him a thing to do the job he loved while travel around with her until they were ready to settle down. And to be honest I hated that as soon as the baby was born and able to travel Eva moved back to settle in Montana like some kind of stereotype about women and babies and settling down. I’d have loved for them to travel around a bit until Isabella was Violet’s age to settle back in Montana.

Not nearly as cute and funny as the first one. Stella’s sayings were a bit cringey, but I did like her and Heath. I’m not a fan of Guy or the clear toxic masculinity going on but it’s was a decent, cute, quick Christmas romance.
