Overall very cute, not too Christmasy but each story is about 1.5 hours

3.5 stars.

1. All by my Elf by Olivia Dade. Riding in the Christmas equivalent of the weinermobile was a little silly, but I liked the romance between the main couple.
2. Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey. After reading [b:Wreck the Halls|75663742|Wreck the Halls|Tessa Bailey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1679456314l/75663742._SX50_.jpg|101028874], it's nice to know that Tessa Bailey can write a holiday romance. Cute story, low stakes fun. We get it, Luke is HUGE!
3. Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur. Girl, getting the fire department called on you twice in one week?? Get a grip! The dynamic between the firefighters was one of the best parts.
4. Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood. It's a little crazy that the conflict of this story hinges on
Spoilerthe fact that Marc never checks his voicemail box. Seems like an easy fix...
.
5. Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria. The "big reveal" that he was making the ornaments was predictable, but it was very sweet how he had a straight up crafting corner to make her those little gifts.

Perfect romance shorts for the holiday. So many great authors and stories.

A fun quick pallet cleanser. Each book is only 1-1.5 hours long. I enjoyed the Christmas settings but they weren’t overbearing. Lots of spice

Noen 1-stjerners og noen 4-stjerners, så setter den totale scoren på midten.

Cruel Winter with you - this was my fave - a five star... i loved the tension and unspoke want between the two and a strong love since childhood......

Merry ever After - 3.5- stars a sweet read with a gentle giant, was really cute

All by My Elf - 3.5- colleagues who have been in lust with each other for so long, get stuck in a traffic Jam and end up playing a game of have you ever with some huge revelations.

Merriment and Mayhem - 2.5 - this one i found myself zoning out alot..... something about fireman and a girl using a ladder wrong....

Only Santa's in the building - 3.5 - this was so cute neighbours, Oragami (i think) and Dressing up as Mariah.....

Alot of the Stories felt very instalovish - but i could envision this totally as a love actually scenario if they all intertwined as its the everyday Joe falling in love - Great holiday reads

Individual ratings:
Ali Hazelwood: 5/5 stars, very on-brand
Tessa Bailey: 1/5 stars, couldn’t finish. So this man can’t find any jeans big enough for him, nor any woman?? (Cackling but no)
Olivia dade: 5/5 stars, love the weenie-mobile
Alexandria bellefleur: 3/5 stars, fireman/rescue is overdone
Alexis Daria: 4/5, great story with heart

Lost some stars for the cringey farmer
funny lighthearted fast-paced
