A decent christmas read. This wasn’t a bad book however I found the two main characters fairly irritating at times which brings the rating down. A quick Christmas read

This was definitely a fun and quick holiday read that I was able to devour in one sitting. The pacing in the book was lovely and had me easily flipping to the next page to get more of characters of Nick and Scarlett's story. It is emotional but also comforting in good ways.

I wasn't sure about the character Scarlett at the beginning of this book, but once her backstory was explained, it will be nice if it had mentioned in beginning to understand Scarlett little better. Nick, on the other hand, was loveable throughout the entirety of the book. Your typical sweet sexy guy next door, who is exactly what the FMC doesn't realize, is exactly what she needs.

Overall, the book was a sweet and clean romantic book success for me and hit all my holiday feel-good spots. The loving dogs add an extra touch of warmth to this closed-door romance delightful story.

If you want to read a great Christmas story then read Tiny Home for Christmas.it is perfect for busy people who want to read and quickly as well. Holidays are busy season so it’s perfect book!

Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

I appreciate the hard work the author did to write a novel! I always am in awe when someone can write, finish and publish a book.
It was a cute holiday romance, but it didn’t drag me in. I couldn’t get attached to the characters and their stories.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, NetGalley, Erin and New Fable Press for this ARC.

Sometimes you read a book and you don’t really know how to review it. This was a book like that. I always find it hard to review such a book without giving spoilers, but I will try.

Scarlett and Nick are forced to stay together to survive a heavy storm. I'm not sure about the enemies to lovers, I would say strangers to lovers (not that it really matters). The storyline was well thought out and made this a sweet, clean (no spice) holiday Romance. I didn't really like Scarlett till I understood her backstory and could relate to her. The backstory of Scarlett could have been brought in earlier or in more drops throughout the story as the reader would probably relate and liked her more from the beginning (in my humble opinion). I liked Nick from the start. It was nice to learn more about them and see their development. I had some good laughs and moments that were emotional (TW parental abuse, pregnancy loss). The world-building was nicely done and I loved the landscape that was described. There were some repetitive moments and because I didn't like Scarlett, some parts were hard to get through. That said, I am glad I finished the book and overall it was a very cute read.
3.5 stars rounded up

Scarlet is making her way home for Christmas in her transit van. Nick is also on the way home in his Tiny House.

When a rare freak snow storm hits Georgia they are stuck in a campground when the power goes out.

The two are very different people with different views. They agree to disagree in order to survive the storm.

What I liked:
The winter atmosphere
The Christmas theme
enemies to friends
the two dogs antics

What I didn't like:
the way they talked to each other
the disregard for the others views
some family members

A cute Christmas story if you don't look too hard into the facts. A little to convenient at times.

Thanks to netgalley and New Fable Press for the arc.

A fun holiday encounter! I loved seeing a more in-depth view of living in a Tiny Home and Transit Van. Such clever ideas and creative solutions, I found myself going down a rabbit hole on YT, lol.

Scarlett and Nick are both extremely different, but being stranded in the storm brings them together, even if reluctantly. They both have a pup as a best friend, and I love their interactions, whether hostile or friendly.

The story shows how you can't judge someone by their appearance, and there's always more to someone if you take the time to know them. This was a delightful enemies to more romance for the holidays!

This was a fun holiday read. It has relatable characters with baggage so it's definitely relatable to a lot of people. I found this book to have good pacing and flew through it. If you love a good Hallmark movie you will want to read this book. I would recommend this book for the holidays.


Thank you NetGalley and New Fable Press for allowing me to read this ARC in advance for my honest opinion.

Sweet holiday romance about two full-timers that get stranded next to each other in a freak snowstorm. I felt Scarlett's character went from showing no real interest in Nick to confiding all her deep dark secrets in an unrealistic time frame. But its feel-good fiction with a happy ending!

Tiny homes, snow and dogs! A fantastic quick Christmassy read, I enjoyed getting to know both characters and their dogs and tiny homes. The storylines were deeper than I expected but I think this only helped the story,

Definitely recommend this book, especially for a Christmas read.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Not for me I’m afraid. What a couple of rude mean people these two were. They both got themselves into this situation. Then the female lead is not concerned that her dog hasn’t peed or pooped on over 24 hours, just pretending he has. The male lead is boasting that he cooked bacon in front of a vegan out of spite just to be rude. Just awful.

