A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richards

A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richards is a sweet holiday romance that is exactly what I needed today. I love holiday/Christmas Romance and this made my super gloomy day much brighter us it made my heart happy. This is a short story about Thea and Ben. She pretty much has bad luck when it comes to trying to find the right man. He has the whole I don’t have to prove a dang thing attitude. He stops in the bakery hoping to grab some cupcakes .but she doesn’t sell cupcakes but she found something else What neither one expected was to find exactly what they didn’t realize they was looking for. I loved these two and all the other characters. I literally read this in one sitting. I highly recommend reading this book to find put what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

A Sweet Christmas is just the type of book everyone needs to read this time of year to get us in the holiday spirit. I love to read Christmas Novellas that give the reader just enough information to enjoy the book without leaving out important details. This author did a great job with Ben and Thea’s growing attraction.

Ben walks into Thea’s shop looking for something every bakery sells but, Sweet Confections offers all kinds of sweet bakery delights aside from cupcakes lol. Ben gets some tasty treats and also tries to get Thea to come with him but she declines. Ben comes back and after speaking with Thea a bit he asks her out again but this time she accepts to meet him next Saturday for sushi.

Thea recently broke up with her ex boyfriend so she doesn’t really know if she’s ready for this but the attraction and chemistry can’t be denied. Will she give in or will she just keep Ben as a friend / customer?

This was a sweet fast paced holiday read that anyone is sure to enjoy. Looking forward to more books by this author.

I really enjoyed this short Christmas story. The author does an amazing job making the story have a really festive feel. Romance and Christmas go hand in hand and the author does a great job showing that. The characters are well written as well and the story overall feel complete. You can help but fall in love with them.

Thea and Ben are two people who aren’t looking for love or romance. Thea has had a bad past with relationships and wants to concentrate on her business, Ben is a confident guy who feels that he doesn’t need a women in his life and that a women would add nothing.
But how wrong they both were. From the second they meet their chemistry jumps off the page and you just want them both to give in and fall in love.

I really enjoyed this story. It was feel-good and easy-to-read which was just what I was looking for.
Sparks fly between Thea and Benjamin as soon as they meet. They have wonderful chemistry that flies off the pages at you. I love Christmas books and the Christmassy feeling runs throughout, it left me feeling ready for the festive season.
This was a really quick read, but the author packed so much into it I didn’t feel as though I was missing out.
If you are looking for something light and fun then I would recommend this book

This was a really good book! At the beginning I wasn’t too sure about this one, because it seemed like the story was going really fast and was just going to lose traction and be a fluff story but I really enjoyed this novella (it did feel more like a novel to me) once I got about 25% of the way in. I enjoyed the Christmas and the Sweet (get it? Haha) theme was present in this novel. The characters were relatable and it was easy to get lost in the story. This was steamy, romantic and overall a relatable story. I was originally going to give this book 4 stars but by the time I got to the end I had tears in my eyes and couldn’t stop smiling so it’s definitely getting 5 stars from me! Thank you author for writing such a great holiday story!

My heart is still smiling after finishing this book, I loved this story. The story of Thea and Ben is a perfect holiday read. Thea is an owner of a bakeshop and all business. She does not have much luck when it comes to men, that is until a handsome gentleman, Ben, walks into her bakeshop and the story just takes off from there. Ben really had my heart in this book , he was just so full of love, promise and very attentive to Thea from the beginning. Thea being a business owner is really caring and loving and I loved that both Thea and Ben were all about family. From dates on getting to know each other to very hot sizzling moments, I could not get enough of this book.

This was the first book I have read from this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I mostly read romances and this was right up my alley! I love the holidays and truly believe that they are the perfect time to read romance!

Ben and Thea were very well crafted, the story was short and sweet. This author wastes no time getting to the point and neither does Ben. I loved the meeting in the bakery and the sweet scenes the author puts up. I will for sure be recommending this to my friends!

When a complete stranger steps into Thea’s bakery she is thrown into a whirlwind romance. Ben is a smooth talking charmer and it makes you wonder if it’s too good to be true. Thea and Ben spend the time around the holidays getting closer and finding that the things that they are looking for could be right in front of them.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a sweet love story (see what I did there), but it also was a refreshing spicy book as well. The characters were relatable and liked and it left me wanting more. I did have questions while reading like wanting to know more about her brother and where that will go. Also, wanting more to the story of her friend Jules and what came of her? Why had she started acting out of character. While I could make my own conclusions, I’m curious to see if there will be more to this or another novella coming! I am left with a little hole of unanswered questions.

Even with the unanswered questions I still highly recommend this book for anyone who would like a moderately steamy Christmas love story. This is a perfect book for you! I kept flipping the pages craving more and think anyone else would be too!

