A Holly Jilly Christmas is a delightful, quick story that was oh so adorable. With wonderful chemistry, hilarious situations and characters that were so much more then meets the eyes, I was so charmed with this novella. And I loved being back in the world of Sheet Cake again!
Whilst visiting the small town of Sheet Cake to scout a location for their movie studio, Jilly and her unrequited crush and grumpy co-worker, Case end up being stuck in the quirky small town. Sparks fly and revelations come to light between the two in this fun little tale.
I love how Emma St. Clair always weaves humour, family, and romance into a story. Even in a short story like this one, she manages to add those elements. She has undoubtedly become one of my most favorite contemporary romance authors. This really was a fun way to spend an hour out of the day, curled up on the couch with a blanket, and enjoy an adorable, funny, heartwarming short story!

I love anything Emma St. Clair writes, I just can't get enough of her books. She writes fun characters with lots of depth and development, but also writes the funniest side characters. I wish Sheet Cake, TX was a place, I would totally join Neighborly and live in a loft downtown! Jilly and Case, I love them! Jilly is so funny, I loved her personality. And Case was so swoony, sweet, and perfect! And what a first kiss! His hidden confidence was perfection! You can't visit Sheet Cake without some crazy shenanigans like rams, perms, and more! I can't wait for more Sheet Cake! And I hope we get to see Case and Jilly again!

4.5 ⭐️ Such a cute holiday novella based on a workplace romance. The FMC describes her love life using all my fave romance tropes. I really enjoyed this unique setup! Case and his run in with Fabio had me in stitches. My favorite part of the book was the epilogue. Had me smiling so big!!
