7 Christmas Books I’m Excited To Read This Winter
❤️ CLEAN TO MILDly SPICY ❤️
FAKING CHRISTMAS is a sweet, closed door, fake dating, enemies to lovers holiday romance set in a Christmas lodge in Vermont for a family holiday getaway.
MERRY EX-MAS is a sweet, small town, second chance romance with a dash of not-so-fake flirting, a tiny bit of enemies to lovers and just enough forced proximity to make things sizzle.
ONE LAST GIFT is an epic holiday romance about a young woman who finds herself lost and at a crossroads and one last gift from her brother might give her another chance at life and love. (this is the same author as Always In December, so I’m expecting many tears).
CHRISTMAS AT THE RANCH is a story about unexpected love and a reclusive writer who inadvertantly ventures to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a Christmas party where she is the guest of honor and meets Drew.
A MAGICAL NEW YORK CHRISTMAS is a magical holiday love story set at the glamorous Plaza Hotel in New York City with a struggling journalist and handsome British visitor.
🌶️ but make it spicy 🌶️
BOOKED FOR THE HOLIDAYS is a small town, single dad, friends to lover, grumpy x sunshine, age gap, rival business owners holiday romance! Holy great tropes.
HOW THE GRUMP SAVED CHRISTMAS is a snowy, small town Christmas romance with a grumpy love interest, Christmas Village & family farm, and an HEA with some spice.