A Sweet Christmas is literally and figuratively exactly what this book was. It was a sweet romance between a baker and a guy in a suit, that started over the blue eyed stare of Ben.
I thought it was cute and sweet! Honestly I was reading like this can’t be real, when’s the other shoe going to drop and he’s going to have the grovel his way back. It never happened. The way the author wrote Ben and Thea it was like out of a fairytale. Boy meets girl, girl likes boy, boy is perfection, no drama.
A Sweet Christmas romance, that gives off that let’s cozy up with a big mug of hot chocolate and enjoy our book. I didn’t read it that way but I wish I did. Hmmmm… maybe I will have to read it again and do just that!

This sweet romance read is like a Hallmark Christmas movie with a little spice! I love that there is no real drama in this story. Its refreshing to read a book that has no serious drama in it, mostly sweetness all the way through. I love reading from Thea’s point of view and her thought process on everything that happens. Nothing seemed too far fetched making the story realistic in my opinion. Not wanting to give anything away I enjoyed the surprise for the last chapter! I wouldn’t mind reading more about Jules! Maybe a second book is in the future!

This was a short and romantic story that I am so glad I picked up this season! The author created characters that were easy to like and their romance was something that we rooted for from the second Benjamin walked into Thea’s pastry shop. Benjamin is the type of man that you dream about – attentive, caring, sweet (no pun intended), and an all-around GOOD guy. Thea’s ex – not so much! She had been through a major heartbreak and was not looking for love, but it definitely found her. I love the love story. The side characters were just as important to make the story seem more realistic and give it that wholesome holiday feel. I read it all super quickly in one sitting and my heart felt lighter by the end. If you’re looking for a short (but super sweet) Christmas story, please don’t pass this one up!

A Sweet Christmas : A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richard is a cute little romance that will warm your heart and titillate your senses. This story may not have been long, and it started out a a nice sedate pace. But whoa it didn’t stay that way. It increased in intensity and attraction. You could feel the pheromones flying around. This was my first time reading anything by Nicole Richard. What a storyteller. The chemistry between Thea and Ben was arousing and engaging. I was in heaven. Loved all that was this story. Loved the dialogue between the characters and the playful banter was delightfully entertaining.
I encourage all to wrap themselves up in this festive and cavity inducing sweet romance. I could not think of a better way to get into the festive spirit. A jolly 5 stars.

A Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard is such a fun, sometimes steamy Christmas romance that just makes you feel good. I know that probably sounds silly to some but it’s so true. With wonderful warm hearted, caring characters this story will fill your heart with Christmas cheer and love. Thea and Ben along with some fun family and friends will remind you that if you open your heart truly wonderful things can happen.

A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richard is a fun and light-hearted Rom Com. This sweet tale will put you in the Christmas spirit and have you falling in love with the characters. Even though this trope has been used many times before, Nicole has mixed this story with all the right ingredients. It’s a lot sweet, a little spicy, with a dash of sassiness and a whole lot of sexy. Ben & Thea’s story is just baked just right for this setting. There is no drama, just good old-fashioned boy meets girl, with a lot of family and an outstanding business partner, not to mention lots of baked items and whole lot of romance. It is a fast read but a good read.

I am the type of girl that will watch, and replay all Hallmark and Netflix Christmas movies, over and over, all year long. I love the tingly feeling I get all over as my body is covered in goosebumps, and my heart goes pitter patter like you wouldn’t believe. For this reason, I love reading romantic Christmas/Holiday based novels too. My family knows to either buy me those, or care packages that make for the ultimate reading experience. This novella ‘A Sweet Christmas’ by Nicole Richard gave me the same feeling deep inside as all those movies do. I couldn’t put it down. Not only did the energy sizzle between Thea and Ben, but the selflessness and love that was emitted by both characters swept me off my feet.

Their relationship was a whirlwind romance, and as with all romances, there are hurdles to overcome as well. The importance of these hurdles is to experience them with your partner and know that they are there for you through thick and thin. These two could overcome any obstacle that is thrown at them, and being that they are both very family oriented, these two are destined for the stars. I was sad when their story came to an end, but it will be on my list of books to read (or reread) moving through the holidays I very much look forward to reading more by Ms. Richard. Highly recommend!

A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richard is a fun and light-hearted Romance Book. If you love steamy Christmas stories than this is the book for you! Thea and Mr. Benjamin Sweet bring the steaminess to their relationship! All it took was Mr. Benjamin Sweet to walk into Thea’s bakery last minute to buy some cakes for an event he was going to for this relationship to take off and sky rocket into the Christmas Spirit. I love how Ben’s family takes Thea and her brother Matt in during Christmas time. Ben shows us that Chivalry isn’t dead. And the end was absolutely to die for I was so excited at the end I couldn’t stop smiling. I love that it was a quick and easy read. But, let’s be honest we all want a second one because I need to know if Matt and Will end up back together and If Jules Thea best friend is pregnant! Nicole Richard leaves the book open for a possible Christmas add on to it.
