Christmas in Ireland: An Optional Novella

by Siobhan Davis, The "Write" Editor (Editor), The Critical Touch (Editor)

Snow, sláinte, and a family that rallies around one of their own…

Vivien and Dillon are spending Christmas on the O’Donoghue farm with their four kids and the whole extended clan, and Dillon is determined to make it one his California girl will never forget.

But when Ro doesn’t show up for Christmas dinner, the family uncovers a secret nobody saw coming—one that threatens to unravel everything he loves.

Old wounds resurface, tempers flare, and words left unsaid for years are finally spoken.

It’s a holiday full of family, laughter, and a few tears, and there’s nothing the O’Donoghues won’t do to make it a Christmas to remember.

This is an optional Christmas novella in the All of Me series. Told from multiple Vivien, Dillon, Ash, Jamie, Shania, Ronan, Audrey, and Alex. Grab the tissues and a hot drink for a heartfelt return to the characters you love.

102 pages, Kindle Edition

Expected publication November 16, 2026

This novella was like coming home to family at Christmas after a long time away.

You absolutely need to read the All of Me series before reading this novella. This series was one my favorite serise by Siobhan and getting to read and see these characters again during the holidays was so beautiful.

I love that we get POV's from just about every character. There's some tension and lots of emotions, but overall, it's a story of family coming together at the holidays.

In true Siobhan fashion, she makes you feel everything, even in a short novella. And let's not forget about the spice - there is no shortage of that in this novella either.

Perfect holiday novella for fans of the All of Me series!!

All of Me was one of my favorite book series written by Siobhan Davis and every time she gives me another update with these characters I swoon, absolutely swoon. I love that for this novella, everyone is back in Ireland for Christmas, the very place where Viv and Dillon fell in love.❤️

All the kids and the entire O’Donoghue family were present which was fun, even with some drama mixed in. I always enjoy returning to this world with my favorite characters, Dillon and Viv, whose love never seems to compare to anyone else I ever read, but I really enjoyed getting inside the other family members heads in this book too. 🥰 Ronan and Shania were the most emotional part which made me yearn for more of them. Yearn to dig more into their history and more of their future. ❤️ 

A big family Christmas in Ireland, especially with the O'Donoghue's was perfect to kick off the holiday season and like I've already said, I'm always up for more from this world.

⚠️This reviews contains spoilers for the previous books.⚠️

It has been over a year since I've read the "All of Me" series. This series definitely broke my heart multiple times and it took a long time to heal. And now Siobhan wrote this little novella... My poor poor heart 💔😭

I absolutely loved to see these characters again.
Even though this book is book 6 in the series, it's set between book 2 & 3. Yes, it's a trilogy and has now 6 books, that's because booo 4 & 5 are a "retelling" from different POV's of book 1 & 2. With lots of scenes that weren't included before, because, yes you guessed right, different POv 😉

I don't want to say too much about this one. It's a short novella and I don't want to spoil too much. So I'll just talk a bit more about the whole series 😁
As I said, it broke my heart and just thinking about it makes me cry again 😭

If you love heartbreak. If you love emotional torture. If you love love triangles. If you love childhood friends. Then this series is ab absolut must-read for you. Siobhan knows how to break her readers 🙈

I really loved going back to Ireland and seeing them all again. And not just the adults, no, all their kids too 😱 So many kids 😱 Such a huge family 🥰 Ajd how they stay up for each other 🩷

Now go!!! Read this series and be lucky you can read this Christmas book right away with the series 😁

Thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC 🩷

Siobhan Davis has given us an early Christmas present & wow, what a gift to receive. It's safe to say I felt every emotion whilst spending Christmas with the O'Donoghues...


There is a reason that Siobhan Davis is an absolute MUST read author for me. Not only does she write incredible stories but she delivers characters that imbed themselves in to your heart.
That is exactly what happened when I read The All of me series. So getting the chance to revisit this family, spend more time with Vivian, Dillon & the Lancaster/O’Donoghue clan…….. Yes please !

This family have the biggest hearts. Spending Christmas in Ireland & reading this Novella was like reuniting with your favourite friends.

What can you expect?
🎄Dillon & Vivien, married with four kids and still so in love
🎄 A cozy Irish Christmas on the O'Donoghue farm
🎄 Big family chaos, snow and sláinte
🎄 A secret that rocks the whole family
🎄 Old wounds and words left unsaid for years
🎄 Laughter, a few tears, and a whole lot of heart

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you know me you know my love for Siobhan Davis and her books. This novella is no exception. The All of Me series is one of my favorites so getting this novella with all the characters again, well it’s like getting that warm cozy hug at Christmas.

Before reading the Novella you do need to read the original series so it makes sense and it all comes together for you.

Siobhan takes us back to Ireland for Christmas where we get to spend time with the entire O Donohue clan for the holidays.

I really don’t want to giveaway too much but expect happiness and tears , holidays and chaos , laughter and angst and like Siobhan always does a twist that affect this family.

Thank you Siobhan for this arc.

This was such a great novella. It was so good to get more of Viv and Dillon and for them to be back in Ireland again where their story originally started.

I loved getting POV’s from all the characters, but I was really drawn to Ronan and Shania. Their relationship was what brought the emotional drama and made me want more of them.

If there’s one thing Siobhan is beyond brilliant at and manages to always achieve it’s making me- the reader- feel the emotions and feelings of the characters. Her All Of Me series is the one series that made me cry like a baby and literally made me hurt inside from what Viv went through.

If you’re familiar with Viv and Dillon from the beginning, you’ll love this short and sweet addition to their story!

What a fun, seasonal way to catch back up with the “Say I’m the One” universe!

It was so good to read something new about our favorite couple, Viv and Dillon, and their extended family and friends. I’d almost forgotten how good they are together! I love the way they love their kids, their siblings and parents, but mostly each other. This series has always been one of my absolute favorites and this was like visiting old friends who have new stories to share. I can’t recommend it highly enough, but you really need to have read the original series to truly appreciate it.

[Annabelle Zamora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another glimpse at one of my favorite book series.

Absolutely loved that we get to read a bit more of what's been happening in the lives of our favorite couple Viv and Dillon. We also get to see how Ash and Jamie, Ro and Shania, Audrey and Alex are doing and have been doing with their lives.

Absolutely loved this Novella. Hopefully it wont be the last time we get to read about these amazing couples.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Christmas in Ireland is the perfect glimpse into our favorite rockstars and their families spending the holiday together on the farm. The All of Me series is an absolute favorite of mine and I always welcome any opportunity to spend a little more time in their world. I love how the multiple POVs throughout this novella give us updates into everyone's lives.

[Kristy Odom · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved getting to go back to Ireland with this family! I felt like no time had passed, and we got to go back with our rock stars and their families. I love Dillon as a dad, and I wanted to cry for Ro. It was a great Christmas!

Everything Siobhan Davis writes is always an emotional, addictive read, and this was no exception.
A fantastic read that I couldn't put down.
Loved visiting this world again!
Highly recommend.
