Who said you can’t read (or in this case listen to) Christmas novellas all year long? Twenty-five years ago, Vanessa’s parents forbade her from seeing Makenna, even though Vanessa was sure the other young woman was the love of her life. Twenty-five years later, divorced and a mother, Vanessa comes back to the place where … Continue reading It Takes A Miracle – Jamey Moody & April Doty (narrator)
4.5⭐️ - Lucy doesn't have the luxury to be spontaneous. After Christmas, she'll focus on the exams and internships that will complete her law studies but for the moment, she's taking advantage of winter break to put money in the bank by working full time as a personal shopper at an exclusive department store in … Continue reading Santa’s Favorite – Madeleine Taylor
4.5⭐️ - These are novellas so get ready for things to go fast. No worries though, Georgia Beers, Maggie Cummings and Fiona Riley are talented writers and the romance feels real but never rushed. I enjoyed all three stories and I love how they fit together. They’re very different, both in tone and level of … Continue reading All I Want for Christmas – Georgia Beers & Maggie Cummings & Fiona Riley
I love K.R. Collins’ Sophie Fournier series as much as it sometimes frustrates me. I don’t care at all about ice hockey IRL yet the way Collins writes it, I’m captivated every time. There’s a lot about Sophie I don’t understand, which is what I both love and get frustrated with. So when I saw … Continue reading Glove Save and a Beauty – K.R. Collins
3.5* - The mistakes Bridge made in her youth led her straight to prison. After her release, having experienced the difficulty of finding a job as an ex-con, she applied for and got a grant to turn an old farm into a place to help others like her find their way back into society. When … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season: A Farm to Table Christmas Novella – Luci Dreamer
If you’re like me, you’ll be delighted to know that what was supposed to be a Christmas novella isn’t. Sure, there’s some Christmas stuff but it’s way too long to qualify as a novella and that in itself is an early Christmas present. Caroline Parker hates Christmas. She has good reason to, since all her … Continue reading When You Least Expect It – Haley Cass
If you’ve read KJ’s books, you’ll recognize her everywhere in these five short stories (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?). Each story can be read as a standalone, but together they paint the picture of the few days up to Christmas in a small beach town in the Melbourne area. They tell … Continue reading An Unexpected Gift: Christmas in Australia – KJ
This is the most unexpected workplace romance ever, at least for me. I love romance novels, and sometimes it feels like I’m reading the same story over and over. With Comet’s First Christmas, I have to say I had never read that blurb before. Claudia’s dream is to become one of the nine reindeer flying … Continue reading Comet’s First Christmas (The North Pole Chronicles #1) – Delilah Night
3.5* This is the third romance in the Tinsel and Spruce Needles series, but my first story by this author. While the previous novellas are alluded to in this one, it can, however, be read as a standalone. Wild Bells is the least Christmas-y Christmas novella I’ve read this year. Sure, there’s a tree, some … Continue reading Wild Bells (A Tinsel and Spruce Needles Romance #3) – Elna Holst
This Christmas novella is not as sweet and cute as others I’ve read this year, and that’s what makes it so good. I’m very much a character-driven reader, and when characters stay with me months after I first met them, it’s always a good sign. When I read High October, I found myself liking Liz … Continue reading The More The Merrier – Elena Graf
