This was a first time read for me by this author and it definitely won't be my last. I am a little late in reading this as it is a holiday romance, but it can certainly be enjoyed any time of the year. It's a very cute story that is sure to warm your heart and put a smile on your face. Gwen is always looking out for everyone's happiness but her own. That's why when her sister is getting married, she does everything she can to make it the perfect day for her. That included finding a fake date for the wedding so the towns people don't focus their attention on her instead of the bride. The town is still talking about her epic break-up, so arriving alone would only focus their attention on her. So she decides to ask her rich neighbor, someone totally out of her league, to be her fake date. As they spend time together, Gwen and Logan's sweet friendship begins to develop into something more. While in theory fake dating sounds like an easy solution, when the heart gets involved, it's a whole different issue. Maybe it's time that Gwen finally look out for her happiness and take a chance at love.
A very sweet and light read that totally warmed my heart. This story was charming and had endearing characters and I had a lovely time reading it. I would definitely love to read more of this author's work.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I want to start off this review by first saying thank you to Lucy Day, Blue Crow Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC to review honestly.

I was really excited to start this book over the holidays! As my first ever festive, Christmassy, romance novel I was buzzy to jump in and feel all the holiday feels!! Unfortunately, this read just didn’t grab me and I thought there would be way more of a Christmas vibe. I ended up DNFing at 48%. I wasn’t connecting to the characters or the plot and found it hard to enjoy the insta-love aspect. The fake dating trope also came a little too late in the read for me. It didn’t feel like much was happening so I decided to call it quits. I like a romance with more of a build up and tension. There was nothing bad with this book, it just wasn’t for me.

A did love the sweet, kind, and caring nature of our MMC. He gave off sexy, Scottish lumberjack vibes. An absolute beaut. I loved the small town vibes and the sisterly bond between Gwen and Victoria.

Overall, from what I read, it was cute but not memorable. As such, I give this read a neutral three stars out of five.

Would recommend to anyone who wants to try a sweet romcom over the holidays.

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

One Sweet Holiday is a delightful romantic comedy that hits all the right notes!

In One Sweet Holiday, you meet Gwen and Logan. As Gwen works tirelessly as a local baker, Logan comes to visit the little town for a wedding they will both attend. At its core, this book is the perfect romance. I struggled a bit in the beginning due to the lack of plot. It focused more on their obsession with each other than on their characters' lives. I appreciate when a romance develops over time; love at first sight is not my cup of tea. However, as the plot unfolded, I fell in love with the story. The characters just needed time to bloom.

I do find the title 'holiday romcom' a bit far-fetched. While the book is set around Christmas, I didn't get a true Christmas feeling. It doesn't follow the typical 'family gathers for Christmas' or 'lovers meet on the ice skating rink' narrative. Instead, it's more ‘two people meeting around Christmas time’. I don't see it as a significant problem, though. The story is lively enough to be considered a romcom.

In the end, I enjoyed the story and the characters. It was very cute, and the characters were lively and engaging. The humor was delightful, and I look forward to reading other books in the same universe to learn more about these characters!

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for letting me read this book. It was a pleasure to have this opportunity.

I loved this story it was fun read and made me want to bake. I loved how sweet Logan is and how much he just wants to help not questions asked. This is a fake dating to lovers that you will sure to devour and have you cheering not only for the two main characters but also for the love of the small town.

Gwen is all about making everyone happy but herself, which includes making sure her sister's wedding is perfect. That includes fake dating her hunky, rich next door neighbor so the attention will not be on her. After her last breakup that the town is still talking about, she just wants to focus on her bakery. So pretending to date Logan is the perfect plan, until it isn't and your heart has other idea's. Can she make it threw her sisters wedding and get back to her real life or should she put her heart back out there?

Thank you to NetGalley and Blue Crow Publishing for copy of this story for my honest review.

I'm in my romance era. And this one was so funny. definitely my type of book. Cute, sweet, funny. A good time.

Honestly I nice sweet and cute holiday romance loved it perfect book to get you out of a terrible reading slump. Can read it anytime of year honestly just gives you a nice reminder about the holidays coming up

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

Although I read this book after the holidays, I still got that warm cozy feeling.
Another great book by Lucy Day.
I always look forward to reading her books.

Easy read. FMC doesn’t go through with her 1st wedding. She feels she can never do anything correctly in her mother's eyes. MMC has his own family drama. The meet cute and instant attraction was nice. Not a fan, the family drama wasn't fully resolved since it was 75% of the storyline. The HEA felt rushed. It leaves room for a sequel.

