Merriment and Mayhem was FUN!
This is exactly what I hoped for in this holiday novellas collection: heartfelt, warm and fuzzy, home-for-the-holidays comfort vibes with ridiculous situations and endearing characters.
Alexandria Bellefleur did a great job of giving us a WHOLE LOT in very few pages (seriously, there are only four chapters, y'all). I absolutely loved Everleigh and Griffin -- the sarcastic banter, the nicknames, her chaotic streak and his sweet acts of service...seriously, so precious and I wish this book was like 300 pages longer than it is.
Thank you, Alexandria, for hitting the nail on the head as far as Christmas rom-com feels go!
