An Unconventional Christmas Love Story

Series: Falling Into Happily Ever After

Author: Ellie Hall

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).

My Merry Mistake

Title: My Merry Mistake

Series: Holidays with Hart #3

Author: Courtney Walsh

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christmas, Sports Romance,

Source: Own

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.

I started listening to this book on Hoopla, but it was returned, and I couldn't check it out again. The narrators were fine. I ended up checking the book out from Kindle Unlimited to finish it.

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.

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!

Single All the Way

Title: Single All the Way

Series: Sweet as Sugar Maple 

Author: Kate Watson

Narrators: Stephanie Rose and Gregory Salinas

Publisher: Audible Audio

Genre: Christmas, Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Hoopla

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!!

Faking Christmas

Title: Faking Christmas

Series: Christmas Escape #3

Author: Cindy Steel

Narrator: Justis Bolding

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Hoopla

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.

Five Stolen Rings

Title: Five Stolen Rings

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell

Narrators: Rylee Kuberra & John Rogers

Publisher: Audible Audio

Genre: Christmas RomCom, Contemporary Romance,

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Five Stolen Rings was a lot of fun. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook, even though I really didn't like the male narrator's narration. I felt like he came across harshly all the time and he didn't do the female voices very well. The female narrator did a fantastic job.

The Wild Card

Title: The Wild Card

Series: Love Stories in Sheet Cake, Texas #3

AuthorEmma St. Clair

Publisher: Emma St. Clair

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Author Provided

My Review:

While The Wild Card could read as a standalone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading The Buy-In, The Bluff, and The Pocket Pair first. I love this series, and it is one you will want to start at the beginning. I reread the entire series before starting this one, and I am glad I did. There were things I had forgotten.
