Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
The grammar was atrocious and PA said the book hadn’t been edited. Felt like bad fan fiction.

This is book two of a paranormal romance series. I’m not a good judge but I think it probably could be read as a stand-alone but it’s absolutely going to be better if you read Lee first. Parts of this book take place during a similar time frame as Lee. I liked the character of Belle more than I did Lee- but that’s due to Lee’s job in her book, not how either character is written. 

Belle is looking for a picture perfect Christmas, her first real one. She hops on a dating app and connects up with four guys who are all a millennia old. The guys are a hoot and it’s definite insta- love for the guys and Belle falls in love 30 seconds after that - my favorite kind of book!

I really enjoyed this one. I love RH books but sometimes that harem gets a little crazy, which I love sometimes but less is more. You really get to know the characters well and each character has their own unique voice. There’s a storyline that wasn’t as developed as I’d hope but I suspect we’ll find out more in the next two books.

Quick holiday story featuring two former co-workers who get together only to find out they both had a crush on each other years earlier. Takes place on Christmas Eve. There’s a lot of angst for a short story and it’s a slow burn as well. Both MC have a lot of personality. 

Story is written well, no grammatical errors.

My Pact With Santa by Maureen Shigeno, Maureen Shigeno

lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

4.0

This book is just like a Hallmark movie - a little predictable (the two MCs both have love each other but neither will admit it), but just what you want to read at Christmas, very lighthearted, easy to read, just a fun small novella by an author I’ve yet to read before. The ending was a little abrupt for my liking - I would have liked to see a little more of them after they’re happily in love.  But if you’re looking for a  quick sweet yet spicy read this is it. 

I look forward to reading another book by this author again.
