This was the last book in this series and finishes pairing off the last member of Ivey family from the Christmas tree farm. I enjoyed getting to know Max & Shelby in this story and was glad with how things turned out with Max and his siblings. The epilogue at the end was a really nice way of wrapping up this series.

Frostbitten Sparks by Alina Riley  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an interesting Christmas novella about a human woman named Zoe with a bakery and the alien named Stodax she ends up with. Stodax had a lot of issues understanding the holidays and life in his new home but Zoe helped him to begin learning how to navigate things in his new life. The epilogue at the end was a nice way to show how they were doing a year later.

Enticed by the Alien Chef by Robin O'Connor  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I loved getting to read Kara & Rex's story and thought they made a really nice couple. I also enjoyed the epilogue and plan to look into reading Jenny & Akri's story in Logic Broken in the future.

This is the fourth book in the Horned Holidays series and I am glad to say it lived up to my expectations after the first three. I loved getting to know Yede and Gemma as well as Gemma's son Liam in this story and thought they made a cute family. I was happy with how everything worked out for all the characters in this story and thought the epilogue was really nice, including the drop in from Krampusarian from Krampus and the Crone. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future and maybe even another in this series.

This was my first book by Lauren Esker and I thought it was a fun and lighthearted holiday romance. I enjoyed getting to know Joy and Bar in this story and seeing how they overcome the problems they encounter. I also liked Joy's sister Leah and am looking forward to seeing her story in The Claiming of the Shrew.

I enjoyed the return to the Christmas Tree Farm in this book and while it does bring up characters from previous books it works as a standalone and the references just add a little extra for those who have read previous books. It was fun getting to see how things worked out for Jayden & Marley in this story. I am looking forward to reading about the last brother from the Ivey family in the next book.

This was another fun and quick paced standalone Christmas romance set in the small town of Rosewood Ridge, Tennessee. I enjoyed getting to know Gabe & Eva in this story and thought the epilogue at the end was cute. I look forward to reading the next book being at the Christmas tree lot again and reading about Ariella’s brother Jayden.

This was a nice, quick alien holiday book that I enjoyed reading. I haven't read the Zyanthan Warriors series yet and was still able to enjoy the story as a standalone but think it would be enjoyed more if you are already familiar with the characters in this story. Reading about the Zyanthan Warriors thoughts about Christmas traditions like mistletoe and Christmas tree's was amusing. I look forward to reading more books set within this world in the future.

I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a really fun addition to this series of standalone books in the multi author series set in Winter Bliss. Birdie & Rex were both really fun characters to get to know and I loved all of Birdie’s animals that were mentioned throughout the book. I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed as well as how they both grew as characters on their own. I look forward to reading more books set in the small town of Winter Bliss in the future.
