theamyleblanc's review against another edition
There were too many issues for me to continue to invest in an almost 400-page book. The descriptions were over the top (I skimmed so much). The dialogue was clunky, awkward, and unrealistic. And I didn't understand the vibe the author was going for between the two main characters. It wasn't worth my time, unfortunately.

A solid 4.5 rating.
I really loved this little Christmas romp. I felt the relationship progressed a bit too fast in the beginning - not them getting together but just the blatant flirting felt out of nowhere. And then there were bits that dragged on a liiiitle too long. But overall another really solid read from this author.

A good sweet and spicy holiday read. Had more fillers than I expected but an enjoyable read.

Spoiler Free Portion: THIS WAS THE CUTEST GRUMPY x SUNSHINE STORY EVER. I was hooked within the first chapter of the book, and as I kept reading I just want more and more. I really enjoyed the plot between the FMC with MC, and all the involvement of side characters. It felt like you really got to know everyone within however many pages this book is. If you are looking for a holiday book with friendly competition, grumpy x sunshine, little angst with the best of all spice - this is the book for you!

Spoiler Portion: If I am remembering correctly, this author has or will have more books that feature other characters and I hope that the ones this book is mainly centered around will make an appearance. I loved Theo and Bridget so much and I would love to hear about how they are doing!

Booked for the holidays was such a treat. A single dad and a bookstore/bakery owner? Do we need to say more?
It was a little bit of a slow burn at first for me but once they started hanging out, things picked up realllll nice. It had all the cozy holiday activities and vibes. Plus Mac (MMC Daughter) was the cherry on top. I loved her trying to get them together and setting her dad straight. Overall, very happy with this pick for my last full length holiday novel!

This was good but not amazing. I enjoyed that it was basically every good aesthetic scene in Gilmore Girls but smutty, but the tension just was not there for me

I love Bridget and Theo and their story, but truthfully Mac was my favorite character hands down, which is surprising because I usually don’t enjoy romances where someone has a kid. Such a cute story to get me in the holiday feels
