My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thought this novella was extremely cute and adorable. It is fast paced and an easy read. Full of holiday cheer, romance, and family, this story will capture everyone’s heart. It isn’t too raunchy nor too clean. This is my first story in this series and I’m excited to read the others.

Another great addition to this series! Once again, K.G. Fletcher wrote a novella full of warm and fuzzies. Its because of this author I’ve found a love for holiday romance stories! So many feelings are packed into these quick reads, but by the end I’m content and happy. Amber and Gio both had their problems, but the attraction was there from the beginning. I loved reading every page of their story!

This is a quick, sweet Christmas read!
Amber doesn’t celebrate Christmas because of her very lonely past. In fact, the town knows her as a self-proclaimed grinch. Everything changes when she meets Gio, though. It is love at first sight. But then she learns he has a kid, and doubt starts creeping into her heart. Can she deal with her past so that she can open her heart to include others? Will she be able to move past her feelings of not measuring up to others to see what is being offered to her?
I enjoyed the story line. It was heart breaking for me to imagine what Amber must have gone through growing up the way she did. The characters were rather easy to relate to, which made the story flow very quickly for me. I enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them happy in the end.

To be a quick read, it was still oh so amazing! I loved every minute spent reading this Novella! I HAVE GOT to go read the others in the series NOW!! LOVED the setting and that it took place during CHRISTMAS. As a lover of Christmas I was puzzled as to why Amber was such a grinch. As I read more, her painful past was revealed, then I understood why. Gio met Amber and the instant attraction was perfect. After knowing why she was a grinch he made it his sole mission to fix her grinchness. LOL Loved how a new Holly leaf was turned as I continued to read. Gosh Amber and Gio’s love story was too sweet! I may have cried happy tears. Definitely a MUST read!!

So sweet and perfect for this time of year!
Amber is not a fan of the holiday season, she lets her workers do the bare minimum in her bar as far as decorations and her house is the only one on the block without any as well. She doesn’t care for it and is ready to end the year with a big bash to celebrate at her bar. Gio on the other hand is excited to take over his Nonna’s business so she can retire. He soon finds himself wanting to get to know more about this spit fire of a bar owner and why she doesn’t like Christmas. Will Amber let her guard down to Gio and share her secret? Can she put it all aside and start over with this beautiful family that came crashing into her life?
I fell in love with this little town so much. Cold creek just sounds beautiful and I would most certainly be on my way there if I could! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a sweet and steamy Christmas story full of romance, cute family moments and overcoming your past for a better future!

Oh my heart.
This was so wonderful. I am definitely a sucker for a Christmas romance. Though, this was so much more. This was a family puzzle that was missing a piece. Amber hated Christmas and everything it stood for. It was such a wonderful journey to watch that change in her heart. Giovanni is a single dad to a sweet girl Talia. They show amber the real magic of christmas and help her heal in more than one way. This was such a heartfelt beautifully written story!! Such a great Christmas read!!

This is the first-ever book I have picked up by this author but she did such an amazing job hooking me in from the first page. I felt like she was writing this book about me LOL. I was able to relate so much to Amber and her displeasure at Christmas time. There are so many details that the author used that I felt like I was reading about my own life. Amber, living in a small river town in the Hudson Valley of New York. I grew up and still live in a small river town in the Hudson Valley region of New York. The author just did an amazing job at being relatable to all the characters.
Amber is a Christmas season Grinch, who was abandoned by her parents. At the age of 18, she traveled through New York and settled in Cold Creek working in a pub. When the owner is set to retire, he sells the pub to Amber at a price she can’t turn down. After many years of being single Amber is finally accepting her single status when Giovanni enters the small town. The grandson of the beloved baker who is known as Mama to most of the town, there is an instant attraction between Amber and Gio. could this be the year Amber starts falling in love with Christmas? This is definitely a must-read book!!

