this was pretty solidly a 3.5⭐️ read— it was charming and sexy overall, with a few moment that were just a liiiittle over the top but in a way that mostly worked for a bonkers holiday novella. It didnt quite wow me, but it was an enjoyable way to spend about 45min🤷🏼‍♀️ if you're looking for a quick & steamy holiday read, this is a decent option!

What a delightful read. Romance can sometimes be unpredictable if you are not familiar with the writer yet. The bubbly romance you want might be the steamiest, and sometimes you are not in the mood for that, so I am very happy that Romancing The Season gives you warnings whether the novella that you are about to read is sweet or extremely hot. In other words, this book is something that every romance lovers must keep in an area that is easy to reach because it is a book for everyone. It's like browsing through Hallmark's collection of romance films. The Snowman by Jillian Graves is one of the most memorable. It has a smart and fresh voice, and it's just full of romantic wonders. Definitely a must read.

3.5 stars.

Honestly, I knew that I couldn’t expect too too much because of how short this is, so I went into it with that mindset.

If you’re looking for a magical holiday story with a dash of spice, this is for you.

The fireplace scene was really cute, too.

For being so short, it was rather well-rounded! It didn’t seem overly unrealistic even though it’s magical. I enjoyed the 30 minutes it took me to read this. :)

Guide to my ratings:
5 stars: flawless, hard to put down
4 stars: it was really good and memorable
3 stars: it was good/okay
2 stars: no redeeming qualities and forgettable
1 star: horrible, had no idea what was going on, boring!!!
