Wrapped Up in You by Melody ClairePages: 205
How it fits: Christmas and Romance MPG
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review: The first half of this I felt there was something missing and it would be a solid 3 stars, but then Jonathan did a 180 and I realised that was what was off. Jonathan started the book so self contained and anal, but Lucie broke through that and seeing Jonathan's change made me so happy. I loved that the whole family had some growth and there were some hot scenes too.

Review: A cute story about a guy who was shy and awkward talking to his crush getting some magical help from a purple haired woman he meets in the woods. Fun and sweet.

Review
Loved this friends-pretend-lovers-turn-to-lovers! Warm, sweet, heartfelt. The chemistry between Sean and Justin was perfect. Two mates who've never confessed their hidden feeling for so many years, that opportunity to 'pretend' to be lovers became explosive. A story to make you feel warm and fuzzy, and leaving you smiling at the end.
Too tired to review my last two. I think I've gone a bit loopy tbh. Can't believe how many we've read!

Review
An age-play-little story that starts off so sad I was in tears when Theodore found Aster’s letters to his deceased husband/daddy. It was heart wrenching. The story fell flat after that.

Review: Loved it. I'm a sucker for an accent. I like that it connected back to the first book.
In love with your strait best friend theme. But they haven't been in contact for 2 years. Michael ghosted him, to get over him.
Very cute. Kinda wish I had taken a break between books, instead of reading them back to back. But I still loved it.
That's it for me. I gotta get to bed soon.

Review
A second chance romance. As with most famous musician stories, there is drug abuse. I usually bypass such book. Just plain depressing. But it was a Mary Calms Christmas book, so I gave it a try. Dawson walks back into Chris’ life after rehab. Seeking redemption and the love he lost.
I think we have 19 books total. Crazy!🤪We put in a great run, but I think the other team out did us. Nice try everyone.

How can anyone read more?! Wow.
Great job! You all kept it a real race until the end!
Congrats everyone. I think we did a great job.
We did way better than we thought we would or could, and gave Books on the Rocks a run for their money. Had so much fun! Won't miss the amount of reading but will miss the team 😭
Thanks so much guys! I had a great time. Would race with you all any time!
I've signed up as an individual. Radiant Rainbows signed up together so just checking if you guys wanted to join as a team as well?https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Starts in January and open ended 🤔
Sure, I would join if we did it as a team.
You could talk me into joining as a team.
So this one is a bit more of a commitment as it runs the whole of 2025 😂https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It requires 5 so I might go over to the dark side and see if the MM readers from Books on the Rocks would join

FYI… I’m traveling out of country for a family reunion for a good week in September
Jessica, does that mean you won't do the D&D one? Or would you do both? We can message Skye about D&D perhaps?
Diane wrote: "Jessica, does that mean you won't do the D&D one? Or would you do both? We can message Skye about D&D perhaps?"I am doing both.
I reached out to a few people about the Book Quest and Ms Geo and Iliana want to join so I need two more.
I was hoping the four of us would do DnD together. If you could message Skye that would be great!
Has anyone else played DnD before? I used to play before I had kids, it's lots of fun!
I have played the real game, for sure. Many years ago. Two of my kids like it!
Never played, but have friends that are into it.
Would you two like to play Book Quest or should I ask in KMMP?
Jessica, I would love to try one of the Challenges, either D&D or Book Quest, but not sure I want to commit to both of them
What is Book Quest? Is there a link?I’m the same as Diane. I’m always committed to the April-Sept for Lisa’s Scavenger Hunt. So only one other long term challenge

It is the other link Jessica put in here, Msg 781.
No worries, lets keep this team together for DnD, (hopefully Skye is on board), and I've asked in KMMP if anyone wants to join Book Quest.
😭😭😭 Skye I wish I'd waited for you. I can't say no to Kiri and Trip now. Still glad we'll stay together as a four for DnD and thats gonna be the most fun.
No problem.I can't wait to see how the Dnd challenge works.

Review: We know no one is ever going to take a smelly homeless person home then fall in love with them and live happily ever after but I love to suspend belief and enjoy these types of stories. The romance was so sweet and I didn't even care there was no sex, it didn't need it.