A Cold Creek Christmas (Reigning Hearts, Book 5) by KG Fletcher
I absolutely loved everything about this book from the Cover to the wonderfully written story. This author continues to amaze me with her attention to detail and her characters are well developed and fun, easy to relate to. I’ve been in a funky mood lately and this helped to bring me out. From the moment I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I finished which I did in one afternoon. This is a Contemporary Romance about Amber and Giovanni, she’s the owner of a pub in the small town of Cold Creek. He’s a newly single dad after a not so pleasant divorce. He loves the holidays and is struggling to juggle work and his personal life. Amber wants a family of her own but due to very painful memories of her childhood she just can’t. What will happen when a handsome Italian chef finds his way into the bar? These two make my heart happy and sad at the same time. The attraction is there but can he show her what true family and holiday spirit looks like? You guys I highly recommend reading this book. I absolutely love this author and can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

Sweet small town romance
This was a beautifully written romance based in Cold Creek. Amber struggles with Christmas and Gio loves the season. The author delivers a wonderfully heartfelt story and as always makes the reader feel as though they are within the pages. I could feel the atmosphere of the town and magic of Christmas. Highly recommend.

I legit cried! A Cold Creek Christmas brought happy tears to my eyes. I’m an empath so that’s not a difficult task, however it also means that I identified with the characters on a personal level. I’ve recently been reading a lot of random books in series, and I can say I want to go back and read books 1-4 because I guarantee the author will be pulling at my heartstrings with those as well! Though this is Book 5 in the Reigning Hearts series it stands extremely strong as a stand-alone novel as well!
Amber, emotionally broken beyond repair or at least so she thinks. Till an unexpected “snowstorm” named Giovanni came into her life, with his daughter Talia. Amber dislikes Christmas, for reasons I won’t disclose because I want you to read it. lol
Giovanni seems to make it his mission to turn that around for her, not expecting to fall in love in the process.
Now is your chance to take a gander and see what happens between Amber and Giovanni, as well as any difficulties and obstacles that may present themselves along the way. While you’re doing that I’m going to go back and read book 1!

Amber is not a fan of Christmas (and that’s putting it lightly). She is known as the town Grinch because she just dislikes it all. Her ill-feelings stem from her childhood and she just does not want anything to do with the holidays.
Gio is a single dad that loves the holidays. He has just moved to town when he makes his way into Amber’s bar…and he is determined to help her find the joy of Christmas again after he hears about her past. However, Amber is not so easy to win over. Can Gio and his daughter, Talia, change mind? Or is Amber destined to hate the holidays forever?
This is such a quick read that I devoured it in one sitting. I don’t want to give a lot away because it is a great book to jump into without any spoilers! I have enjoyed past books from this author and this one is probably one of my favorites. The characters are lovable, and it is the perfect time of year to be reading a story like this!

This was a great 5 star read.
Boy the description wasn’t kidding when it said that Amber hates Christmas. You definitely find that out within the first few pages. She has a pub in a small town that celebrates Christmas every year. She opens up her ovens to a good friend that needed to finish her gingerbread house. This is where Amber meets Giovanni, and lets just say the sparks flew instantly.
Giovanni has moved to town with his daughter to take over his grandmother’s business. When he meets Amber he is instantly attracted to her. When his grandmother shares Amber’s story he can’t help but want to open his heart and home up to her.
Will they get a Christmas miracle and a HEA?
Overall I really enjoyed this read, my emotions were all over the place. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. All of the characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great holiday romance I highly suggest this book. 1-click and get started today.

Amber has a bar in town and she dislikes everything about Christmas. Her house is the only house on her block with no Christmas lights at all.
Gio, has come to town to help his nonna and to take over so she can retire. The minute he walks into Amber’s bar to pick something up for Nonna, he immediately is attracted to Amber. They end up having drinks together for the good part of the night.
Gio and Amber grow a bit closer and he tries to figure her out. Why does she dislike Christmas so much. She has a secret no one knows. Will Gio find out the truth? Also what about Gio’s secret? Not really a secret…more like he hasn’t had a chance to tell Amber about a huge part of his life.
I thought this book was perfectly written and a sweet holiday quickie for the readers.

