To help you get into the spirit, here are some holiday romances that will make your December bright :)
❄️❄️❄️If you want something short to read in between all the family and friend gatherings, read:
Wrapped Up in You by Talia Hibbert
A novella where the main character gets snowed in for the holidays with the sexiest man alive, who just so happens to have pined after her for years. I mean!
❄️❄️❄️If you prefer your holiday books to transport you to a different time and place, read:
A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong by Cecilia Grant
Another novella, and another snowstorm, this time a historical romance with fake dating.
❄️❄️❄️If you want a book that feels like a Hallmark movie, read:
Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison
Friends to lovers and small town…on a Christmas tree farm. Perfection.
❄️❄️❄️If you’re looking for something that takes “holiday magic” seriously, read:
In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Classic CLo humor, and a plot laced with magical realism. Fun and weird, and I also recommend the audiobook!

Ice Planet Holiday by Ruby Dixon
Because sometimes you want something a lil freaky.
❄️❄️❄️If you want a travel-inspired holiday book, read:
A Holly Jolly Diwali by Sonya Lalli
A follow-the-rules gal gets fired, travels to India on a whim for a friend’s wedding, and gets in touch with her roots all while finding romance. Insta-lovey, but travel romances irl are sometimes like that if we’re being honest.
❄️❄️❄️If you want the holiday ~drama~, read:
Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
A marriage of convenience…with the brother of a woman you fell for during a magical night last year. Y E A R N I N G to the max.

This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens
I love this book. It gave me actual butterflies! Bonus: it was adapted to film and stars Lucien Laviscount from Emily in Paris.
