Some of the novellas were better than others. I don’t think I’m going to read anything else by Tessa Bailey.

This was a fine collection of holiday novellas. The stories are short easy reads. Full of spice in a Christmas setting. There was a lot of insta-love, which isn't my favorite, but I'm glad I read them.

Cringe. Last ones the best 

This was definitely a mixed bag of romance stories, but the top 2 kept the ratings up! 

Cruel Winter With You by Ali Hazelwood- this was my favorite of the bunch, and it's 5 star.  It's my favorite romance trope and I just really liked the characters. 

Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey- this was by far the least favorite. It's a 0 star from me, but if I had to rate it on Goodreads, it would just get 1 star. Yes, the dude is big, and yes the woman makes her own clothes. Reiterating that took up 40% of the story, and insta-lust as love took up the rest. If Hagrid type men with 100 acre farms are your type, and you're particularly thirsty and don't need a real connection between the characters. 

All By Elf by Olivia Dade- this was another 5 star read for me! I absolutely loved it, loved the relationship and the snowed in sexy times in a re-purposed Weiner-mobile. It was really cute. 

Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur- This was cute, a solid 3 star, maybe 3.5. 

Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria- same, it was cute, a solid 3 star.  



all of them were like a 4 except for Tessa Bailey’s. like what the fuck was that. one star for that shit.
