I enjoyed read this holiday read. Jasper and Tessa are a cute couple who by accident have been forced to marry. The writer wanted the readers to get familiar with the couple. She shared the couples background story that had led them to the alter. Both souls had heartfelt secrets that they needed to dare with one another. They struggled with, if they were to share these secrets, could they really be loved. This is a clean sweet read. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.

Quick Thoughts: This was a super quick read but Tessa and Jasper were such a good match that it didn't feel rushed. The only thing I wanted more was a little more depth to the resolution. However for a Christmas Novella it really it hit the spot.

Short, sweet Christmas romance.
This was a cute story. Very short with not too much development, but a satisfying story. Good for a cozy evening in front of the fire or Christmas tree. Or both!
This is a little racy, but nothing is described in too much detail.

The story had potential but there wasn't enough room to let the story/characters breathe. I was expecting a light, cute Christmas read to help me round out my reading count, instead I was frustrated for most of the time I spent reading, which was way too long for under 100 pages. Also the miscommunication trope was employed in the most frustrating way possible. The entire climax of the book could have been solved with one conversation.

A cute Christmas romance about 2 people being more perfect for each other than they expected.

Cute and quick
I wish I could give it more stars, but we go from stumbling into a room, to nuptials, to bliss to a misunderstanding in rapid succession and suddenly they love one another. It just didn't work for me. It was a fast, cutesie read though.

I didn't really intend to start off 2019 with reading a romance novella in line for It's A Small World at Disneyland, but it happened and I'm not mad about it.
Because it was still close to after Christmas, and Disneyland was still decorated for the holidays, it only felt right to read a romance novella I got for free from Amazon. I don't really discriminate against free books from Amazon. I have plenty of those on my Kindle app because I have no self-control. However, I've never really been able to get into romance books, especially not ones with sex scenes in them.
For someone very new to the romance genre, I feel like All She Wants For Christmas is a good place to start. It really eases the reader into the genre and spoonfeeds you the basics. I really appreciated this, and I was glad that I had chosen this one, because I feel like I might have been turned away from the genre if I went and took a deep dive into the really sexual ones.
I also really loved the main couple in this. I love the trope of the bookish, serious girl and the sexy rogueish man getting together. Opposites attract is a pretty big thing for me.
What I wasn't expecting, though, was that there is disability rep here. I can't attest to how good or bad it was, but it was interesting nonetheless.
Overall, I really enjoyed this novella and I would like to read some more from this author, even if it's not really close to Christmas anymore.

The storyline isn't very original, but I like how unique the main characters are.
