Now this is a Christmas story.. perfection
This book was masterpiece of love, sweetness and heartwarming vibes.
I love that this book was very detailed, I felt like I was there in the small town. Everything was “christmassy” and I loved it!
This was an instant attraction, fast paced black holiday love story.
I love Dorian and Saira!

A writer in need of some inspiration for a holiday book: Dorian and Saira were really cute together. Loved the story’s Christmas feels.

Christmas is over 

These type of books are usually my pallet cleansers between reading high fantasy and sci-fi. Easy to read and cute, but this one…

The writing…

I cannot read the word yoni one more time. Yikes. 

A Novel Christmas is a romance with a cozy, wintery small-town setting and insta-love. Saira brings her architect's eye to life with vivid, detailed descriptions of homes and spaces—at times overly descriptive, but it goes with her character. The story shines in its emotional depth, particularly through Dorian's journey of healing from grief and opening himself to love.

Overall, the story captures the magic of Christmas and second chances through Saira and Dorian's blossoming romance. The romance and character arcs stood out as strong points despite some of the descriptive writing. It's not my favorite book from this author (this is my third read), but overall, it's not bad for a Christmas romance.
