Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After Book 2) by Stephanie Harrell-Review by Elena Tobar

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After, #2)Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a beautiful love story. This book absolutely blew me away from the very first page. I really like that Harper is not a size two, she has curves and Lincoln is immediately taken in by her beauty. It doesn’t take him getting to know her before he finds her attractive. He is attracted to her physically and then also mentally once he does get to know her. Harper had such a rough childhood being bullied because of her weight and she doesn’t think that anyone, much less someone as hot as Lincoln would find her so physically attractive. It doesn’t take him long to get her to see her physical beauty as well and to realize that it’s just as amazing as her inner beauty. Lincoln had a really rough childhood and doesn’t feel that he could be a good father but he takes the leap and starts to realize that not only can he do this but he wants it with all of his heart. They face some pretty rough obstacles along the way but the ending is all I could have hoped for. If you’re an absolute die heard romance fan like I am, this is one book you definitely won’t want to miss.

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairing Series Book 1) by Parker Fairchild – Review by Anantha Rusum

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1) by Parker Fairfield is a fun christmas romance, reminded me of a Hallmark movie.

Olivia Chasen, a chemist, and a budding writer, is on a cruise to escape spending Christmas with her twin sister and her new fiancé—ex. Jace is a Navy SEAL. He’s on the cruise going to his friend’s wedding. But unknown to them, they are up for a treat of their lifetime, when Mr and Mrs Claus themselves step in to make a perfect Christmas match.

It is a lovely book to bring on the Christmas spirits. I enjoyed every bit of it.

This was a beautiful story! It gave you all the romantic Hallmark Christmas vibes, and kept you smiling. Still a bit early, but this book does help you get in the mood for Christmas!

Dr. Olivia was a wonderful character, and it was a delight to watch her fall in love. Jace was perfectly sweet and lovable. He and Olivia together was a lot of fun, and the chemistry was there from the start. We had wonderful older characters, and were even visited by the amazing Mr. and Mrs. Claus. This book was sweet and a feel good read all around.

I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. This is Harper and Lincoln’s story of a chance encounter with Lincoln saving Harper from drowning to a hot, lustful weekend ending up with a positive pregnancy test. When Lincoln returns to Rhode Island to see Harper after he finishes his movie shoot, he finds out he is going to be a dad. I love how the story unfolds and you also get a feel on the past hurts that haunt both Lincoln and Harper everyday and how they come to overcome these obstacles. This story is wonderful and full some great moments and lots of love, passion and truly a HEA. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A Sweet Christmas: A Sweet Confections Novella by Nicole Richards – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Sweet Christmas is a Sweet Confections Novella. It’s a short, fun, festive story! Great for romance lovers looking for something to read around the holidays, when you can get an hour or so to yourself.

For me, the big draw of this story is the baked goods. Thea runs a bakery and there’s plenty of description of the delicious cakes she makes! I love reading about food (although I love eating it more… this book could come with a free cupcake?)

Ben is a great character! I like how much he looks after Thea, and his sister Becca. Becca is also a great character – so friendly and enthusiastic!

There’s a little bit of tension and drama, enough to keep it interesting but not so much that it isn’t a comforting, light read.

This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to romance fans looking for something light but sexy to read over the holidays.

Let me tell you! Wow! This story is amazing. The author knows how to tell a story and keep it interesting all the way through. I was so impressed with this story line and will most definitely go back and read the first three books in the series!
Luke, a single dad, is in a band and needs to find a nanny to watch his wonderful daughter while he is away.
Here comes Nikki, a nanny. She might be a fan favorite. Or at least a fan of Luke’s band! Will things heat up between these two! Will her true fan girl come out!
This story will keep you strumming along till the last beat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bakery owner Thea Sheldon has had some problems with relationships and is hesitant to jump anywhere near the world of dating when she meets Benjamin Sweet. Beyond his good looks and obvious charm, there’s something about him that dares her to hope. Despite this novella being short, I never once felt overwhelmed by the course of the story as I have with similarly sized books. Everything was well-written, steamy, and filled with enough sweets to give me cavities, I ate up the chapters in no time! By the end, I was left wondering where this book has been all my life. If you’re looking for a steamy Christmas romance, you’ve found the right book!

