Gwen and Logan are a good match, I enjoyed the journey of the characters, especially Gwen, it had a lovely hot chocolate at Christmas comforting feeling.

📚Book review: One Sweet Holiday by Lucy Day ✨

I totally recommend this if you like: opposites attract, small town romance, next door neighbor romance! 💕

❄️About: Gwen Griffin runs a cafe in the small town of Jasmine Falls and her sister is getting married. She wants to make sure everything is perfect for her sister. Her last breakup still has her mom (who sees her family as a reflection of her so everything must be perfect) and the town still talking so she must find her own wedding date! Enter Logan Fyfe. The groom’s old Scottish classmate and extremely wealthy. He’s trying to avoid his family and decided to hide out in this small town by renting Gwen’s sister’s cabin right next door. He fell for her pretty quickly and ends up making her realize that she can’t do everything on her own. They pretend to be each other’s wedding date when in reality they both fell for each other hard❄️

❄️This book kinda reminded me of myself because I was the type of person who hates asking for help and also felt compared to others by my family. The book comes out November 6th ❄️

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

I enjoyed reading this book, it was a great way to relax at the end of the day! I thought the bakery setting added some fun details to the story. I also loved the inclusion of the dysfunctional families as it made the storyline feel more realistic. The relationship between Gwen and Logan was sweet and you couldn’t help but root for her sister to take a stand! Great book!

Main Characters: Gwen & Logan


I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline with Gwen and Logan. They were complete opposites that complimented each other in the best ways possible. Gwen had her quirks that Logan was able to help her through each time they arose. He was patient and more than willing to hold her hand through it all. He gave her the best kind of support. Honesty and patience.

Gwen, God love her. I saw so much of myself in her and couldn't help but get all in my feelings throughout this whole book. So many things she felt and went through I could relate on so many levels. Especially when it came to her thoughts, that always seemed to be reinforced with her parents words and actions.

We are who we are because of who helped mold us. It's hard fo break from what you have been told your whole life by those that are supposed to love you unconditionally. Not to mention those same people are supposed to guide you and help you along the way. Not hinder you and treat you like you are the plague.

Logan also had some of the worst people in his life as his family. And it was a wonder that he even spoke to them at all. Like Gwen's parents his mother and grandfather took things to a much higher level of disfunction and petty. I absolutely couldn't stand them. They did some of the most underhanded things just to get what they want.

My heart and mind was in such a limbo reading this book because I feel like I was in the middle of everything with my family. Right along with Gwen and Logan. It was eye opening to be able to see myself in someone else's eyes.




I received a complimentary copy via the author and Netgalley. All opinions are my own, honest and voluntary.

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me this book.

I had a very nice time reading this book.
The male MC,Logan, is just incredible. He is understanding, caring, but also doesn’t hesitate to put boundaries. Qualities that make him a great boyfriend.

I also loved Gwen as she is loyal, nice, and also caring. The fact that she works in a cafe and is baking added some points for me as I usually enjoy the stories where there is food involved lol.

I also enjoyed the dual pov. However I found that the story was a bit too long at certain times, which is why I would rate it 4.5 stars.

Thank you for the author for providing me with a free ARC!

One Sweet Holiday is the perfect Christmas read. Grab your hot coca and your blanket. You’re in for a sweet treat!

This book is the cozy Christmas read you’ve been looking for. I read it in one weekend.

Logan is a genuinely good guy and it’s a nice change from the usual alpha-hole but a sweet and supportive partner.

Finally, I really enjoyed that Gwen was tall instead of your typical small heroine. As someone who is 5’10, I felt I could relate even more with her.

One Sweet Holiday….

I loved this story! So cute and charming. The charmer was Logan! How sweet he was to Gwen just made the story. It was instant attraction for those two.
Gwen’s sister is getting married. Logan comes in for the wedding and rents the house next to Gwen. Logan is trying to get some breathing room from his family and they as putting pressure on him. Especially his grandfather who to be is plain rude.
Gwen is trying to make her bakery a success. Proving to her mother especially that what she does is great. Gwen’s mother and Logan’s grandfather are the characters that I didn’t like. But they did make the story.
You can feel the love Logan has for Gwen throughout the whole story. And you can feel Gwen letting her walls come down.
A wonderful story!

I enjoyed reading this book, I didn’t realize it was apart of a series though so it threw me off a little bit. But was still able to enjoy.

I loved this book from the start. The characters really made this story. I really liked the banter between the two main characters. I also loved that there was no 2nd act breakup.

I stayed up late to finish the book. It really was a hug in a book.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read Gwen and Logan’s story.

This book was okay. When I requested it I didn’t realize it was third in a series. It worked as a stand alone but I always feel more connected if I read the other books. The setting was fun and I enjoyed the characters. I wish it had been fleshed out a little more. I want to see both Logan and Gwen to tell their mothers off but it never happened. I may go back and read the other books in the series.

