A relatable female main character who grapples with overthinking? As someone who tends to overanalyze everything, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air! Toss in a charming Scottish billionaire, and you’ve got a story that’s hard to resist. It was exactly the kind of read I needed—fun, engaging, and full of those moments that made me nod in recognition. If you’re looking for a delightful escape that balances humor with relatable struggles, this one’s a must-read! Plus Logan was SWEEEEETTTT!!

Fake dating - one of my favourite tropes!
A sweet Christmas romance that was a little on the predictable side.
Gwen was a little too self-doubting for me. I prefer when female characters arent always so down on themselves.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC. All views are my own.

Another great read from Lucy Day. A wonderful read that moved quickly but had great character development. I love Lucy Day and most things she writes, but this would be amazing just starting out as a Lucy Day reader. Thank you so much for the oppportunity to read it!

First book I have read by this author.
Unfortunately, I’m struggling with reading lately so this book took me longer to read than I would have liked.
This was full of sexual tension, but doesn’t go beyond kissing. I really enjoyed these characters, but I kind of figured something was going on between Victoria and Theo.
I felt bad for Logan and the fact that he practically ran away to get away from everything. It sucks that nobody would listen to him besides his brother. I definitely enjoyed the fact that she owned a cafe and baked a lot.
I liked how Logan and Gwen were together. I loved that she never had anybody to take care of her and Logan stepped in and knew exactly what she needed.
Thankfully everyone got a happy ending.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

I adored One Sweet Holiday. It has all the best tropes, a gorgeous setting, and our MMC has a Scottish accent.

This is a warm, gooey book that is perfect for reading by the fire.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an arc in exchange for this review.

Apologies for my delay, I’ve had a very hectic few months.

I sadly didn’t get very far in this arc before it expired, and by then the holidays were over and I couldn’t really get into it.

One Sweet Holiday is a charming holiday rom-com that delivers all the warm fuzzies you'd expect. Gwen Griffin's quest for a wedding date leads her to the irresistible Logan Fyfe, sparking a fake relationship that quickly turns into something real. Despite the predictable plot and familiar tropes, the chemistry between Gwen and Logan is undeniable, making their journey from opposites to soulmates a joy to follow. With its cozy small-town setting and heartwarming message of self-acceptance, One Sweet Holiday is the perfect feel-good read to get you in the holiday spirit.

This was a cute holiday rom com story. The FMC had a terrible breakup and everyone in town knows about it. Her sister is now getting married and she need a date. The new next door neighbor is very handsome and the FMC tries to fake a relationship with him and bring him as her date until she falls for him for real. It was so good, I highly recommend it

This was a great book. I connected with the characters. I felt engrossed with the plot. I would read another book by this author.

This felt like a sweet christmas read. It was sweet but more than that it was emotional too. I loved how both the characters fit together. The drama that came was from the parents and I wished there was more angst. But sometimes it's unnecessary. I loved how communicative Logan was. He instantly stole my heart. Both of them proved to be made for each other like a puzzle coming together and you dont find that easily in any other books. how each of them pushed the other to be better and do better.

One Sweet Holiday by Lucy Day is a cute, quick, holiday romance that tells the story of Gwen and Logan who are complete opposites that end up being perfect for each other.

Gwen is a bakery owner who needs a date to keep her mother off her back. Logan is renting the house next door and is in town to attend his buddy's wedding. And of course, let the fake dating ensue! I really enjoy this trope and think it's fun and a little silly but not in a cheesy way.

I think that readers who enjoy a fun, clean romance will enjoy One Sweet Holiday by Lucy Day. I know I did!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

The Jasmine Falls books are such feel-good reads and One Sweet Holiday was no different. A little taste of what to expect: A cafe, hot new temporary neighbor (who is also mega rich), a wedding AND fake dating- I was ALL IN! (Bonus for Body positivity with our main character Gwen!!)
Curl up on the couch with some coco and your favorite blanket with this fun, flirty and HEA read!
Thank you to NetGalley and Lucy Day for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
