Such a fun quirky set of stories all leading up to a little bit of romance with some laugh out loud and I get that cringeworthy moment. This super fast read will have you flipping pages.

I'm saddened to not have enjoyed this book since I love reading romances a lot, but this book just wasn't for me. Maybe some other day I will be able to try reading it again.

I really enjoyed this book full of novellas.

Each story was independent but they all sort of tied into each other in a way.

So NOT a Silent Night
Enticing Wrapper Number 9
Give Me a Christmas Break
Half-baked Holiday
Billionaire Bash New Year’s Crash

A wonderful mash of Rom Com! Thanks to #NetGalley and Kat Bastion for allowing me to read and review this title, I hope for more in the future.

I just reviewed Half-Baked Holidays by Kat Bastion. #HalfBakedHolidays #NetGalley

Half-Baked Holidays is a collection of novellas full of romance and holiday fun. They’re short and pretty much rely on love at first meeting, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. All of the characters are charming or adorable or sexy. The stories are light, with attraction and flirting and learning about themselves and each other, but no major complications, no major tensions, just sweet stories. There’s no cheating on each other, no love triangles. There’s also no sex, just plenty of kissing and holding hands and cookies and hot chocolate. I don’t know that I had a favorite story – they all made me smile.

Half-Baked Holidays is a collection of short, sweet, holiday love stories. If you are looking for light, quick reads then this is for you. I liked the ability to finish a story on a break or with little time available.

I received an arc from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a nice light read. The book includes 5 short stories. Half-baked holidays is the perfect book for this time of the year. They are fun, romantic, cute, and such a fast read. If you’re looking for a fun romantic comedy that is holiday themed definitely check this one out! The storylines are very enjoyable to read. Honestly this was like a hallmark/lifetime holiday book of short stories.

I loved this compilation! Each story was different, yet strong, and they all came together in a nice, complimentary way. I wish there was one more story total included in the book, but overall, I highly recommend picking this up for a fun, easy holiday read! Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy.

I absolutely love Christmas stories and this one was no different! It was so cute and I loved it from start to finish. Gives you that warm fuzzy holiday spirit just what we need to escape!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.
This book is full of fun, romantic, short stories for the holiday season.
It was very cute.

Half-Baked Holidays by Kat Bastion ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Christmas Eve themed novella, featuring 5 short stories of "love-at-first-sight" romances.
Out of the 5 short stories, 2 were enjoyable enough to be cute, likeable characters, or no vague backstory that keeps being eluded too but never makes an appearance.
There was also a LOT of descriptive detail that was unnecessary, or maybe the word count could have been better served as character development.

If you're looking for a light fluff read this holiday season, this book is for you.

A delightful collection of short stories that celebrate romance and the Christmas spirit. I found these stories to be heartwarming - they certainly left me with a smile on my face - and easy to read. They will be the perfect collection to slow down with during the lead-up to the festive season. And despite being short, the stories create a connection between the reader and the characters.

I love the holidays, this short story collection reminded me a lot of the hallmark Christmas movies I watch ever year. Loved it!

These were cute stories! Would have loved a little more depth to the characters, but with short stories i guess that is tricky! These definitely got me in the Christmas spirit and were a fun read.

This book was adorable, however each short story left me wishing that there was more. Each story was super cute and fun, but I wanted move development with each one. I would still recommend this book. It was fun, and very cute. Overall I enjoyed it a lot.

Short and sweet holiday read. It’s Cute and Quirky. A character drive story. Love the super adorable cover!!

love this premise so freaking much!! It’s literally the perfect holiday book. I read this in three days.

I found this to be an enjoyable read, keeping me on my toes throughout. The storyline was written well and flowed seamlessly. I look forward to reading more by this author!

I was given a early release ebook for this book. I don't usually go for holiday and romance but Half-Baked Holiday was so inviting from the first paragraph that I couldn't help but to read until the end. I became engulfed in the different stories and their characters and I ended up finding myself rooting for each ones happy holiday ending with one another. I also loved how I was able to relate with a couple love stories. If you enjoy The Hating Game then or November 9 then I'm sure you will collectively love this book just as much if not more than the two suggestions that have the same but different "love story" trope.

A collection of short stories set around the Christmas and New Year period. Each story is just lovely and sweet, and makes you smile and feel festive.

They are a little rushed but because there's 5 stories and only so much time to fit so much in, that's to be expected and if so if you go in with this expectation and you love a lighthearted HEA, then I can't imagine it would really matter.

So easy to read and I liked the author's descriptions of scenes, which made it so easy to picture as I was reading. I'd definitely be interested in reading some longer books by Kat.

My favourites from the 5 stories were Enticing Wrapper Number 9 and Billionaire Bash New Year’s Crash.

3.5⭐