Super Cute Christmas Romance <3

I don’t typically get into romances…much less Holiday themed ones. However, this one was just too cute to pass up and I’m glad I read it! Olivia and her SEAL are such a sweet story together, from the beginning, middle, to the end. I found myself dreaming along with her, and experiencing a full range of emotions.

If you are looking for some Christmas Magic, pure love, and good feels, this is the book for you!!!

This was a light, sweet holiday read. It would definitely make a cute Hallmark Christmas movie for sure. The interactions between the characters with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus was a unique touch. I really thought it was crafty that Jace actually exists and that Olivia was truly meant to meet him. That piece for the pairing was really sweet and different. There were some details that I felt kind of took away from the main story but overall I definitely enjoyed it.

When I first picked up this book I expected a sweet holiday romance that was easy to read and a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. What I got was all of that but much more too. I thought the characters were everything in this book. They have such a strong connection – the chemistry is evident right from the start. I really engaged with their story and I wanted to know more about them both.
This really is a brilliant holiday story. It is the kind of book that you can curl up on a sofa with and become immersed in what is going in. This is a great book that is well worth a read.

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After, #2)Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great contemporary romance that I gave 4 stars. I had never previously read any of this author’s work but I liked the look for the blurb and was intrigued enough to give this book a go. I’m glad that I chose to give it a go as I really enjoyed it.
Although this book is the 2nd book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first book in the series before reading this one.
One thing I really liked about this book is that the female heroine is a larger, curvy lady. It makes such a welcome change from reading about female characters who are slim and ‘perfect’. As a larger, curvier woman myself it is empowering to read a female lead who does not comply with the norm.
I really enjoyed reading Lincoln and Harper’s story. It’s very much an opposites attract story. Harper is your everyday girl next door and Lincoln is an up and coming Hollywood movie star.
The author does a great job of pulling you into the story with an amusing first chapter and the story flows well from here and keeps the reader entertained and engaged in the story.
Would definitely recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet and fun little holiday romance read. I loved how it was a simple read. I mean that in a kind way too. Sometimes you just want to pick up a book and fall in love with it without all the drama and fuss, especially around the holidays. We often have enough of our own drama and fuss around them and need the magic and fun reminders when we look for escapes with things like books and art. This gem is just that. The love story of Thea and Ben is set in the perfect of seasons with lots of laughter and love to go around, plenty of sweet treats to be had, and cheer to be enjoyed. I devoured this read in a few short hours and drifted off to sleep to dream about my own holiday romances. The perfect Sunday if you ask me. Don’t wait, grab your copy today for your chance to have yours.

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1)Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship by Parker Fairchild
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun, enjoyable and engaging Christmas romance which really gave me the festive feeling. Olivia decides to go on a cruise to avoid spending Christmas with her twin sister and fiancé, who happens to be Olivia’s ex boyfriend. Olivia is a chemist and budding romance writer and whilst on the cruise she meets her fictional hero character in real life. Jace, a former Navy SEAL Commander is keen to meet Olivia when he discovers he’s her fantasy hero. Olivia is a bit skeptical, but with the help of the other passengers, especially Mrs. Claus and her Christmas cookies and a lot of Christmas magic, hopefully the couple will explore the connection between them. I loved Olivia and Jace and their chemistry really sizzled off the page. The mix of cruise passengers added to the over all feel of life on board and they all brought something to the story. The storyline had me hooked from start to finish and the setting was brought to life by the descriptive narrative. This was a lovely festive romance and it left me feeling in the Christmas spirit.

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1) by Parker Fairfield is a contemporary romance.

Olivia Chasen, a chemist, and aspiring romance writer, is on a cruise to escape spending Christmas with her lovely twin sister and her new fiancé—ex. Olivia’s Her other passengers now believe she’s in love with a fictional figure, owing to her lonely, inebriated ramblings on Santa’s knee. Jace Morse, a former Navy SEAL, has faced a lot of strange situations throughout his career, but he’s never had the honor, pleasure, or privilege of becoming a gorgeous and clever woman’s dream hero come to life. While he hasn’t met the sultry chemist, he is anxious to learn more about the chemistry that is brewing between them. It’ll take more than Christmas cookies and a little help from Mrs. Claus to bring the charming SEAL and the doubting Olivia together; it’ll need a whole lot of Christmas magic.

