Love Me For Christmas by B. Love
5.0
OMFG this one has all the feels!!!! But no sex lmao
What happens when you are a matchmaker but can't find love for yourself??
Our girl Giselle was so incredibly, adorably, nerdy, sassy, sexy, and relatable. This story follows her on a series of bad dates before fate steps in. The dates were hilarious. And honestly our girl was trying. Determined to break the bougie stuck up persona she was often told she carried; Giselle tried to keep an open mind. But these men were not it.
Thankfully she meets Chaquille, and that man blew every 90's Black Romance male lead out the water I want to have this man's babies. If he needed a kidney I'd volunteer as tribute. He was so incredibly sincere and effortlessly romantic.
What I loved the most is that he's not a secret billionaire, yet he still went big when it came to her, and I was here for it.
If that man can afford a PS5 he can afford to fly, you out for a weekend getaway just sayin.
I adored this story and honestly didn't even realize the spice was missing until the end. These two had chemistry and talked a good talk. There was some amazing kisses and intimate touches that left me giddy. Fantastic read!

Slay Ride: An award-nominated Christmas survival horror with a sense of humour by L.A. Birchon, L.A. Birchon
4.0
Nish a British Indian twenty something is traveling home for his first Christmas since covid. Sadly, the weather isn't cooperating and after all trains have been cancelled, he finds himself on a bus out of London.
After a tire blows Nish and the other occupants end up in Little Slaughter. A countryside town that just happens to host a Clue themed survival game against Santa's monstrous reindeer.
This would be a great read for fans of Shaun of the Dead or dark horror comedy in general.
The author does a great job describing everything from the scenery to the dead bodies.

Gideon & Rhian: A One Eighty Christmas by Charity Shane'
4.0
Fans of Gideon & Rhian met this couple in their book One Eighty.
It was an absolutely, unexpected, emotional, beautiful love story. A bitch cried real tears out my own eyes.
We got a lil couple update in spin off books One Eighty Too (same author) featuring Rhian's best friend and Blueprint of Love by T'Lyn featuring Gideon's cousin.
Oh, and if you are interested Kaleb is mentioned in this book and his book (LOVED IT) is My Heart's Reflection of You by T'Lyn.
All of them are fantastic reads and I highly recommend them. I adore this couple and the rest of the Crescent Falls crew.
So... Don't come for me BUT Rhian annoyed me a lil bit. Just a tiny, teeny, little bit. In the end I feel like her feelings were valid and I felt empathy for her emotional and physical struggle. BUT in the moment as I read the words in a whiny voice I wanted to scream "Don't put this on Gideon!!".
Anyways other than that teeny tiny little bitty annoyance, I loved everything about this book.
I enjoyed seeing the updates of the Power's family and the inner workings of the Crescent Falls elite. If this town existed in real life, I'd drop everything and move there in a heartbeat.
It was fun to see the family and friends celebrate the Christmas season in their own unique ways. I took notes and plan on stealing some of these ideas.
I wanna dress up and have a naughty toy exchange with my girls, also I LOVE matching pajamas.
This was just a feel-good read and a great gift for fans of this couple and the Crescent Falls Shared World.
