Who doesn't love a baking FMC and fake dating holiday read. I didn't realize this was part of s series before starting but it was still enjoyable on it's own. I also didn't realize (my own mistake for not reading the full description) that it was a closed door romance. Not that it was bad but just not usually what I read, but I still enjoyed the overall story and characters.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC so I could provide my honest review!

This book was a really cute holiday read. I loved Gwen and Logan together. So much chemistry between the two. What stuck out to me was how many of us have the " I can do it all myself": mentality and before asking for help we wear ourselves down. I was happy to see Logan showing Gwen how to delegate responsibilities as a bakery owner. Will love continuing the series of future Jasmine Falls stories.

This was such a cute holiday read. I have been reading a lot of these this time of year and I really enjoyed this one. First, I loved the characters. I don't always like the instant love trope, but it honestly suited the characters well. Second, I thought this was an original story. I liked that it was set at Christmas time but it can be read any time of year. For an ARC I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got swept into the storyline. It normally takes a bit of time for me to come around, but this one had me hooked from the beginning. I also didn't realize that this was a part of a series but I love that it works just as fine as a stand-alone. Now I just need to read the other books in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Blue Crow Publishing for the ARC.

This was a slow read for me and I couldn't put my finger on why. This fell into the category of very few holiday reads that I don't enjoy. Sometimes rom coms and I just don't connect even though they are my most favorite genre of book and movie.

It wasn't a bad read - I just had a hard time liking the characters.

Gwen was really frustrating which almost made her endearing. Logan was Logan. I didn't like him hiding who he was even though I understood it. The families were irritating, but they are supposed to be. I loved Gwen's friends SO MUCH! I think I'm just an outlier on this one.

I really loved the descriptions of the holiday activities in Jasmine Falls and I wish I lived in a small town like that.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it makes me want to read more of this series. Very sweet and romantic, a perfect book for a rainy day.

3 Stars! Thank you, to the publisher, for this eARC via Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion!

The story touches on love, fake dating and more with a holiday twist. I really enjoyed getting to know Gwen and Logan. Overall, the story was cute and not too cheesy. Plus I am a sucker for holiday themed storylines.

I would definitely recommend it to those who enjoy contemporary romance.

I gotta tell you about this awesome book called One Sweet Holiday—it's the third one in Lucy Day's Jasmine Falls Love Stories series. I was totally hooked, I'm on a mission now to grab the first two books in the series!

Picture this: a fantastic holiday rom-com in a small town called Jasmine Falls, South Carolina. It felt like home right from the get-go. The characters, especially Gwen and Logan, were so cool. I loved their fake-dating adventures and the opposites-attract thing they had going on.

Lucy Day painted this vivid picture of the town; it was like I was right there. And let me tell you, the character interactions were a riot. Gwen and Logan had me grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole story. I love how easy it is to just get hooked and finish it quickly, especially since it's Christmas + Winter season now, just fit-in perfectly with the theme of the book! So if you're into charming small-town vibes, cute banter, and the whole opposites-attract deal.

I totally recommend checking out One Sweet Holiday and the other one if you're into heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romances. Huge thanks to NetGalley and Blue Crow Publishing for letting me dive into these books before they hit the shelves! <3<3

This book got me out of a reading slump. I loved everything about it.

I loved the sister bond between Gwen and Victoria, Logan offering help in the form of skills not money and the support and encouragement Logan provided.

I couldn’t recommend this book enough.

This book was so cute! It’s a perfect holiday read. I didn’t share this review in depth on my bookstagram account, but I did share it with my community on the attached post.

With most romance novels, and holiday books as well, you typically know what you’re going to get, so it’s a true art form to engage the audience all the way through. I loved the characters. I loved the romance arc, and I loved how it all wrapped up in the end!

This is such a great book and will remain on my holiday recommendations for next year!

This was such a feel good holiday read and one I just had to fit in before putting Christmas behind me for another year!

I adored our main character Gwen, she was so relatable! From her clumsiness to her witty comments, I found myself chuckling as I could definitely see myself in some similar scenarios.
Fake dating is one of my favourite tropes and this had an element of this however, it was more like real dating when you read from both perspectives and can see their true feelings from the very beginning.

The only thing this book was missing for me, was more of Logan and Gwen’s relationship. I wanted a little more excitement but enjoyed reading.

I think this book was middle of the road for me. I have never read anything from Lucy Day before, although I think I have heard the name. I do think reading this in January rather than during the Christmas time did affect me a bit, since I am so over Christmas at this point (lol). Should I have read this in December, I could see how this could have been a good cozy read, but it just wasn't what I was looking for at the moment. The characters were cute, though, and the relationship was, too. It was well-executed, but not something I would ever read again.

This was a sweet instalove romance. Loved Gwen and wanted to punch her mom!

Thanks Net Galley for the temporary ARC to review. These thoughts are my own.

I unfortunately do not remember how this ended. I do however remember loving the idea of this, but the FMC rubbed me the wrong way, as did her sister and the rest of her family. It was frustrating, the way she was treated, but I understand the importance of it to the plot. It was enjoyable, but not entirely memorable for me.

A cute slow burn holiday romance. Love a good opposites attract story. Felt like a hallmark romcom movie.

One Sweet Holiday was a cute holiday read. The characters were hilarious and while I could see the plot twists coming from a mile away, it was still a fun romance read. I love that the MMC seems to fall almost immediately and he does so much to reassure the FMC that she is worthy of care and affection. This book was really heartful and I would recommend to anyone looking for a cute and clean romance.

Finally a main character I can relate to! A nice holiday romantic book you don’t want to end! Two complete opposites attracting like opposite poles just like it would happen in real life, but still romantic enough that you get to disconnect and just day dream!

Thanks netgalley for the copy

A sweet closed door fake dating romance. Enjoyed the two love interests and their stories. I did find the plot wasn’t fully formed and the tension/ situations in the novel came about and were solved very quickly, think it could have benefited from a few more chapters.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy

ne Sweet Holiday -Lucy Day

This holiday rom com was everything sweet you’d expect from a romance backdropped by a bakery. Seriously.

Gwen’s sister is getting married. It’s Christmas. It’s her busiest season at work. And did I mention that last year, she cancelled her wedding just days before? Needless to say she’s not looking forward to this holiday season.

And then it all changes when Logan shows up. Scottish, devilishly handsome, billionaire Logan lands right next door.

This could have been entirely too cliched and predictable if it weren’t for Gwen. Her character is really well written, in my opinion, and far too relatable. Perfectionist. Responsible to a fault. Making sure everyone is okay and, sure, a bit of a workaholic. She has layers of family drama to wrestle through and all of it just works.

Logan is everything you want for a leading man. He’s a fixer - which Gwen needs - and it could be overbearing except that he does it with such kindness….and the Scottish brogue.

Try this one if you like :

🧁 small town setting
🧁 some good sister vibes
🧁 romance by proximity
🧁 opposites attract
🧁 holiday parties and ugly Christmas sweaters
🧁 cozy, cute stories that wrap up with a bow

It just made me smile…can you ask for more than that over the holidays?

I really enjoyed the story, the characters were sweet and likeable, the plot was fairly strong and it was quite funny at times.
Nice and Christmassy if you’re looking for a holiday read.

Dnf, I was too bored and didn't care what happened between the main characters. There wasn't enough interest in the relationship
