I really loved this addition to the story because it answered all the questions I had about how they were going to celebrate their Christmas.

I loved the characters in here but I did think Aurora didn't quite act like she did in the first story considering she was more closed off and this took place literally right after.

Content: clean sweet romance, once someone uses a hand gesture to communicate a bad word, talk of a loved one no longer being with them and the character trying to live their life again, drinking, drunk

I did NOT receive a complimentary copy. I read this on KU (Its included in the first book Sleigh Spells.)

I’m not crying …
As someone without a family who hasn’t ever had the family experience of Xmas, I understood Rory’s unease as well as the longing. This was amazingly sweet and gives me hope that at 40, maybe I’ll get a “family” Xmas one year …

This Christmas-themed novella is a fun bit of holiday cheer. Because it’s part of a series, the characters have already been established, but there is still enough character development that a new reader can get a sense of the players m. The plot is somewhat lacking, but adequate for the length of the story. A fun diversion for the season.

This was kind of boring and didn’t have much of a plot. (Half of it was figuring out what to get each other for Christmas.) It was basically an MF romance. But it was sweet too.

The reader, Johanna Parker was excellent. She had a lot of good voices and expressed emotion well. I’ve long loved her narration.

This was a continuation of Sleigh Spells. It consists of the first Christmas that Aurora spends in Holiday Haven and it is as syrupy sweet as you would expect it to be, and was just what I needed.

I have submitted this review after listening to the audiobook of this title. (Audible Membership)

This short story was included in the "Sleigh Spells" audiobook. It extends the Christmas theme to the self protrayed humbugs, seeing them celebrate the season exchanging gifts and good cheer.

Perfect add and ending to Sleigh Spells!

Direct continuation of Sleigh Spells.

[Clare · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one follows straight on from Sleigh Spells. It is only a little read, but was fun to read.

This was a great wrap up for everything that was left over and it was lovely to see these characters actually enjoying Christmas with their people.

This was a cute little novella.

[Janet L. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute Christmas cozy about a misfit group of friends that call themselves the Humbugs and are celebrating Christmas together for the first time.

I actually liked the storyline of this short much better than the first book of the series. The female protagonist was less whiny and more proactive.

[A.A.B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very cute, fluffy short story in the spirit of the first book from the series.
