A review by werepinapple
Jingle Wars by Veronica Eden, R. Holmes

Did not finish book.

Nope, sorry, I can't finish this one. I have low expectations for romance novels and actually love when they're unrealistic - but I draw the line at issues with health and safety. Freya is so obsessed with looking cute that she refuses to wear a coat and proper footwear for snow. There are multiple mentions of her not wearing cold weather appropriate clothing because fashion is much more important to her. One of the early chapters also tells us that the characters would be going camping and I didn't read far enough to learn what happened on their camping trip. But I'm imagining frostbite. I just ... ugh. I can't deal with that type of woman. I've come across a few other books with overly social media- and designer clothing-obsessed heroines and I always give up quickly.

I did skip ahead to the candy cane scene everyone was talking about. I was curious, OK? All I could think about was how she's going to get a yeast infection. And he asks if she wants to fe f***ed by the candy cane...that was supposed to be sexy? There is literally nothing sexy about that. No. For so many reasons. Please, for the love of God, do NOT put food (especially candy!) on, in, or around your lady bits.

Maybe it was good otherwise, I just couldn't get past the heroine.
