Did it matter that Off market is a Christmas novel and we are in the beginning of November? No.
Did it matter that it was a novella and not a full length novel? No.
I loved it and everything that I wanted to read in the book were in it. The story was super sweet and romantic. Etta and Andrew got their second chance at love and spend their Christmas together.
The Christmas spirit was in the air It was like they were never separated and they went straight to the chase. I will definitely read it again ...more

If you're looking for a quick read to help yourself get in the Christmas spirit, you have to check out the 12 NA's of Christmas. Off the Market is the first of these novellas I picked up. It won't be the last. While I'm a fan of NA lit, I've never read anything by Magan Vernon before. This novella gave me a good taste of her writing style.

I absolutely loved this cute novella about past love and Christmas. Etta and Andrew grew up together and were high school sweethearts. But when it was time for Etta to go off to school she didn't think she could handle the long distance relationship with Andrew staying in St. Louis and her heading off to California. Now 2 years later, she is back in St. Louis and hating that she let the love of her life go. So when a Christmas Eve call reunites her with Andrew, she is ready for the sparks to fly

This was a really cute second chance love story. I loved that it was centered around Christmas. If you're looking for a sweet and steamy quick read this novella is it.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
Off the Market by Magan Vernon is a Christmas themed novella. This one was short and sweet and definitely puts you in the mood for the holidays. I haven't ever read anything by Magan Vernon before so I wasn't sure exactly what her writing style was like, but I ended up liking it and thought that the characters were likable. This novella is a cute read if you are looking for some Christmas spirit and a little bit of second chance romance.

Sometimes writing a review for a novella can be hard because they are so short and they can’t always develop a full plot or character connection. While I really enjoyed Off the Market and found it to be cute and charming, I would have liked a little more character development.

Etta had her life planned out, going away to college and moving on with her life away from the town she grew up in. Ending things with her high school sweetheart, Andrew, wasn't an easy decision but one Etta felt she had to make because the of the direction her life was heading. However, fate had other plans for Etta who winds up back at her home town selling real estate, and tapping into her flair for interior design a little.

I was excited to start this book since I loved the two books I've read by Magan, but unfortunately it felt short.
Etta broke up with her high school sweetheart, Andrew, because she thought their relationship would not last the long distance thing. Few years later, on Christmas, she's asked to show Andrew's childhood home that is now being sold. To her surprise, Andrew is the one that's interested in buying the house.

This is one of the novella’s in the 12 NA’s of Christmas and what a fine addition it is. This was the first Magan Vernon book I have read and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.

The entirety of the story takes place over about 12 hours. Etta is a realtor, and she shows her high school boyfriend Andrew his old house on Christmas Eve. The combination of second chance romance and Christmas story should have been right up my alley, but this didn't work for me.
The timeline was confusing. In some parts of the book it seemed as if it had only been a couple of years since they'd graduated and broke up. But other things would make me think it had been a lot longer than that. And ...more

Off The Market is another fast sweet read at 55 pages. We have Etta and Andrew, high school sweethearts, as our main characters. Etta is the girl who broke all ties and left for college.
I think this is the first book I have read by Magan Vernon and it gave me a little taste of her writing style. I think I would really like her other books.

What can I say that isn't already written in the synopsis of a fifty five page novella? You have Christmas, a second chance romance and some hot and sexy...what more could you want? Wrap it all up together and you have a very pleasurable quick and easy Christmas read.
I have to give Vernon credit for being able to pull off a story in so few pages. In most books it takes more than that to get into a story or get to know or even lik ...more

*sigh* My expectations with most of these 12 NA's of Christmas was different than what it should have been. All the ones that I have read thus far have been misses for me, but to be fair that has a lot to do with wrong expectations and personal preferences.
This is is a fairly short novella about reuniting exes. There are a few sexy times with a little background about the past. Since I prefer fade to black love scenes, except for very rare occurrences, there wasn't much left for me in this story ...more

I absolutely loved this story. I normally don't like second chance stories, but I really love this one. I love the fact that Etta and Andrew view their breakup as a mistake. However, Etta felt it more, because she was the one to break it off. However, they were able to get back together Christmas Eve. I loved that both of them had feelings for each other, but were a little nervous to let the other know. Yet somehow the magic of Christmas brought them back together. Just ...more

Off the Market was a quick and easy read. The storyline was the conventional, predictable second chance story. As typical of a novella, Off the Market had a sweet story but without depth, substance and character development. I liked the premise of the story but would have liked to get below the surface and know more about their lives in between. The characters, Andrew Lawson and Etta Davis, had great potential for being strong, sexy, sassy and lovable characters. If looking for a short charming

Etta Davis and Andrew Lawson were high school sweethearts. Etta broke up with him to go to college.
A few years later, on a Christmas she is stuck by showing house.
The house she is showing is the old family house of her high school sweetheart.
That old house brought them back together.

A sweet holiday story about second chance love.
I loved Andrew right away and the fact that he and Etta just picked up right where they left off, no wasting time was perfect.
This story was the perfect blend of steam and romance.

Magan Vernon has been living off of reader tears since she wrote her first short story in 2004. She now spends her time killing off fictional characters, pretending to plot while she really just watches Netflix, and she tries to do this all while her two young children run amok around her Texas ranch.
