Very fun, a bit too cheesy and over the top for me but that’s also exactly what I was expecting from a holiday romance with this title, and it hit the spot. I felt like this easily could have been a full novel, as my only real complaint is that it all was a bit fast, but then again, it was very fun to just read this in one evening.

Aww I really liked this! I did think things suddenly got really serious and intense between Cash and Bailey v quickly towards the end but otherwise thought this was p well done :) this was one of the only books of Talia Hibbert’s backlist I hadn’t read and while it’s not an absolute favorite by any means I did like it a lot more than I expected given that it’s a Christmas book 
Will say did nott love the Harry Potter references but it’s from 2017 so like I get it

This was short, and sweeter than I had expected! Yes I imagined there would be sexy parts but the heart behind it was really lovely.

Another quick and saucy romance from Hibbert that was fun from start to finish. I love how full of life her characters are even if their stories are only going to be short.

The Christmas vibes were definitely immaculate. Also, this will probably make no sense, but this is the most British of all her books. Lol. Anyway, here's to hoping I also meet a hot tattoo artist in approximately 3.5 months. Dear Santa...

This book is proof that Talia Hibbert is super talented and with the pace she has evolved within the last few years, she's gonna be a god damned genius very soon.
The story was cute, the beginning a little underwhelming, but the climax basically brought me to my knees (metaphorically), which meant for me that I cared about the characters and that they were three dimensional.

Tropes: workplace romance
Content warnings: death of a parent, domestic abuse (bot emotional and physical), homelessness (if that even is a triggerwarning, i just feel like it's a sensitive topic)

A very cute read by Talia Hibbert! Given that it's a novella, some plot elements weren't as fleshed out as they could have been. But that didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
