Year after year I say I'm going to binge holiday romances and I hardly ever find any that I love. I'll keep some of these in mind for next year. I do want to read her Valentines book in February! The Lovelight Farms series is one of my favorite stories ever. I love Stella and Luka so much - and In the Weeds is even better! I have one more ot read in the series.

Also agree with you on Silver Flames. My favorite in the series but also as someone who doesn't care that much about spice either way... those scenes were well done!
@RhondaHolden 2 күн бұрын
Oh my gosh! Spice makes me cringe, but I loved these scenes so much. It was my fave book of the year. Thanks for watching!

This is the first year I read holiday books....I'm normally not a seasonal reader, but I couldn't help myself. The Plight Before Christmas was very good followed by A Cross Country Christmas. I will forever recommend them during the holidays.

I definitely want to read more from Chloe Liese after reading The Mistletoe Motive last month. I really enjoyed it, her writing style and the type of characters she created. I don't have any more books by her on my physical TBR, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I'm curious what you think about that one and the Bride. I have the first book of the Hurricane Wars series on my physical TBR...one day I will finally get to it! Sounds like a great list with a lot of variety with the genres. Happy reading and Happy New Year!
