Two sweet, romantic and christmasy novellas.

First novella was about strangers to lovers and the second one was second chance of love. Sweet story plots for both. Lighten up my day. Easy to follow without any dragging. Characters were likable and lovely.

Both narrators presented the all the characters very well, with a touch of festive vibe! How lovely.

I enjoyed both novellas. A short yet entertaining read.

I really loved these novellas.
Imagine my surprise when within the first chapter of novella 1 she mentions a town not 10 minutes from where I live. I was sucked in at that point.

Novella 1 was a strangers to lovers trope. I found the characters likable and it was fun and cute.
Novella 2 was a second chance romance trope. I loved the family vibe of this story.

The narrators were great as well.
Definitely got me in the holiday spirit.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this arc.

The first story deserves a 4, but the second one deserves a 2, so 3 stars is the average.

The first story was super cute and full of Christmas cheer. The idea was unique and adorable, and the whole cast of character was charming (minus Oliver - I wasn't a fan of that love triangle, because I don't enjoy the trope in general and the novella didn't have space to do it well).

Story 2 annoyed me so much! I do not enjoy romances where the entire obstacle is the failure of the characters to communicate like reasonable adults. Gah! As a bonus, when they're about to finally talk and clear up the false assumptions, a car interrupts their conversation. *Narrows eyes.*

Sky is also unreasonable and unlikeable - she literally tells her love interest that he should have given up his education to stalk her across the country and grovel at her feet, when she TOLD him not to! Not only is that an absurdly childish ask, but that's also promoting men not listening to women, plus creepy stalker ex behavior. Gross. Theo deserves better.

Thanks, NetGalley and Thomas Nelson, for the free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This pair of novellas were really cute and sweet. They make for a perfect feel good listen with the audio version.

The first is a cute strangers to lovers, Christmas train, romance filled with sweetness and funny moments.

The second is a sweet second chance, small town, Christmas tree farm romance with some family drama and intrigue.

Novellas always feel ‘too’ short but I know that’s kind of the point, I just always want more haha. If you’re looking for cute, sweet, clean holiday romances to put you in the Christmas spirit and bring a smile to your face, this duo is for you!
