Book 896: A Christmas Miracle (Winsford Green #4) – Ruby Moone

As I said in my response to Dances Long Forgotten, the first book of Moone’s Winsford Green series, I sought it out because I received this review request from Gay Romance Reviews and it intrigued me enough to want to give the series a go.*

I liked the series enough to request this book halfway through the first. And while I don’t regret it, I think the first book was the strongest (I LOVED the flashback and hoped for it again), this and People Like Us were a distant second, and The Schoolmaster’s Spy further behind them.

Book 891: Christmas Wish List (Hartbridge Christmas #2) – N.R. Walker

This is the follow-up I didn’t know I wanted. We once again find ourselves in Hartbridge, Montana, last visited when Hamish from Tic-Tac-Mistletoe crashed his car in front of Ren the big burly hardware store owner’s house and a whirlwind romance commenced.

We see them again almost immediately when Jayden, another Australian ex-pat and chef extraordinary, comes into the hardware store to ask for directions to the chateau where his next job is. And in walks owner of said chateau and newly single and somewhat-out Cass.

Book 889: Dances Long Forgotten (Winsford Green #1) – Ruby Moone

What a delightful read! I grabbed this from Kindle Unlimited when an ARC request came in for book four of the series (A Christmas Miracle) landed in my inbox.

Having never read Moone before, even though I was intrigued by the blurb of the ARC, I wanted to see what how her writing was so I went and grabbed this one and it was the perfect quick read. I hope the quality stays throughout the series and that they are connected, even if they’re just standalones.

Book 884: The Holiday Hoax – Skylar M. Cates

This was a perfectly lovely, low-angst Chrismukkah fake boyfriend MM Holiday Romance.

I grabbed this because of the above. Who doesn’t love a fake boyfriend story or a holiday romance? I mean come on, it’s the perfect time of the year and weather to snuggle up by a fire and read a one-sitting romance with minimal angst and an adorable happy for now ending.

Book 882: Snowbody Like You – Ariella Zoelle

Oof—I was not a fan of this one. It had so much potential but just fell flat for me. I’m glad I passed on the review request when I first got it, but somehow forgot about it and grabbed it from Kindle Unlimited when I needed a book to fill a gap between review copies.

Snowbody Like You has a great premise, aka all the Hallmark movies ever, the two protagonists, Rigby and Jude meet at the airport, get snowed in and have to share a room, true love (or humping like rabbits) happens and they live happily ever after.
