A Partridge and a Pregnancy by Devney Perry



3 Stars

There are a lot of places I’d rather spend Christmas Eve morning than on a cold, snowy sidewalk outside someone else’s home. I’d kill to be sitting beside a fireplace, drinking cocoa, wearing flannel pajamas, and reading a book.

Instead, I’m here, standing in front of my one-night stand’s house, working up the courage to ring the doorbell and tell him I’m pregnant.

I hate that term—one-night stand. It sounds so cheap and sleazy. Tobias Holiday is neither of those things. He’s handsome and caring. Witty and charismatic. And once, a long time ago, he was mine.

Our one-night reunion was only supposed to be a hookup. A fling with an old lover. A parting farewell before I moved to London and put my feelings for him an ocean away. How exactly am I supposed to explain that to Tobias that I’m having a baby? His baby? Maybe I could sing it. He always loved the silly songs I made up in the shower.

Three French hens, two turtle doves.

And a partridge and a pregnancy.

I wanted to love this like I did the first two but I hated Eva so much. She never gets better even when they finally got together. She was selfish throughout the book. She didn’t want to be stuck in one location. Ok no problem. Instead of having that talk with Tobias she decided they wouldn’t work and broke up with him. Then when they come together is mad that he dated others after they broke up. The fight over custody was another issue for me. Ma’am you have no support in London. Who do you think is watching the kid while you work. Tobias has his entire family but yeah you are the better choice. I wanted more for Tobias.

Three Bells, Two Bows, One Brother’s BFF by Devney Perry


4 Stars

I pride myself in being grounded. Sure, I’ve had my share of childhood fantasies. Winning an Oscar. Winning the lottery. Winning an Olympic medal for an athletic talent I have yet to discover. But the only fantasy I ever thought might actually happen was winning my brother’s best friend.

Heath Holiday.

My crush on him has ebbed and flowed over the years, but the day I started working for his construction company was the day I smothered it for good. Sort of. Mostly. It was on my to-do list. Making it a priority would have been easier had he not arrived at his family’s annual Christmas party looking ridiculously handsome in a suit.

Then he kissed me. We stepped into an alternate universe and he kissed me. I assumed the next day I’d just be Guy’s little sister again. The office newbie. Our kiss forgotten. Except he keeps showing up at my house. With gifts.

A gold bracelet carrying three jingling bells. Two dainty jeweled earrings, each shaped as a bow. And finally, he brought himself.

One brother’s best friend, asking if I can keep a secret.

Heath was such an idiot but I enjoyed his idiocy. Stella deserved to not be his dirty little secret for most of the book and when she has enough and he gets smacked down I laughed so hard. He deserved it but Heath does make up for it later, it just took a while.

The Naughty, The Nice, The Nanny by Devney Perry



4 Stars

One week with one little girl—an angel, according to my staffing agency. Acting as the short-term nanny for a single dad should have been an easy way to make some extra cash. Until I show up for my first day and face off with a demon disguised as a seven-year-old girl wearing a red tutu and matching glitter slippers.

Oh, and her father? My temporary boss? Maddox Holiday. The same Maddox Holiday I crushed on in high school. The same Maddox Holiday who didn’t even know I existed. And the same Maddox Holiday who hasn’t set foot in Montana for years because he’s been too busy running his billionaire empire.

Enduring seven days is going to feel like scaling the Himalayas in six-inch heels. Toss in the Holiday family’s annual soiree, and Christmas Eve nightmares really do come true. But I can do anything for a week, especially for this paycheck, even if it means wrangling the naughty, impressing the nice, and playing the nanny.

I loved this audiobook so much. I enjoyed the characters. One big complaint was there needed to be more world building and character development. I get that it was a short story but it still needed more. I liked the relationship between Maddox and his family and daughter. Natalie was a bit wishy washy which is understandable since she didn’t want to start something with Maddox while he was her boss.

Cocoa with Krampus by Nattie Rhodes



3 Stars

My best friend tells me everything.
She warned me I shouldn't stay in New York for the imminent holiday season. She also said my supervisor is a jerk. What she didn’t tell me is that the evil King of Christmas is real.
I don't believe in magic, let alone Santa.
On the night of the anniversary of losing my mother, I'm invited to dinner with my sleazy boss who just cannot take a hint. After escaping his entitled, wandering hands I find myself wrapped in the comforting, protective arms of the holiday bad boy himself, Peter Krampus.
Will his abilities scare me away? Or will I learn that true love, and Christmas miracles, do exist?

This was a cute holiday book. Tieran needed more of a backbone. Her boss’ consequences weren’t enough for what he tried to do. I loved how peter was all in and wanted to take care of her instantly. Same with the BFF. My biggest issue was how it ended. It felt rushed and incomplete. Overall, I enjoyed and hope the BFF gets her own book.

Brewing Up Christmas by Emily Campbell



3 Stars

Eli, Bayshore’s charming bartender and notorious ladies’ man, has always shrugged off the holiday spirit. But when a mysterious woman strolls into his brewery, everything changes. What starts as a whirlwind night of passion quickly transforms into something far more magical when Eli finds himself at the center of a Christmas mission he never asked for.

Angelina isn’t just passing through—she’s Santa’s Chief Spirit Officer, tasked with restoring the town’s dwindling Christmas cheer. And now, she’s enlisted Eli to help her. With pointed ears and a magical Christmas spirit meter tracking his every move, Eli must decorate, spread joy, and reluctantly embrace the season if he ever wants to return to his old self.

As they deck the halls of Bayshore, sparks fly between Eli and Angelina, blending holiday cheer with undeniable attraction. But with each magical encounter, Eli finds himself questioning whether getting back to normal is really what he wants—or if Angelina has given him something far better than any gift under the tree.

The description said sparks fly between Eli and Angelina, but I didn’t see it. I never felt a connection between them. Overall, it was a meh book about Christmas spirit. It was a short story and might have been better if it was longer as there could have been better development of the story and the characters.

Good Elf Gone Wrong by Alina Jacobs



3 Stars

Last Christmas Gracie was expecting to get married to her fiancé until she caught him under the Christmas tree with her sister. This Christmas her sister is planning on marrying her ex-fiancé. All she wants is to show up with someone who will ruin the day for her ex and sister. She meets Hudson on the bus on her way home. He has his own reason for helping her get her revenge. When all secrets are revealed, will they find their HEA?

Gracie is such a pushover throughout this book. Everyone is a dick to her, and she takes it. She gets screwed over by people who should support her, but she eventually gets her best by the end. Hudson is a dick and does a couple of things to make up for the lies but not enough for me. Granny Murray was the best in the entire book. Worth reading but you definitely need the short story to feel like there is a complete book.

Demon’s Joy by Katie May and Ann Denton



4 Stars

Demons are always trying to steal Christmas, but none have come close until now. Joy is on a mission with the reindeer turned men/demons to save her father and Christmas. Will they be able to save Christmas without falling for each other?

This was a weird holiday book, but it was so good. It’s fast paced and an interesting Christmas story. I loved the premise and how it was written. Joy was strong and willing to do anything to save her dad and Christmas. The guys were interesting, and I loved how they reformed for Joy. Definitely worth reading this Christmas book.

Santa Tried by Indie Sparks



3 Stars

Nick lived a very fun life until his dad retired and he had to take over as Santa. He takes this job very seriously and even with his past Daddy Dom days things are running smoothly at the north pole. The one person he can’t get on the straight and narrow is Calista. She is an elf that needs a firm hand to keep her in line.

Short and spicy holiday read. No plot or world building but for 27 pages it was a good read.
