Of Tangles and Tinsel is a cozy, winter romance that had me giggling and kicking my feet.
Now, I must offer a disclaimer that I am not the target audience for rom-coms; the only reason I read this one was because of the tiny Christmas dragon and the fact that the characters are fae. So, it's a fantasy Christmas rom-com, and now that I know this genre exists, I'm going to be hunting for it next Christmas!
Olwen and Quill are entertaining with their banter, the setting is beautiful, and the story is easy to binge. The Repunzel aspects of the story had me laughing, and Olwen is a hysterical representative of Repunzel, and I loved her every second of this book. And Quill...well, let's just say I liked him, too.
Overall, I recommend Of Tangles & Tinsel to readers of holiday rom-coms, but especially to those like me who need an element of fantasy to enjoy the rom-com properly!
Content disclaimers {possible spoilers here}: Romance is "closed door", though there are plenty of descriptions of thinking about kissing and dreaming of each other. Some mentions of a creepy and sleazy dude who makes advances, but he's stopped. There's no cursing. Very mild action mentioned.
