If you're looking for a quick romance read in the lead-up to Christmas, this is definitely one to pick up. It's not overly Christmasy as the majority of the story is the flashbacks that don't take place at Christmas, but it's festive enough to add a ...

Julie and Sierra are heating things up in this snowy Christmas romance with enough spice to melt all the snow in Christmas Notch! This book might be dressed up with a cute title and cover, but it’s definitely not your typical cute Christmas rom-com -...

Holly and Nick’s story was a super cute and quick holiday romance, with a nice mix of enemies-to-lovers and misconceptions. Even though it was a well-rounded story, I do wish it had been longer – it would have been great to have these characters, and...

Literally had no idea what this book was about when I went into it - all I needed to know was that it was another, hopefully fabulous, sapphic read from Ashley Herring Blake! So I was like 'omg I bet they're both the exes!' as I read the first few ch...

This book had me at Hallmark vibes and had me hooked from the very first page! There’s nothing like a cute Hallmark holiday film, so I adored having those vibes in book form – Courtney aced all the cute, snow-filled Christmas fun with a generous serv...
