This was truly the perfect holiday read! I am a huge Hallmark movie lover, and this had all the same feel good scenes I love when watching those movies!

The spice was HOT, and I am such a huge fan of second chance romance that I truly enjoyed this from start to finish.

A short and sweet read that is perfect for the upcoming holiday season, can’t wait to read more by this author!

This was my first Falon Ballard book and I loved it! The storyline was great! I felt like I was reading a Hallmark movie with a lot more spice. There are a couple of spicy scenes but I did skip over those as spice is not my favorite. The book is about Nick Matthews and Jessica Covington as they were in a relationship a couple of years prior in the book. Nick and Jessica are both romance authors. One author writes happily ever afters and the other writes sad endings, but I promise there is not a sad ending with this book. The storyline is beautiful and is told very well! I enjoyed this book as I read it in two days. I could not put the book down as I wanted to know what would happen next with Nick and Jessica. This is such a quick and sweet Christmas read. I definitely recommend this book!

3.75/5 - A short and fun holiday read! This takes place over a long weekend and has all the good tropes - I love books about writers and how PERFECT to have the MCs be romance writers (and former lovers) writing about second chances that have their own second chance romance! Cozy, a bit spicy and totally feel good.

Thank you to @netgalley and GP Putnam for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

A romance that hits all of the right marks! Second chance at love with a dash of holiday cheer. A perfect romcom for the holiday season.

Nope!!! This was just pure smut and lacked any serious emotional depth. I crave a good slow burn romance with deep themes… and this was not it

Loved! My first holiday book of the season was an absolute joy! It's a slow burn second chance romance between romance authors. It has all of the feels I seek out in a holiday rom-com--cozy, swoony, festive, and fun.

Thank you Edelweiss and Penguin Random House for the ARC.

4⭐, 2.25🌶️

This was such a stinking cute Christmas romance! It was a tad tooo tropey, but overall I really enjoyed reading it while putting up all my Christmas decorations. I loved the second chance romance also playing out in their joint book they were writing. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed this if I wasn't ready for a Hallmark-y (but has open door romance) Christmas romance, but yay for me cause I did want it!

Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This book is a super sweet second chance holiday romantic comedy that is beyond meta! This is a quick read that I never wanted to end!

I really loved the relationship between Nick and Jessica! They had great banter and the spice was great!

While I enjoyed the book overall I really was hoping the reason for the first break up would have been more nefarious than it turned out to be.

If you are a fan of the Hallmark Christmas Movie "Mistletoe Inn" then this book is for you!

Falon Ballard writes short and sweet love stories so well. I loved the setting of the snowed-in country inn and the professional world of publishing romance novels. I loved the grand romantic gesture at the end--absolutely perfect for romance lovers.

This cozy, Christmas-themed second-chance romance is a perfect read for this holiday season. We have flannels, peppermint mochas, Christmas trees, grilled cheese, and tomato soups!
The vibes were excellent while reading this book. I was so cozy while I got to know these characters and wished I was stuck at an inn with a hunky guy (prob not my ex but love it for Jess).
I thought the pace of this book was right on par with a Christmas romance and was very character-driven, which I appreciated. It makes for a really good pallet cleanser during the colder months. It felt like we were getting closer to some answers but them took two steps back. I really liked how there were still complex feelings involved and not black and white. It felt more realistic of a second chance romance.
I did notice there was a lot of showering going on for both of our main characters. I am glad that basic hygiene is included in this but I was picturing them with very dry skin.
Overall, I had a great time reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a cozy, winter romance with Christmas time vibes!

Falon Ballard’s new Christmas release, All I Want Is You, is an elevated Hallmark movie, in all the absolute best ways. This is a Hallmark movie where the main characters are actual three-dimensional adults. And in this story, our female main character doesn’t even have to move to a tiny town with zero job prospects to stay with the love of her life! If that doesn’t convince you to pick this up, I don’t know what will.

Actually, I do. It will be the celebration of all our favorite romance tropes: enemies to lovers, second chance romance, dual POV, forced proximity, only one bed! All I Want Is You feels like Falon Ballard’s victory lap. This book is a pure celebration of the romance genre and you can tell Ballard enjoyed writing it.

Jess and Nick are rival romance authors under the same publisher. Jess maintains Nick isn’t a true romance author since he breaks the golden rule of the genre: his books don’t ever end with a happily ever after. When Jess is asked to introduce him at an awards ceremony where Nick will receive the award for Romance of the Year, Jess agrees for the sake of her own career, but she won’t be happy about it. Things get worse when she finds out the hotel hosting the ceremony messed up her reservation and she’s forced to share a room with none other than Nick. Worse yet, a storm rolls in and her one night stay gets extended into multiple days leading right up to Christmas.

As has become Ballard’s signature, Jess is witty and driven and smart. The banter and chemistry are on point. Plus there’s an emotional edge to Jess and Nick’s story that kept me rooting for their growth.

All I Want Is You is a solid Christmas read from an author that clearly loves what she does!

This is an auto read author for me. I really enjoyed the setting and characters. The only thing that annoyed me was the reason for the break up.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!! I loved this book so much. It was a really cute second chance Christmas romance and definitely recommend it if you want something to start getting into the Christmas spirit!

All I Want Is You is a super sweet slow burn second chance romance with a typical miscommunication that could have easily been rectified by a simple conversation. All in all this was cute, cozy, and filled with holiday vibes.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

All Want Is You by Falon Ballard was a very cute, quick holiday read about two romance authors who had an ugly break up 5 years ago; now, they are stuck at the same inn sharing a room.

Read if you like:
- Second chance romances

- One bed trope
- Books about books/authors

This is definitely my favorite Falon Ballard book!


Two exes, one bed. What could go wrong?

Jessica once thought she had her happily ever after with Nick, that is, until he broke her heart just days after Christmas. Jessica and Nick are both romance authors for the same publication, if you can call Nick’s sad endings romance… When Jess gets asked to present an award to Nick for romance author of the year she begrudgingly accepts for the sake of her career.

After a few mix ups and a snow storm, Jess gets stuck sharing a room with her ex. Over the course of a few days, the two begin to pen a romance novel… TOGETHER.

I enjoyed this. It's the perfect Holiday feel good romance. The characters in it were hilarious, well developed and perfection for each other. Each character had their shining moment, but I felt like the two main characters were where the book really took off in the sense that both of them just fit each other in ways that was really well done for this style of romanc I enjoyed the character development, and the way the author created the plot lines, and found that the resolution in the happily ever after we're well-deserved.

One word: CUTE!! Second chance romance. One bed. Tension. Great banter.

Writers and ex-lovers get snowed in near Christmas. Can they work through their communication issues and have a second chance at love? Will writing a book together, when one hates happily ever afters and one adores them, help them decide their fate? Quick read and everything I would want in a holiday romance!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

This was my first Falon Ballard novel and I loved it! Exes (who also happen to be romance authors) are snowed in after an awards ceremony at a charming inn. And - guess what? There's only one bed! This was short and spicy and delicious! Very highly recommended!

Ahh I loved this. Falon writes the BEST s3xual chemistry, it's like almost tangible but has so much depth and ends up speaking to the character's relationship either past or present. I just loved that these two were snowed in forced together to speak and when they started writing a book together and insinuating call backs to their real lives via Google doc sometimes even watching each other type live just felt so real. They felt like real authors and not a quirky job of a romance main character, it even included the ups and downs of traditional publishing.

Falon is an auto-read author for me and that continues. Her books always have the right amount of angst to take you on an emotional journey but come back to the HEA super smoothly. Thank you so much to GP Putnam for the eARC!
