A bit cheesy.. I think the first one was much better. It was still enjoyable though and it was great to read some of the familiar characters again.

I thought this book was very cute, it was body positive, very spicy, but. But. I need to tell you that it does have an accidental pregnancy trope. I feel like that’s something I should definitely point out, but I know for a lot of readers, that is an absolute deal breaker for them. Personally, I don’t mind it at all.
That being said, the writing is very well done. If you’ve read and loved A Merry Little Meet Cute, you will probably love this too. Kallum is, obviously, very experienced with having sex while Winnie is a total novice. During the entire time she was married with her husband, she had never had an orgasm. So when she seeks out Kallums expertise for help achieving a believable O face, you can guess where the rest of the story goes.
For my ratings, I gave this book

3.5 ⭐️I really enjoyed the first half of the book. The second half felt a little different for me but I still enjoyed it overall!
The books in this series are pretty smutty, but more fun and more thoughtful than one would think. The FMC has narcolepsy and was raised in a religious and purity culture family. She’s signed up to star in a Christmas romance “after dark” movie with a number of simulated sex scenes and has never had an orgasm. The MMC sold a homemade sex tape and seemingly has no inhibitions. He does, however, harbor a huge childhood crush on the FMC. Now he gets to play naughty Santa with her.
I didn’t read A Merry Little Meet. Cute before reading A Holly Jolly Ever After and I was able to dive right into this book. It was a bit chaotic, a lot Christmasy, and pretty spicy.
Winnie is ex childhood star who ends up filming a sexy Christmas movie with Kallum, an ex boy band member. She grew up religious and is trying to cope with the messages engrained in her from growing up in purity culture. She’s a good girl gone bad and is struggling filming this sexy movie when she asks Kallum for spicy lessons. And get this- Kallum has had a crush on Winnie for years. How could he ever resist?