For a book set mainly in one small space, the narrative was consistently entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down. At first, Scarlett is difficult to warm to, but this is explained later. If I’m honest, I would have liked a teensy bit of spice at the end (there is no spice) but the romance felt real and organic.

This will appeal to you if you enjoy:
Forced proximity
Enemies to lovers
Snowed in
Dual POV
A cosy read, for the most part.

TW:
Pregnancy loss
Parental emotional abuse

Thank you to NetGalley and Erin Lucy for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

🚨 Please see the TW at the end


I liked the beginning of the book. The section between the beginning and middle bored me, but once I made it to the halfway mark, I really liked the story. The section I didn't enjoy was repetitive and mundane and felt Scarlett's attitude toward Nick was ungrateful. I get they were strangers stranded in the woods together, so a sense of wariness is warranted, I just did not enjoy the execution of that. However, the shift in mood and acceptance made the story move forward, and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book.

There are moments of heaviness intertwined, and once we really get the full extent of why Scarlett and Nick are the way they are and what brought them on the road, the story becomes that much better.

I love tiny homes so the title caught me. This book was really cute! Scarlett is on her way to spend Christmas with her family. She lives in her van and while traveling home she gets stuck in a bad snow storm so she decides to pull over and stay at a campground. Nick is also traveling home for Christmas and has his tiny home, he also decides to park at the same campground. They end up parked next to each other and it takes on from there. I loved their banter and definitely had some laughs. I would recommend to anyone looked for a cute Christmas read!

LOVED the enemies to lovers aspect of this story between Scarlett and Nick. Forced proximity is always a fun trope for me. This book was a great way to kick off December and a month of holiday reading! Thank you to the author, Erin Lucy, and Net Galley for gifting me a copy of this book in return for a honest review.🤍🎄

I love a cute Christmas story and this is a cute Christmas story. A fun easy read that gives you that warm Christmas feeling. It’s forced proximity, thanks to Mother Nature. Two opposite minded individuals who butt heads. They have snappy comments to each other with witty comebacks, and who doesn’t enjoy fun banter!
Nick and Scarlett also each have adorable dogs who are important characters. They both have siblings who tease and taunt!
I was skeptical if I would enjoy this book because I don’t really get the tiny house thing. But, it had the opposite effect. The descriptions in the book helped me see why someone would enjoy tiny house living.
If you are looking for some laughs and warm Christmas fun this is a book you should read!

She's spent the last four years living in her transit van turned tiny home escaping from the emotional and mental abuse of her parents and failing to trust anyone else because of that abuse. He's spent the last few years living in his tiny home and enjoying solitude after finally escaping a toxic relationship. Neither trusts other people and both are accustomed to their solitude with their trusty pups by their side, but during a freak winter storm they get snowed in at a campground that they both took refuge in to weather the storm and end up having to weather the storm together. However, as they grudgingly deal with each other and slowly start to get to know each other, they find that maybe they weren't as happy in solitude as they thought. This story is an amazingly realistic look at the damage an abusive parent can be as well as the struggle to overcome the self-doubt that the abuse instills in you. The book is extremely well written and the plot is outstanding with some hard-hitting issues, while remaining a cute Christmas romance that will entertain both those looking for a holiday happy ending and those who desire that their stories have more protein to them! I am really looking forward to more books by this author as she is definitely going on my "must explore more" list! FYI: you will need tissues for a few scenes in the book, but will laugh out loud at other times!

I could not finish the book; could not read past where the main character, Scarlett, calls eggs “bird babies”. I found Scarlett’s character very annoying; Nick, owner of the tiny home, was a more interesting and appealing character.

Really didn’t enjoy the story. I couldn’t muster enough enthusiasm to finish the novel. The premise of the story didn’t work for me.

This was a lovely read and very festive.

Scarlett lives in a motorhome and is fiercely independent. Nick lives in a tiny home and is also independent. They have two things in common - their best friends are dogs and they're snowed in on their way to visiting family at Christmas...

This has a classic cosy Christmas read - two opposite characters, a lot of snow, a love which develops slowly, wounds which need healing...

Although it was predictable, I really enjoyed this story because it was easy to read and also because the characters were well developed and fun. Their conversations felt very genuine and I enjoyed getting to know them.

Really pleased with this one. Highly recommended for a cosy Christmas read - especially if it's snowing outside!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC!

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I loved Scarlett and Nick and their characters worked so well together. Being stuck in a house during a snowstorm and cute dogs yes please!!!
