I've enjoyed all of the Mistletoe Romance series, although I will say the second book was my definite favorite. Holly's book gets second place, though, and I still thoroughly enjoyed the read. It's a quick and easy holiday read, which I'm always in the mood for this time of year!

Who doesn't love a grumpy/sunshine Holiday Romance?

This book very much gives off Hallmark Christmas vibes. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. It was just a cute Christmas book to get me in the spirit. I would recommend to people that want to get into the Christmas spirit and just want to something light and fun.

Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc version of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my GOD this was so cute. I received the ARC from Netgalley but I also had it on audio, from when it was originally released so I both listened and read this book.

I want to live in Mistletoe, Idaho. The Winters family became my family when I was reading this and I absolutely love all of them. This is the third book in the series (but totally works as a standalone) but I honestly can't wait to go back and read the other Mistletoe romances. Along Came Holly follows Winters sibling Holly, and the scroogiest grinch to grinch: Declan Gallagher.

This book had me laughing out loud and the the TENSION between Holly and Declan was hot enough to melt the Idaho snow. This was the perfect book to read to get in the holiday spirit and the updated cover on this book is perfection. It completely captures Declan and Holly and I'm glad I had an opportunity to read this one!

This series from Codi Hall has been very enjoyable! It mixes a good amount of holiday cheer with enough steam to keep things interesting 😆

This third title of the series features:
- Enemies to lovers and grumpy sunshine tropes
- Christmas prank wars
- Forced proximity
- No third act breakup!

I’ve been looking forward to seeing the dynamic play out between Holly and Declan through the first two books, so it was satisfying to see them get their HEA. I loved the absence of the third act breakup and the character development we got for each of them, but particularly Declan. I also enjoyed seeing the whole Mistletoe gang back together!

Content flags: Declan’s father is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s but this isn’t depicted on page; Declan’s parents are divorced and there are brief mentions of infidelity; some on page use of alcohol including one scene where Declan is drunk on page

I voluntarily read a gifted copy. All opinions are my own!

This took me a bit longer to get through than a normal holiday romcom. I found both of our main characters a little hard to relate to and their connection at times felt forced. Overall, a cute read...just a little slow for my personal preference.

What can I say, I love a good Grumpy/Sunshine romance. Make it part of an interconnected series in a small-town at Christmas and I couldn't be happier. This whole series has been pretty amazing and I've looked forward to a new addition each year. I'd love to see more happy endings for the crew of Mistletoe, Idaho outside of the Winter's family (I'm looking at you Pike!).

Was Declan a little too mean and grumpy? Yes. Was Holly a little too cheerful and pushy? Yes. Did I love the two of them together? You bet!! Will I be reading this series for Christmases to come? Absolutely.

This author is so wonderful. I’ve enjoyed all her holiday reads and this one is no exception! I was glad to have been given a copy of this one. It was such a fun, steamy holiday read. I enjoyed the main characters and all the slow burn tension between them! I highly recommend this book or any other from Codi Hall! Just wonderful!

I love this Rom-Com series and I hope it continues because I love this world. I want to go there and meet everyone. It's perfect and I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

This is such a fun holiday series! I loved the first two books and I enjoyed this one too! I loved the enemies to lovers of Holly and Declan. Grumpy/sunshine is one of my favorite tropes and they definitely epitomized this! Their town is such a cheery festive place that really puts you in the holiday spirit! The pranks Declan and Holly put on were pretty entertaining! I liked how they worked on their relationship despite really not getting along at first. These are a great read to get you into the holiday season!

Here we go again with Mistletoe and Winter family shenanigans.
This time it's the youngest Holly turn to fall in love with the grumpy Declan next door. Holly is a daredevil owner of a store who is trying to find a new thing for her YouTube channel and Declan is the artist owner of the hardware store next door, and they fall in love while also fighting over loud Christmas music, start a prank war and become the unlikely duo in scavenger hunts. The tension and heat run high when for ■REDACTED■ reason they end up living together and ■REDACTED■ happens.
Declan teaches her how to cook while she tries to steal his cat Leo's affection.
Telling you more would reveal the plot so I'm just going to tell you it comes out on September 26 and you should go get it for yourself.