I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more.

This book is a witty, fun one of romance amidst Christmastime. Olivia is such an easy character to relate to, as is her desire for love. The story brings you into the Christmas spirit (even a self-proclaimed Grinch like me). A pleasant read, the story has sweet love scenes, which is a nice change from some of my favorite genres. There are great comedic moments mixed brilliantly with the not-so-funny moments. If you enjoy Christmas and sweet stories, this is the book for you.

Christmas cookies are yum, yum and this cruise ship has the best ones ever!
When Dr Olivia Chasen decided to cruise for Christmas to get away from her sister and her ex boyfriend there is no way she expected to become someones Christmas gift! Santa and Mrs Claus had other ideas though and make sure Olivia ends up having a truly amazing time. Jace Morse was cruising for Christmas to attend the wedding of his closest friends but this cruise would end up being so much more! under the watchful eyes of some oh so funny elderly passengers he starts to romance Olivia and prove to her he is the one for her.
This book is full of fun characters and so much Christmas spirit. It is truly a wonderful read.

An afternoon quick read
This is a cute cruise ship romance. With Christmas cheer, Santa and Mrs Claus and hot Navy SEALs there was a lot of merriment (and drinking) going on. A couple of times I found the dialogue a little choppy and stilted especially between Olivia and Jace but this didn’t distract me from the story line. A light hearted romance with an abundance of Christmas cookies made this the perfect choice for an afternoon delight.

This is the second book in the Curvy Ever After book series, it is only the first one I have read. I loved having the heroine in the story not be a size two and yet the man looked at her with love and told her how incredible she is. As a bigger person myself, it is nice to read a story that puts a plus size woman in a good light.
This was a great story that I could relate to, with childhood trauma that follows into adulthood. Lincoln and Harper came from totally different upbringings, but neither were perfect. Can they overcome their past to make a future for the family they have created?

There were so many feelings with this one… Love, loss, heartbreak, healing…
Luke and Nikki’s story is one of the “must reads”!

What a fun book to read as Christmas approaches! Olivia is on a cruise during the week of Christmas to avoid her sister and her new fiancé. As luck would have it, Olivia meets Santa & Mrs. Clause and her life changes for the better and things happen to help Olivia bring out her independent and strong side. Olivia and Jase are cute together and oh so meant to be together. Their relationship has some bumps but they work through it as both of them believe they will be together for a long time. The other characters are fun and made the story fun. Jase’s friends made Olivia feel comfortable and not like an outsider. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

I absolutely love Christmas books like this one, especially around this time of year! It was a perfectly entertaining read, one unlike any other! This Christmas read is funny, witty, heartwarming and so full of cheer and of course the magic of Christmas! I loved all of the detail that the author wrote with and how creative this story was, I’ve read many Christmas books in my time and this one is certainly memorable!

This story starts off fast and strong and doesn’t let up. It was a quicker read for me as there was always something going on that had me unable to put it down. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Luke is the 4th book of the series, and while you can read it as a standalone (I did) but I think it would be better to read the other books first and get a better understanding of the other guys and the backstory.

Luke is heartbreaking, sweet, and his chemistry with Nikki is off the charts. I love Nikki’s attitude, how she knows who she is and owns it. They both have baggage and are doing their best to get past it. Brie is absolutely adorable and I loved the relationships she had with her uncles. The immediate connection she has with Nikki is awesome too. This is a good rock star romance. I think my favorite part is when Luke asks who Nikki’s favorite DD member is!

I dove right in with a new author and was instantly happy I gave it a go. It was a light and easy read that was just what I was looking for. Who wouldn’t want a cruise at Christmastime? I also love the idea that this is a first in a series so it looks like I get to anticipate more fun and sweet love stories to keep me cozy and warm. This is one you don’t want to miss this holiday season!
