Honestly - just so soft and sweet for most of it?! I haven't gone back and read others in the series but I love the way these two want to surprise the others. I get wicked tressed about money and presents so that was a little hard for me - but otherwise so wholesome and sweet!

An excellent, sweet and festive Christmas romance that made me smile and root for the characters.
I liked the tightly knitted plot that kept hooked, the well thought characters and the festive atmosphere.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I loved this book! Ari and Yin were completely adorable. I liked that this book started when they were already a couple. I will say that I missed some of what was going on since I didn’t realize this was a continuation of her other stories in the series. That didn’t tamper my joy in this book at all! I will be going back to read all the previous books and then doing a reread of this one.

I was unaware that this was a Novella in the Dreamers series, but it definitely makes me want to read the series! I really enjoyed Ari and Yin's relationship. This Novella is short and sweet, yet still had complexity and was overall wholesome.

It was enjoyable to read about how much these characters loved each other and how selfless they were toward each other. A couple takeaways I got from this story was that communication in a relationship is key and to not let ego or insecurity impede one's relationship. Their love felt like it was on solid ground and I enjoyed that they were able to resolve their complications together, without blame or hurt feelings. The story also had a couple steamy scenes.


If you love M/M romance, found family, immigrant MC's, and/or holiday romances then definitely read this cute and quick read!


Thank you to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ari and Yin were such a cute side couple during the rest of the Dreamers series, it’s wonderful to see them get their own book. This is a ‘they’re fully in love, this is just a tiny hiccup in the HEA’ book, which is fine. We probably don’t get enough of these. And it’s one of those books that brings everyone back, but it feels like such a heartwarming reunion, not even a reunion, because these people have created this sprawling found family and are always there for each other.

Ahh this was the perfect read to get me in an early Christmas mood. I might actually reread it closer to Christmas, that's how much I enjoyed it.

It was such a fluffy, heartwarming read, and I loved seeing so many recurring characters from one of my favourite romance series.

This was the cutest! By far the best Christmas story I've read this month.

I was just a little bit detached because I didn't know it was from a book series... so I did miss character development and more of their journey, what makes me really excited to pick up the Dreamer series, which is the one this book is from!

The representation was amazingly done, I don't think I've read such diverse characters in just one book - which is extremely sad - but I completely loved the celebrations and all the new culture I got to learn about.

I will warn you, this is a steamy novella. But I totally recommend it!
