bookish_kirst 's review for:

Holiday Star - Spicy by Melissa Dymond
3.75
emotional lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A cute, fluffy, holiday themed romance. Filled with tonnes of chemistry, a forced proximity plot, celeb-non celeb relationship and a HEA.

I loved how Caleb and Gwen's relationship developed, it didn't feel forced and their chemistry was undeniable.

I also LOVE the fact the author released 2 different versions of this book (one spicy, one clean) so that all readers feel comfortable with what they're reading. It's such a thoughtful gesture.

TW: grief, death of a parent, alcoholism, addiction

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!🫶🏻
