Seeing as how this is set during the holiday season, the mystery was lighter and the stakes not so dire.

As has been the norm for at least the last 2 books in this series, the love is strong between Gabe and Josh, and though they’ve been together for a few years, have married, and now have twins, the lust and loving have not faltered one teeny tiny bit.

This was really fun and quite funny, and definitely, silly sappy over the top. If you need to get into the holiday spirit and enjoy an established couple, this made me laugh multiple times. These two are devoted only to each other while still solving crime both big and small, and I have no complaints!

That was such a fantastic holiday story. My only complain was that we didn't get to see the moment Josh and Gabe brought Dylan and Destiny home and named them. We went from waiting for the babies to celebrating their first birthday between two books and that annoyed me. Also, not getting to watch Chaz and Kyle or Jon and Emory get together kinda sucked.

But I still loved the characters and the story.

Josh and Gabe are back with another wonderful installment, just in time for the holidays and the twins' 1st birthday. There are plenty of laughs and lots of heat. Throw in a burning effigy of Santa and hot damn! What a party! I love this series and the whole Blissville crew. It is guaranteed laughs and plenty of sweetness.

I laughed so hard my eyes watered!

I love these guys, I want to kidnap the birds and I laughed so hard my husband thinks I’ve lost my mind.

I sincerely hope there is more to come in this series. Absolutely fantastic!

This was a festive sweet, fun and easy read. Yet, it has picked up Josh and Gabe's story almost a year after they say I do, and by that time a great deal has gone on, and so, I was left feeling a little disconnected from a world I genuinely loved. But it was nevertheless an absorbing and enjoyable story, and I adored catching up with these characters, especially during the festive period. Which is why I would happily recommend it to others.

Curl Up and Dye Holiday picks up where Someone to Call My Own left off. I absolutely adore Josh and Gabe.

This holiday installment was such a treat! I sorely missed these guys and Josh’s brand of crazy when this series ended.
Curl Up and Dye was a fun festive read. It was nice to learn how parenting impacted Gabe and Josh’s life. The two learned that it’s not easy juggling marriage, careers and childrearing but they wouldn’t change a thing. Raising kids is about sacrifice and occasional invasion of the entitled grandparents brigade that turn up ever so often to revel in your payback suffering.

Aside from the children, it was also nice to catch up on other long lost friends such as Meredith. This story is full of everything you would want in a Christmas family rom-com featuring our Josh and Gabe. Be prepared to gorge yourself on dirty talk, holiday handcuffs and belly loads of laughter. Aimee Nicole Walker delivered a wonderful story perfect for the holiday season. Gabe and Josh fans will not be disappointed.
Btw, there are recipes included in this book. I’ve tried 2 and they were wonderful!

The most ridiculously funny Christmas romance I have read, with Josh and Gabe celebrating the festive season with their family and a large cohort of friends. I was honestly laughing out loud in certain sections and enjoyed the Christmas themed mystery that was included.

Fabulous festive visit with Josh and Gabe and all the rest of the Blissville crew. There's a lot of humour, a little bit of mystery, some douche-baggery from Josh's ex Trent, and a whole load of cute kids and family adventures.

I thoroughly enjoyed this peek into the lives of the Roman-Wyatt's as they look forward to the twins first Thanksgiving, Christmas and their first birthday.

All the usual gang is present and there's still a few surprises on the way as Gabe has to deal with a series of acts of vandalism that threaten to take all the fun out of Christmas.

There's also time for the usual hot and sexy loving readers have e come to expect from Josh and Gabe, including a rather memorable encounter with Josh's pole in the dance studio.

I've loved the Blissville series and this festive treat just adds to the all round fun.

Dang! I discovered that I should have read [b:Unscripted Love|35596228|Unscripted Love (Road to Blissville, #1)|Aimee Nicole Walker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1499132689l/35596228._SY75_.jpg|56624674] and [b:Someone to Call My Own|36159154|Someone to Call My Own (Road to Blissville, #2)|Aimee Nicole Walker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1504212323l/36159154._SY75_.jpg|57723109] first when I began this one :( Oh, well, I still will finish this series, and only then go for the next one, but ouch! spoilers!!!!

This one is set one year after the last one, and Josh and Gabe are already comfortable in their roles as parents. They both and their families ( legal, biological and created ones) are ready to enjoy their first everything with the babies. There are really funny moments, the Christmas Bandit thing is really hilarious. But there are also a lot of sweet, happy moments. And snark. Lots and lots of snark.

A lovely story, as always, and not even Joel Leslie can ruin it for me :P