A fun festive read. Holly and Declan run shops next door to each other. She loves Christmas and he hates it - can she convince him otherwise?

A fun & well written holiday romance. It was a fast read & I can’t wait to reread it this winter along with all the other books.

The final book in the Mistletoe Romance series. I wasn’t sure if this could top the second book that I loved so much and I was kind of right. But! Even tho I liked second book best, I still enjoyed this one too. Overall this series is short, sexy, and has so much holiday fun! Def recommend.

THIS. BOOK. WAS. ADORABLE! This was actually my first book by this author, and I can’t wait to read more!

My least favorite in the series but still enjoyed it! I love Christmas stories where one person is all about Christmas and the other is a super grinch and their heart grows 10 times by the end.

I really enjoyed the banter and the slow-burn romance in this one, and the pranks! The MCs had a lot of angsty push and pull, and I liked how it was resolved at the end, with both of them finally being sure, and without any major dramatic conflicts.

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

This was a really fun read! Small town Christmas vibes are always the best, and this was just the right amount of cheesy to be absolutely perfect! Some of the spice felt out of place in an otherwise sweet, clean story. It felt a bit like it came out of nowhere. I'd love to visit this sweet, christmassy town! it sounds like it's set in a snow globe!

I love the town and the stories about the other siblings, and this story is a great addition!

Thanks to Netgalley for the Advanced Copy to review.

Get this book on your Christmas reads list! Along Came Holly by Codi Hall is an engaging, fun, romantic read that’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s a part of a holiday series by Hall, and I’m really looking forward to going back and reading the rest of them. Now, to the book!

Meet Holly. She owns the holiday shop on Main Street and this season is looking like it’s going to be a great one. Meet Declan. He owns the hardware store on Main Street, next to the holiday shop. He’s hired to set up her holiday lights display (the money was too good to refuse, especially for a Scrooge), and hijinks ensure. Will Declan be able to admit his feelings, or will Christmas magic fail to ignite the spark of love?

I throughly enjoyed my trip to Mistletoe, Idaho with Holly and Declan! It was a sexy read, short, and so much fun. I found this to be a really cute story and it got me all up in my feels. I highly recommend for those readers who like sweet romance during the holiday season!

Along Came Holly is a fun, quick holiday read about a woman filled with Christmas cheer and the giant grinch next door who revs her engine.

There were so many funny moments in this book. The "enemies" had angry flirting down to perfection, and Declan's protective side came out even when they bickered. Their prank war had me cackling in the middle of the night!

<i>"You want to kiss me again because I have weirdness in me and you crave it?"</i>

The dynamic in this book was flip-flopped. Holly was the more free-spirited one who didn't want a relationship. Declan was the more closed-off one who didn't date often. He was a large, intimidating man who loved art and wasn't a fan of sports, and she was a small woman who lived for adventure.

My favorite side character was definitely Sam. I spent most of the book wondering if he was secretly in love with Holly and hoping some woman would come along and sweep him off his feet!

If you're looking to get in the holiday spirit, grab Along Came Holly! It has a definite Hallmark feel with added spice.

Thank you, Sourcebooks and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Along Came Holly
This book was a perfect Christmas romance. It had grumpy x sunshine, it had pranks, it had cutesy holiday names for the FMC and her siblings plus the town, Mistletoe.

This book hooked me right from the start and that is my favorite kind of book! We meet Holly, who owns a trinket shop in Mistletoe and we also meet her siblings, as well as their partners and friends. Next we meet Declan, Holly’s store neighbor, who is a grump who doesn’t like Christmas, especially Christmas music, which is the exact opposite of Holly.

I don’t want to write too much and give things away, but I highly recommend this one if and when you are looking for a good holiday romance with the grumpy x sunshine trope!
