Overall this was such a cute read. I loved both the characters and found the Christmas angle of it all really sweet. I think the thing that I didn't love as much was that it felt like a lot of internal dialogue and not a lot of dialogue between the characters. But with that said, I will definitely be adding this author to my list of must reads.

I will share a review of this book on my instagram @brittany.reads.books on October 8th.

Christmas spicy vibes? Yes please - This book hits all the tropes I love and of course set in the most delightful of Christmas settings. There are so many layers besides a HEA with humour, happiness and heartache. It's the perfect intro into the holiday season.

Christmas Sweater Weather is a fast-paced, cute read filled with the fun and quirky banter you’ve come to love from rom-com’s and some of my absolute favorite tropes.

♥️brother’s best friend
♥️ sports romance
♥️ friends to lovers
♥️ single dad
♥️ forbidden love

Charlotte and Hayden both what they think they can’t have… each other! This forbidden romance is about to be put to the ultimate test when the two are forced to coexist at Charlotte's brother’s (Hayden’s best friend) pre-wedding celebrations.

Although Hayden felt like he didn’t deserve Charlotte, this single dad had me swooning from the very beginning. Just something about him made you want to root for the guy. I didn’t always love Charlotte though. Her inner monologues came off more immature than funny IMO. They did have an undeniable chemistry though, which helped me get over my ick for the FMC and overall root for this unlikely couple.

This is the perfect book if you’re looking to get in the holiday spirit and love spicy sports romances!

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the opportunity to read this digital ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

This one was fun. It will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit! I loved the side characters and Gwen was just so much fun! The Christmas competitions were fabulous, and it made want to start hanging my decorations! The reason it dropped a star for me is because the timeline just didn’t make sense in my brain, even though they knew each other for forever. And that by no means made it a bad story, and I absolutely recommend picking this up and reading Char and Hayden’s story for the holiday season!

3.75⭐️ rounded up

🎄Christmas Romance

🥎Single Dad
🎄Childhood Friends to Lovers
⚾️ Unrequited Love
🥎Baseball/Softball Sportsmance Adjacent (Coaching)

This was a cute book. ☺️ It was a great mix of holiday fun and longing. There was also sports adjacent content for sportsmance heart. Hayden is Charlotte’s brother’s best friend but also one of her childhood friends, and she’s always crushed on him. But everything between them changed when she confessed her feelings three years ago. now they coexist and revolve on the fingers of each others’ lives. Now during a holiday themed pre-wedding weekend, Charlotte and Hayden have to more than coexist.

Charlotte is a riot! Her inner monologue made me giggle constantly. I enjoyed the hidden mutual longing and tension between the two. Brother’s best friend and unrequited love has been a long time weakness of mine! And Hayden was wringing the frustration out of me. It’s a weird feeling to want to hurt and be brought to tears so I can enjoy the HEA even more, and this book gave me that. So overall, a winner!

Thank you NetGalley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), and Jaqueline Snowe for the early access copy of Christmas Sweater Weather.

Christmas Sweater Weather Is a dual point-of-view holiday romance that follows Hayden and Charlotte. Hayden is a single father and best friends with Charlotte’s older brother Christian. When Charlotte finds herself in a bad situation on her way to her brother’s joint bachelor/bachelorette party, she is left with no choice but to accept Hayden’s help. What it also means is they are going to be alone for the first time since he shot her down and broke her heart three years before.

Christmas Sweater Weather is a great read to get into the holiday spirit, with both sugar and spice.

Was this review helpful?

I really enjoyed this heartwarming yet steamy Christmas romance! Hayden and Charlotte are an endearing couple, and it gave me all the feels as I followed their journey to HEA. There was humor and warmth, heat and even heartache along the way, but in the end it was all worth it. Thank you to the publisher for providing an advance reader copy..

I absolutely love this book and if I could give it more stars, I would. From the location to the shared past, these characters were easy to fall in love with and Jaqueline Snowe had me on the edge of my seat for the whole Christmas season. I loved the side characters so much that I almost wish they had their own stories that I could read and discover even more of this world. Thank you for the ARC!

Love, Love, Loved this book! This book will keep you hooked until the last page! Jaqueline Snowe has done a wonderful job with her characters and attention to detail. Not only is this a festive story, but a hot one as well! The relationship between Charlotte and Hayden will pull on your heart strings and have you routing for true love to win.

Charlotte has been secretly in love with Hayden, her older brother's best friend for what feels like forever. After an embarrassing moment a few years ago, she has avoided him as much as possible, until her brother's bachelor party weekend. Will they finally address what happen and give in to their ever building romantic tension?

This is definitely a must read for the coming Holiday Season!

This was such a cute, fun, and quick read by Jaqueline Snowe! The holiday vibes were immaculate and I loved the single dad/brother's best friend tropes. I highly recommend reading this one during the Christmas season!!

Charlotte is in love with her brother’s best friend, Hayden. The premise is fine. There were a few sweet moments, so I’ll give it 2.5 stars for that. Overall, the book was not great. The characters felt very two dimensional and all over the place, emotionally. I understand angst and conflicting feelings, but this was just plain messy. The plot was so thin. 60% of the book takes place over one very slow, drawn out weekend and the rest of the book is almost rushed. Conversations were so falsely sweet, I almost got a cavity reading this book. I’ve never met siblings who speak this way to each other.
Anyway, happily ever afters for the win, but this one won’t go on my ‘recommended’ list.

Meet Charlotte and Hayden. Hayden is Charlotte’s brother’s best friend and she has always been in love with him. When Charlotte’s brother plans a romantic pre-wedding party, the two are forced to spend the weekend together. Follow their journey if you enjoy:

🎄 Brother’s Best Friend
🎄 Single Dad
🎄 Sports Romance
🎄 Holiday Romance
🎄 Second Chances

While this was a super quick, fast-paced holiday read, it was missing something for me. I did not love the main characters, but found the overall story cute.

*Thank you NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love a great holiday read. It was just what I needed to get in the spirit! I truly loved how she not only has the banter between the two main characters but also added it in with every other person in the book. Not only did I feel you got to know Charlotte and Hayden’s story you also learned a lot about the other characters and I really enjoyed that.