I devoured this book. The chemistry and banter between Gwen and Logan was incredible. I have not one bad thing to say about this book. Truly felt like I was in a magical Christmas town. I loved the growth in Gwen throughout the book and her character was so relatable. I would love to see what happens with Victoria next.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read One Sweet Holiday. A quick and easy sweet read that I would recommend to others.

I love small town Christmas romances so was really excited about this book. I loved Logan and he was so charming, thoughtful and adorable. I wanted to really like Gwen but I thought all she did was complain through the entire book and although I understand how horrible her mom was, I really got sick of all the complaining after I kept reading about it for most of the book. Apart from that, I enjoyed the small town, fake dating, opposite attract trope.

Thank you NetGalley and Blue Crow Books for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Perfectionist extraordinaire Gwen Griffin finds herself in a Christmas chaos of her own making. As her sister's wedding approaches in the tiny hometown of Jasmine Falls, South Carolina, Gwen is determined to ensure a flawless celebration. The only problem? Gwen needs a date, and her romantic track record in the small town is less than stellar.

Running her café with expertise, Gwen decides on a pragmatic approach—find a plus-one, even if it means resorting to a fake date. Enter Logan Fyfe, the charming and gorgeous guy next door, who happens to be a hot Scottish billionaire. With his limited stay in town, Logan seems like the perfect candidate to play the role of Gwen's date. The plan to pretend to date Logan appears foolproof until Gwen discovers that beneath Logan's devilish smirk and delicious brogue lies a big-hearted man who sees Gwen for who she truly is. As the wedding draws near, Gwen finds herself unable to fake her feelings any longer. Logan's presence and genuine affection break through her defences, making her realize that maybe, just maybe, she is enough just the way she is.

It explores the delightful dynamics of opposites attracting and the magic of holiday romance. With humour, warmth, and a touch of festive chaos, Lucy Day crafts a tale of authenticity, self-discovery, and the risk of opening one's heart during the most wonderful time of the year.

It is a delightful holiday rom-com that captures the essence of small-town charm, Christmas chaos, and the magic of unexpected love. Gwen Griffin's journey from perfectionism to embracing her true self is a heartwarming and relatable exploration of personal growth. Gwen's quest for the perfect date and the introduction of Logan Fyfe, the charismatic Scottish billionaire, sets the stage for a series of humorous and endearing moments. The author skillfully navigates the complexities of fake dating, bringing to life a romance that goes beyond pretence.

The small-town setting adds a cosy backdrop to the unfolding love story, and the ensemble of characters contributes to the warm atmosphere of the narrative. Lucy Day's writing combines humour, emotion, and festive spirit, creating a perfect blend for a holiday-themed romcom. It is a feel-good read that will leave readers with a smile on their faces, reminding them that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it. Lucy Day's storytelling expertise shines through in this heartwarming tale of love, acceptance, and the joy of being true to oneself.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc.

As one who has been prone to overthinking, and who enjoys a good accent, this book was relatable. The MC is a small town baker and the love interest is as opposite as they get. Kinda fun to daydream about a rich Scot coming along and falling in love.

I tried, but at 59% of the book, I think it's safe to say it doesn't work for me. When done right, instalove can be super. This was not it. Story was very one note, flat and the chemistry felt forced.

Very cute book, Holliday romcom are the most funny 😁
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for this copy 💕✨

When the holiday spirit collides with small-town charm, delivering a heartwarming romantic comedy that will leave you with a grin.

The chemistry between Gwen and Logan is not just palpable but downright electric, creating moments of laughter and warmth that resonate throughout the story. The author skillfully weaves a tale of opposites attracting, reminding us that love often comes when and where we least expect it.

What makes this truly shine is its ability to blend sweet romance with genuine, relatable characters.

If you're anything like me, you love those sappy Hallmark Christmas movies. You know- the ones with a small town, an outsider, a bakery, and mistletoe. With that said, you'll love One Sweet Holiday! I could not have asked for a better novelized Hallmark-style movie. Gwen was completely relatable as I identified with her on so many things. Such a sweet romantic comedy for the holiday season.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own

It was a fun romance with entertaining secondary stories thrown in. I fell in love with Logan right away, which is a big plus with any rom-con.
Great story plus fun characters equals a must-read, in my opinion

I thought this was a super sweet Christmas novel! I loved the two MCs and thought their relationship was super fun. I'm always a sucker for a needs-a-wedding-date trope, and this one was perfect! It was such a fun book to curl up with over the holidays!
