Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood
Tropes: snowed in, best friend's little brother, second chance (sort of)
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

AH's books are hit or miss for me, but this was actually good??? & I lol'ed a lot. Honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this.

Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey
Tropes: small town, cowboy, single mom
Rating: ⭐⭐

All of the tropes I enjoy and a whole lot of potential, but somehow so cringe and off-putting.

All by My Elf by Olivia Dade
Tropes: coworkers, snowed in (sort of), only one wiener truck
Rating: ⭐⭐

This was weird and could have been so much better if it were longer.

Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur
Tropes: fireman, damsel in distress
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

Honestly the constant trouble Everleigh got into made me laugh, the chemistry between her and Griffin was fantastic, and this was just all around a good time! I did wish there was an epilogue or something, as this ended very abruptly but whatevs.

Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria
Tropes: neighbors, secret admirer 
Rating: ⭐️⭐️.5

It was cute but I didn’t feel a connection between Evie and Theo at all

I don’t think I was prepared for the sheer fluffiness of I’m Not Your Pet. There’s spice of course, but this was just too adorable for words! 

Roark and Hugo are both so absolutely precious, and I just loved how sweet they were to each other & were together in general. Despite their differences and inability to properly communicate with one another, they cared so deeply for each other. 

Of course, with any book by Fae, there’s plenty of laughs and it will absolutely put you in your feelings, but I’m Not Your Pet was just so lovely 🥹

I'm not really sure how to rate this. I really enjoyed the concept of this with the cursed nobles, disappearing king, and the Order. It had good bones, despite characters that were a bit bland and super basic word building, but it never hooked me the way I hoped.
