My Review:
While not technically part of a series, this book is best read after Cotswold Holidays, as these two books follow the Winter sisters. Cotswold's Holidays is Luna's story, while Highland Holiday is Callie's.

Cotswolds Holiday is a fun, cozy romance.

My Review:
That Time We Kissed Under the Mistletoe is the fourth in the series, but can easily stand alone. I have read the first two books, but not the third.
Series: Falling Into Happily Ever After

My Review:
While An Unconventional Christmas Love Story is part of a series, it easily reads as a standalone novel (I have not read any of the others in the series).
Series: Holidays with Hart #3
Author: Courtney Walsh
Publisher: Independently Published
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christmas, Sports Romance,

My Review:
My Merry Mistake is the third book in the Holidays with Hart series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. However, I highly recommend reading them all to gain a better understanding of the Hart family dynamics.
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes. I am going to tweak it a bit, and go with Christmas wishes. You might recall that we moved this past weekend. The best way to describe it is that it has been an ordeal. We have been pulling 14-hour days with a lot of frustrations. The movers put some things in places they shouldn't be, the dishwasher is broken, there is no stopper for the sink for hand washing dishes, the floors are impossible to clean, I aggravated my carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve which led to a sleepless night and excruciating pain (Saturday night), then dropped my computer on the marble floor, breaking it, punctured my puffy coat on a box, Matt had to fix the pantry in order for it to be usable and I could go on, but you get the picture. So, I have a list of things I wish for this season. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

My Review:
Planning for Nickie is the second in the Holidays in Hadley Springs series by Tasha Hackett. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading Waiting for Gilbert first.

My Review:
I have finished this book for the second time and I loved it just as much as the first time I read it last year!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
Original review below:
Waiting for Gilbert is the first book I have read by Tasha Hackett, but it will not be the last. I was in the middle of reading this book when I knew I would want to reread it. I am not a huge re-reader, but I want a physical copy for my keeper shelf!

While this is the second book in the Just a Guy with a Goal series, it can easily be read as a standalone novel.

My Review:
I thought I had this book pegged by the little bit of the description I had read. I thought it was going to be insta-love and a bit obnoxious. I had totally missed that it was a billionaire romance, or I might have skipped it. However, I am so glad I missed that detail because I loved this story!!

My Review:
Faking Christmas is technically a part of the Christmas Escape series, but each book stands alone. Overall, I enjoyed Justis Bolding's narration. I didn't like her voice for Chloe, Olive's sister, I felt like it was too manly.

Christmas Baggage is part of the Christmas Escape series. All the books are stand-alone, but are connected by having their stories set in London, England.

My Review:
While Wishing for Mistletoe is part of a series, each novel is standalone, written by different authors, and set on the same island.