One Sweet Holiday is like the title suggests a sweet holiday romance that takes place in a cute small town following our main characters local baker and adorable female main character Gwen and the hotshot from Scotland Logan who's ready to steal her heart.
With fake dating and Christmas vibes this is the perfect read for this time of the year and I highly recommend it!

Thank you to Netgally for providing this ARC.
Overall, this was a nice quick holiday read. While I liked the fast pace it also made the book feel like it took place in a short amount of time. I was quite surprised when it was already wedding time and not only a few days later. While this is a cute little holiday read it was slightly annoying how the FMC was so down on Christmas spirit and cheer. Because of her sour stance on Christmas, I was expecting more of a Christmas spirit rally at the end. I was also excepting a little more rom with this com, but I’m not upset about it.

One Sweet Holiday is a cute story that follows Gwen (the small town baker) and Logan (the mega-rich venture capitalist) when they end up neighbors for the holidays. I thoroughly enjoyed this story of about two people looking to find the balance between work/life, which shows up in the most unexpected places. Lucy Day writes a lovely narrative that keeps you interested and curious about what happens next. Full of fun and laughter, this one is perfect for a quick holiday read.

Aside from Christmas spirit this book has fake dating and a family drama. I like how Logan always comfort Gwen when she's feeling down.
This book is cute but the plot of the story is lacking. The POV of the main characters are too much for me. This book is a dual pov but it felt like it's too much because the POV of the main characters seems to be more, than the actual scene in the book.

“Thank you NetGalley for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.”

This was such a cute holiday romance. I enjoy a good spicy book as much as the next person but it was refreshing to read a romance that doesn’t focus on the spice.

Gwen is a cafe/bakery owner in small town Jasmine Falls. Gwen is a perfectionist, refuses to ask for help, & is way too hard on herself. With her Sisters wedding just around the corner she is desperate to find a plus one to take, if only to get her mom off her back.

Enter Logan Fyfe the hottie Scot Bazillionaire who is renting the house next door to escape his family for the holidays.

I think I related so much to Gwen in so many ways that made this read special for me. Themes of setting boundaries, asking for help, putting yourself first, listening to your heart and going for what you want. It was also very refreshing to have two individuals communicate open and honestly with one another. The miscommunication tropes really get under my skin sometimes.

The book is written in dual POV Gwen & Logan.

Tropes: insta love, opposites attract, fake dating

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley, Blue Crow Publishing, and of course, Lucy Day, for the opportunity to read this cute-as-can-be Christmas romance before it’s released next week.

‘One Sweet Holiday’ is one sweet book, and in the few hours it took me to read it, it brought me so much joy!

‘Tis the season, and a year on from calling off her own wedding, Gwen is busier than ever, helping her sister get ready to walk down the aisle. Determined to prove to her family that she’s doing just fine, Gwen sets off to find herself a date for the special occasion, but living in a small country town makes that much easier said than done.

With only weeks to go until the big day (and Christmas), Gwen is getting nervous. But lo and behold, Logan, a charming guest of the groom, arrives to stay in the house next door and offers to be her fake date for the festivities.

Is this where their story ends? Not even close, but I won't spoil it so take my word for it when I say…

This is a MUST-read for the holiday season!

This was a super cute Hallmarky (but wayyy less cheesy) holiday romance. Personally, I could have used some more Christmas magic in this book, but I think it being subtly sprinkled in helped lessen the cheese factor. Logan is a dreamy Scottish MMC who calls Gwen love and gorgeous, swoon. Gwen the FMC is curvy and owns her own bakery, which she is working hard to establish as a legitimate business in her mother's eyes. Their paths cross as Logan is in town for Gwen's sister's wedding and renting the sister's house. The house that is conveniently Gwen's neighbor. Sparks fly instantly for the two and they enter into a fake dating scenario.

This was an adorable holiday romcom. We have fake dating and insta love. I think Logan is just an adorable man who is definitely classified as a cinnamon roll. We have Gwen who just can’t seem to get out of her own way and should believe in herself more. But, Logan really brings out the best in her and it’s very sweet. I did want a little more from the ending. I was hoping someone would put Gwen’s mom in her place but this was still a cute story! A quick read that had me swooning over Logan. Definitely a closed door holiday romance if you aren’t looking for spice.

Cute holiday story. Logan is in town for his friends wedding and he meets Gwen, the town baker. They fake date to keep her nightmare mom off her back. Lots of family drama on both sides. Closed door 🌶️ and that’s not my preference, but it was sweet and a cute romance.

Lucy Day's One Sweet Holiday is a great Christmas read.  A fabulous baker/business owner in small-town South Carolina has no time for romance, and there are really no possibilities, much to her meddling mother's dismay. Then, the twist...a hot Scottish man moves in next door for the month. leading up to her sister's wedding.  She learns he's reclusive and there to get away. They meet when he comes to her house to get a key for the cabin he's renting and he finds her in somewhat of a state of undress as she is trying on dresses for her sister's wedding and the zipper is stuck. They become friends, then later fake dates for her sister's wedding.  Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with an ARC ebook to read for this review. My opinions are all m my own.
