This is a sweet, small town romance that I really enjoyed. Logan is such a patient and genuinely good guy, you can't help loving him. Gwen has things to work through and I was rooting for her to finally figure out how to let go of her fears and be her best self. These two coming together felt natural and is perfect for the reader looking for a closed-door romance.
Such a cute book! I loved how much a gentleman Logan is and how he fully supports Gwen! It’s a cute story, foreign billionaire comes to town and falls in love with small town girl who owns a cute cafe/bakery! A closed door romance with a lot of tension! Entertaining from start to finish!
Thank you to Blue Crow Publishing & NetGalley for this book. This has all the cute, cozy, Christmas vibes. A small town romance with over the top decor, noisy neighborhoods, a baker, and a neighbor from Scotland. This is such a sweet holiday rom com, from the Christmas parties, to the realistic family drama, to the busyness of trying to get everything done at the holidays. I’m excited for more books from this author.
Another holiday romance in the books!
Gwen owns a coffee shop and also is a rising baker in a small town. She’s taken up a lot: a lot of orders up through the holidays, her sister’s wedding cake and trying to manage her overbearing mother.
Logan is a guest to Gwen’s sister’s wedding and has traveled from Scotland to is looking to take some time and make a huge family decision. He ends up meeting Gwen who alters all his plans on figuring out what he needs to do with his family. Through some push from her sister, Logan agrees to be Gwen’s fake date for the wedding allowing her mother to back off of Gwen a bit.
I enjoyed Logan’s character. I loved how he was always a comfort for Gwen and knew how to take care of her. Both Gwen and Logan suffer from trying to find a balance in their own families. Gwen is a people pleaser so she tends to put herself last most of the time.
I really liked this book very funny. I was hoping for more spice.. but it was really cute. I enjoyed the playful banter and it was refreshing to have the characters be so honest
Such a cute, fun, closed door, festive rom com. I adore a small town romance. I loved both Gwen and Logan, and together they were such a good couple, with such great chemistry. And the Dual POV showing how they were both obsessed with each other from the beginning made it even better. Logan has definitely been added to my top tier book boyfriends list.
Cute romance about a baker trying to prove herself and learning to rely on people around her and a Scot trying to handle tense family issues and learning what truly matters in life. I enjoyed Gwen and Logan, and their sweet love story.
Lovely story. I really enjoyed this book. Nice and easy to read with a fun lighthearted story line. Recommend
What an adorable and quick holiday read. The characters were absolutely lovely and I can’t wait to read the other two Jasmine Falls books.
Thank you to NetGalley and Lucy Day for the opportunity to read this wonderful ARC!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
2.5 stars.
Cute idea, but there seemed to be a lot of repetitive filler without much substance. The MC has a lot of self esteem issues and constant negativity. The male lead seems great, but the insta love was a bit much. Christmas was thrown in there, but quickly forgotten. Then the end wraps up super fast with some lingering questions.
When Scottish billionaire Logan Fyfe escapes to small town Jasmine Falls, South Carolina to clear his head from family drama, he quickly becomes smitten by his neighbour and local bakery owner Gwen Griffin. The two neighbours make a deal to fake-date until Gwen’s sister’s wedding to help Gwen dodge her over-bearing mother’s attempts at matchmaking. But as they spend more time with one-another, they begin to realize they may have caught feelings. Can two people from opposite sides or the world and completely different backgrounds make it work as a couple?
You’ll want to pick up this new sweet, Christmas-themed novel by Lucy Day this holiday season. The small-town setting gives classic holiday vibes and has just the right amount of love and spice. Enjoy!
One Sweet Holiday but Lucy Day is a cute rom-com just in time for the holiday. Gwen Griffin has recently broken up with her cheating fiance much to her mother’s dismay. Now her sister is getting married and Gwen has to face the wedding with no date. Enter Logan Fyfe an extremely rich and good-looking Scotsman who is surprisingly wise and centered.
This was a mix of opposites attract and fake love becoming real love. A cute heartwarming story read in front of my Christmas tree. I want to thank Netgalley and Lucy Day for this ARC.
I always love a good fake dating romp especially for big events like weddings in small towns! This is a perfect cute romcom for the holiday season and who doesn't like a sexy scottish man as their fake date! It had a very hallmark romcom feel!
This was perfect, very festive, great chemistry, Gwen and Logan are so cute. I loved the family dynamics, they gave the story some more interest rather than just purely focussed on the relationship aspects.
I love holiday romcoms with all the feels, and this did not disappoint. Our sweet FMC, Gwen, owns a bakery, and like many of us, struggles with confidence. Our MMC, Logan, with his sexy Scottish accent, has his own set of problems. His stay in town is temporary, but are his feelings for Gwen? This is such a sweet and loving romcom. It was a great addition to my holiday romcom sprint.
I enjoyed this story of a woman who gets pushed around by her family, is in business for herself, has a wonderful relationship with her sister, and meets a hot and supportive man (who just happens to have a Scottish brogue). I did feel like this story and on and on a bit, could use some editing down. But I'll definitely read Lucy Day again, she writes great characters.
My heart is full! This book was the perfect escape and I was completely entertained. This heartwarming, funny story is full of sweetness, romance, sizzle, witty dialog and banter. I adored the amazing characters and wonderful, well written storyline. One of the best opposites attract I have ever read! It's a page turner for sure and I loved every second of it.
Fun read! When a hot Scott neighbor comes to town it turns Gwen’s world upside down. Gwen was a sweet people pleaser pushover. Being second best in her parents eyes made her doubt herself. Logan was a game changer. He made Gwen value herself more. This book was full of laughs and small town fun. Thank you NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a cute and easy Christmas book. We meet the “hot Scot” Logan who’s from Scotland and also very rich. We also meet a small town baker who owns a cafe, Gwen. It seems that these two are at different points in their life but the small town Christmas magic works its charm and changes things. Gwen is a likable main character with relatable issues to deal with. I didn’t realize this was a series until I was in the middle of it. I think I would’ve rated it higher if I read all the books involved. Thanks to net galley for my copy!
The tension is building for Gwen and her newly-discovered interest, Logan. He’s running away from family issues and Gwen is running into trouble saying no to others. Logan gives her the perfect reason to pretend to be wedding dates and a lot more! Spicy and inclusive! I loved this book.
