Brother's beat friend AND single dad at Christmas???? It's like the author wrote this just for me. It's adorable and the characters are great. Would recommend.

Christmas Sweater Weather was such a sweet and easy romcom to bundle up with!!

I always really enjoy cozy holiday books and the added brothers best friend trope was perfect and makes it a fun holiday read! I predicted most of the story but had so much fun anyways and have no complaints. That ending even made me tear up!

Is it a second chance romance if they never really dated before… not sure about that!? Also not sure about the book title haha but I guess it’s fitting!
Super cute book. Thanks so much to Forever Pub and NetGalley for the arc!

Charlotte has known Hayden as her brother's best friend for years. She's also has been crushing on him for years, but after an incident a few years ago, she dreads being around him.

Hayden is a single dad who refuses to let anyone or anything get in the way of being the best dad, including his feelings for Charlotte.

I, for one, love a single dad romance, and Jaqueline gives us one of the best single dads out there. I really enjoyed witnessing the growth of these two along with their families. As frustrating as it was to see Hayden get in his own way time and time again, the way Charlotte stood by him and supported him, whether they were together or not, had me cheering them on until the very end!

This was a quick read with great holiday vibes. Loved the Christmas themed plot, but other than that it felt like it was lacking something.

Today in my city we hit 100 days in a row of temperature being over 100 degrees. There is no better way to escape the heat than with a Christmas themed book. This one is SPICEY. If that is not your preference I would recommend skipping this. I generally don't go for that and so there were many scenes I had to skip through. However, I did enjoy the overall story and romance. The characters were lovable and the main trope is romance with brother's best friend. I also adored the relationship between Hayden and his daughter and Charlotte's family's relationship with them as well.

Thanks to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) | Forever for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this story. I wouldn’t say it’s too much of a Christmas book, just a love story set in December with Christmas fanatics as one of the families.

Charlottle and Hayden’s love story was a sweet one! The chapters were short and easy to read and the book flew by.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC. I thoroughly enjoyed this title. It was filled with Christmas shenanigans, competitiveness, and love through the generations. You expect a happily ever after and you know it's coming, but the third act break up will make you worry for a few minutes. Thankfully there are plenty of strong female characters to tell our MMC to get it together and make everything right, and he does! Grab a blanket and snuggle up with your favorite Christmas playlist while you devour this book in one sitting!

I love reading books by different authors. I never know what to expect. I especially love reading Christmas books all year long. I plan on reading more books by Jaqueline Snow. This one was steamy, romantic, and heartfelt. I really loved the ending. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

Two immature main characters with zero communication skills and a reminder several times per chapter that they kissed once years ago and she never got over the heartbreak of him rejecting her. Combine that with cringe worthy dialogue and this was DNF'd at 40%.

4 1/2 stars.

This book was adorable. It was a holiday romance with a single dad and best friend’s sister tropes in the best possible way. Shenanigans and banter made for a wonderful first act. The book did lag a little bit in the middle, mostly from lack of communication frustrations between the main characters. But it finished strong and will make a great addition to any holiday book stack.

* I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback.

Absolutely fell in love with the main characters Charlotte and Hayden!!
Jaqueline Snow sure does know how to put a romantic Christmas storyline together that engrosses you and not only makes you fall in love with the main characters but also all the side characters!
I could totally see this adorable read becoming a Hallmark movie!

Christmas Sweater Weather was a cute and surprisingly deep read. Yes while it is fun and light at times some of the deeper issues that Snowe includes in the book really gets the reader to think. I loved seeing Hayden and Char grow even if their initially rush to romance felt a little insta-lovey. Most of all I love the supportive relationships depicted through out the book not only between the two leads but the whole cast of characters. The book's setting was cute and made me want to dive into their world and take part in the contest. Overall, it was a fun read that leaves the reader not only feeling the warm fuzzies but also thinking about some bigger issues in the world.

This was a cute fast paced holiday read. Charlotte and Hayden were childhood friends to strangers, who are forced to spend time together for Charlotte’s brothers ski trip before his wedding. This novel had all the nice tropes from forced proximity, single dad, dual pov, and childhood crush. Thank you for allowing me to review

This was such a cute holiday read - like a hallmark movie in a book. With a little more spice! I don’t tend to read books with too much spice but this one was okay for me. Loved the setting and the characters felt well developed. I liked this one!

I have yet to read a book by Jaqueline Snow that I didn’t become obsessed with and make my entire personality. I won’t be starting now. She’s an auto-read/auto-buy author for me.

Hayden and Charlotte used to be great friends but now, he’s just her brother’s best friend and the dad of the little girl she dotes on to her hearts content. Hayden is a single dad to Gwen, the cutest and sassiest three-year-old. Hayden and Charlotte used to be close for years until she kissed him while drunk, he panicked and broke her heart, and then avoided her for 3 years. Now, they’re at a ski resort to prepare for her brother’s wedding and they’re forced together to talk and hash out their feelings.

What could possibly go wrong?

I loved Hayden and Charlotte so much but what I loved more was their journey back to each other. As with most second-chance and brother’s best friend romances, there are some hiccups to be met with and dealt with. There were spots I definitely wanted to smack Hayden upside his head. But they figured it out in the end.

Honestly, the coolest part of this book was showcasing the extensive amounts of love and support that everyone had for each other - not just Hayden and Charlotte (though, him helping her prep for an interview?! ) but their entire group of friends. This was truly a found family dynamic and their love for each other was so evident.

This was the perfect holiday romance/feel good read. Of course there was some angst but overall, this book was super cute and well done.
