Loved this snowed in second chance romance. It was light and happy what every Christmas romance needs to be.

I got about halfway through this book before I had to abandon it — so far, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the writing or story, but the tropes and some of the things happening to the characters are hitting a little too close to home for me to enjoy it, because I'm too focused on my uncomfortable feelings. Will definitely revisit it and try again though, after a bit of distance!

[REVIEW: All I Want is You by Falon Ballard]

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to @NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC. Opinions are my own.

This was more sappy, sweet than steamy but still a fun, quick wintery read nonetheless!

It had all the tropes we love; enemies to lovers, snowed in at a mountain lodge resort, fake dating and only one bed (of course — must keep warm!). 🔥

I also loved that both MCs were romance writers and which played right into their HEA and the story they wrote together.

This one pulls no surprises but was enjoyable all the same!

This was a nice enemies to lovers, second chamce holiday romance with very nice spice! I always love this author and her previous books, however this one took me a beat to really get into it. May e I just wasn't in the holiday spirit as much when I read it. I did love that there wasn't a third act break up but more of a pause so that is always a favorite of mine. I enjoyed the close proximity of being snowed in and how they chose to communicate and lay all the cards on the table. I look forward to the authors next book!

This was a cute and quick holiday novella! Normally I don’t gravitate toward holiday novellas because they can be too insta love for me but this is softening me toward that because Fallon did such a lovely job with the second chance romance and cozy vibes.

This was such a cute little novella! I am really coming around to second chance romances. A great holiday book!

“All I Want is You” was such a fun holiday read. I loved the storyline, the cozy setting and unlikely romance. I couldn’t put it down and just loved this one!

Another wonderful entry into the Falon Ballard oeuvre. I love a good holiday rom-com, and was not disappointed by the chaos of Jessica and Nick.
With the promise of exes/professional enemies, forced proximity, and some old-fasioned getting snowed in with only one bed, this story was elevated further with the addition of both Jessica and Nick being Romance authors. Very fun meta-awareness abounded. Fun holiday read, definintely recommend.

Cute second chance holiday romance, forced proximity, professional rivals, banter, “one bed” scenario, chemistry was strong with characters, but there wasn’t anything that made this stand out from other traditional holiday reads

The CUTEST holiday read!!! Ballard did the best job writing this holiday novel. Second chance romance, one bed, and the perfect amount of spice! Sometimes writers add so much spice that it takes away from the plot, but this was not the case for this story! I loved it and would gift it to a friend!

A cute little second romance read! I really enjoyed the story over all and found myself sitting down and reading the whole thing in one go!
My only complaint was that it felt like the characters recovered from the past way too quickly.
For as heartbroken as Jessica was, she too quickly and easily moved on from it.
But, overall, I truly enjoyed the story!

While this was a holiday book, it wasn’t overly Christmasy. I really enjoyed the banter and chemistry between the Nick and Jess. I wish Nick hadn’t been a stupid boy about the relationship and ended things without talking to Jess. The book was a quick read and had kept me engaged and laughing. Perfect book to read when snowed in (like I have been the last few days!) I’ve loved every single one of Falon’s books and this was no exception. She’s a must read author for me.

This was cute but nothing special. I read it last month and can barely remember anything about it…

Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy

Thank you G.P Putnam's Sons for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own!

I really enjoyed this one, especially while I read it around the holidays. I thought both main characters were relatable and funny. They had great chemistry and banter. I really thought the ex lovers/enemies to lovers trope was done really well here. It never felt like it was predictable even though most romance stories we know how it will end.

This story follows Jessica and Nick who are both writers and were lovers early on in their careers. Jess has struggled in her writing and has tried her best to keep writing and as of late has struggles to find her next book idea. Nick on the other had has managed to do very well for himself in the writing of his books. He is famously known for his romance novels not having a happy ending. So when Jess and Nick end up stuck in the same city with a very similar book idea. Will they just write the romance novel or make romance themselves?

I have absolutely loved all of Fallon Ballard's previous romance books - and this one was no different! I thought this book was so cute!

This is a sweet and heartwarming second chance romance, about two romance authors who end up being forced to share a hotel room during a big snow storm. Nick and Jess (yay for the New Girl reference!) had great chemistry, and really cared for one another. I was mad at Nick about their breakup years before though, but he did manage to win me back over.

Overall, this is a sweet and festive romance with lots of great tropes and spice!

Thanks to Netgalley and Putnam for a gift copy of All I Want is You.

I absolutely loved it. I completed devoured it and didn’t want to put it down. I loved getting some behind the scenes of the writing process.The scene when Nick and Jess write the sex scene for their book was 🔥. Some people might find their breakup reason to be cringey but I was able to be ok with it considering the other reasons for the breakup.

It’s a great Christmas/winter read. Definitely add it to your TBR .

* Books with authors as MCs

Who knew a winter story could be so spicy! 🌶️ This book was absolutely fantastic! I was rooting for Nick and Jess the whole time. Loved that they were both writers too. I have loved all of Falon’s other books, so I knew this one would be amazing but I have to say, I think this is now my top favorite of hers! So very good!

I love all her books and this was no different. I find her writing hilarious and I immediately feel like I know the characters intimately. I will continue recommending this author and all her work!

A perfect holiday book. Totally bingeable - a book you will eat up. Meet Jess and Nick - who are both romance writers. A story about writers - PERFECT! After breaking up five years ago - they meet again at an event and then they get snowed in. This one was pretty well paced, heartwarming and super enjoyable. Definitely read this one if you like second chance romances, forced proximity, multiple POV. This trope recipe is perfect. Thank you to NETGALLEY and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I loved this short and sweet little holiday second-chance romance about two novelists trapped at their publishers end of year event at a remote location with - you guessed it - one bed!! It was such a fun read! Falon never disappoints!