There has not been a single book by this author that did not hit me right in the feels. I love everything about this book from cover to cover. We start out meeting Amber, our neighborhood Grinch, and don’t get a ton of backstory right away. (Which is perfect!) It’s the build-up that hooks you! Mama needs help with her gingerbread and, naturally, has chosen Ms. Anti-Christmas herself to assist with this. But Mama apparently has a grandson that is EVERYTHING Amber (and all of us) needed. Giovanni is handsome, sweet, and a complete gentleman from their first interaction down to their last. While he fails to tell Amber right away about his daughter and his rough past with her mother, everything is revealed the way it was meant to be. I made it halfway through the book before I needed the tissues. Everything from the half point forward tugs on your heartstrings in such a good way. I love the interaction between them and the revelations of both of their pasts. It was such a great story, I cannot wait for more Christmas stories this season!

Personally I love holiday stories and this is one author I always look forward to reading. These characters pulled me in from the very beginning and pulled on my heartstrings so much I felt like I was in the middle of the story. Full of Christmas cheer, romance, and fantastic characters this Christmas romance was perfect. But Amber and Giovanni really made this story perfect. While Amber is beautiful, smart, and wonderful she really just doesn’t like Christmas, while Giovanni is a handsome single dad. What happens when they both get bitten by the Christmas magic and look for a chance at romance? Will they find their happy ending in each other? You’ll have to read that wonderful holiday story to find out.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. This is book 5 of the Reigning Hearts series, but can be read as a standalone. It is a short and sweet Christmas story with all the feels. It’s about a single dad (Gio) and the town grinch (Amber). Can Amber move on from her past and finally enjoy a Christmas and let herself be happy? I will definitely be reading the rest of this series!

A relationship begins to develop between Amber and Gio. Their happiness is threatened by Amber’s past. Will she overcome her fears to have happiness?

I knew as soon as I saw that K.G Fletcher had written a Christmas romance, that it would be wonderful- and she didn’t let me down. I would love to see this made into a movie- it’s such a sweet, swoony, and steamy story that made my little heart go pitter-pat!
I love everything about the Christmas season- but my favorite part is being able to binge Christmas books and movies- and this book has zipped to the top of the list as one of my firm favourites. Finding out that it is the fifth book in the Reigning Hearts series was just icing on the cake for me.
This is everything the blurb promised it to be- a warm, fuzzy, steamy, heartfelt Holiday Romance, with a touch of Christmas magic.
Happy reading!
Thank you, K.G. Fletcher!

A Cold Creek Christmas: A single dad, small town holiday novella (Reigning Hearts #5) by K.G. Fletcher
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep her readers entertained. This book is amazing and had me hooked from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down.
Amber hasn’t ever had a Christmas that she has liked. When she meets Giovanni he opens her eyes to Christmas. The thought of him having a daughter scares her, but it doesn’t stop her. The quote I chose for Amber is: “He’s making breakfast? Of course he is. He’s a chef, Amber. Act surprised and enjoy every delicious morsel. And for God’s sake, don’t even suggest mimosas. Can’t have another repeat of last night.”
Giovanni is a single dad who is now living with his grandmother. He’s taking over her shop and needs to live up to her name. When he learns Amber’s story he vows to make it the best first Christmas she’s ever had. The quote I chose for Giovanni is: “I want to kiss you, Amber. I’ve wanted to kiss your pouty mouth all evening.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

ACK!! I loved this book so so much! I was so hoping Amber would get her own book after reading book 4 and I am beyond thrilled with her story!
Cold Creek is one of my favorite book towns ever! I seriously have wanted to live there and after this one even more so! Amber was such a scrooge but her story just broke my heart and understanding her was easy after that. I loved her already but I connected with her on a different level in this book. I missed Nicky and would have loved to have her there to experience the transformation of her best friend with her best friend.
Mama Sentieri, Gio, and Talia were so awesome, and the bond that formed felt so natural, even though this was a quick read it had every single thing you need to fall in love, transport yourself into the story, and become completely invested in this town, the characters, and the phenomenal writing of this author!
*SIGH* I love this series, this author is one of my top favorites of all time. I want this set on my shelf, really hoping she boxes it and I can purchase it in one simple click!
I recommend you read anything and everything by this author, but this series is a great place to start!
Can’t wait to read them all again back to back!

What a brilliant holiday romance Book this is, and such a fantastic addition to the series. Although this is a short story there is so much going on. You really become invested in the characters and their story. This is the sort of book you just have to read in one sitting.
This author has easily become one of my favourites. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books as they are always so enjoyable. This book is the perfect example of that. A great holiday romance this really is worth your time.

During this story, Amber Tatum transforms from someone who despises Christmas because of her rocky past to someone who ends up coming around and finding her Christmas spirit. Gio, an out-of-town baker, moves to Cold Creek with his 6-year-old daughter to take over his Nonna’s/Grandmother’s cafe. When Gio and Amber meet, conversation comes easy, and it’s like they have known each other for years. Gio knows some things about Amber thanks to his grandmother, but when he meets her, he really wants to get to know her better. This story follows their lives through the holidays, and all the good and bad. I have not read any of the other books in this series, but I can’t wait to go back and read the rest of them! If your looking forward to a good clean read, then this story is for you.

Amber has always stayed away from any celebrations, as the self-processed grinch she hates anything to do with Christmas not intentionally, but it stems from her Christmas pasts were not the greatest to celebrate.
Although she has not got a heart of ice, when a Italian chef enters the scene with his daughter things start to change and can the magic of Christmas melt her cold heart and can love shine through.
This story was heart-warming and brilliant, but to be fair anything by this author does not disappoint, the flow of the story was brilliant, and the characters interacted lovely together. I loved the fact that they are both flawed characters and that nothing will stop them from coming together. With Gio determined to make Amber enjoy Christmas but will she be able to let go and have the family and the life she craves for.
This is a great novella with full of love and Christmas spirit and a great quick read.

This is a new to me author and I must say she did not disappoint. This story is a quick read. Amber hates Christmas and much prefers Halloween. Hates how commercial it has become and just how over the top it is. Gio is a single dad and LOVES Christmas. Is it possible for the two to meet in the middle and just find a common ground to stand on and make things a go? This is a great Christmas novella. KLH

This is a fantastic Christmas read. The author writes a story that lets you feel all the emotions the characters are feeling. The story left me with the warm, fuzzies (it must have been all the gingerbread). You’re going to have to read the story to find out about that. A nice cup of hot chocolate, a warm fuzzy blanket and this book would make for a nice winters read. I loved the sweetness and the adventure of the story. The personality of the characters was such that you could relate to them. Mama just had me missing my grandma. Now get out there and buy this story. You’re going to love it. I would give it more than a 5 if I could, that’s for sure.

Though this is book five, all the books in the series can be read as standalones.
Amber has always hated the holiday season and honestly I can’t say that I blame her. She has. Pretty traumatic past and that really can do a number on you. Giovanni has been through some tough times recently but still brings the magic of the holidays for his daughter. Giovanni invites Amber to spend the holidays with his family. Will things develop between them or will Amber keep to herself?
This was such a good quick read. I was bummed it was over so soon! The characters are great and there’s lots of emotion!

A Cold Creek Christmas: A single dad, small town holiday novella is the fifth book in the Reigning Hearts Book. I won’t go into much detail because it is a quick read and I don’t want to give anything away. I have enjoyed other books in this series and was excited to get my hands on a holiday romance. The main characters Amber and Gio are a great contrast in personalities and feelings towards each other. Amber is a holiday grinch and Gio is starting over as a single dad.
The two are wonderful and had me falling in love with their story. The only downfall of this book is that I was wanting more. I always enjoy reading books from this author and look forward to reading more in the future.
