Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest rating and review.

This book was truly a joy to read - start to finish. I really enjoyed the perspectives of both Quinn and Nicole. Seeing them grow and develop from who they were as kids to who they are in their mid-30’s showed great development. Their whole friend group and their adventures were so much fun that I felt like I was out sledding, drinking hot chocolate, and laughing the whole time right along with them. The fact that they were all rooting for Quinn and Nicole’s romance led me to root for them even more. I wasn’t super thrilled with the conflict near the end, but it didn’t take anything away from the book as a whole. I even enjoyed the romance between Quinn’s dad and Nicole’s mom. Overall, I give this book 4.5 stars rounded up. I hope there is a sequel with Quinn and Nicole’s Australian adventures!

Picture-Perfect Christmas was a holiday read set in the snowy, mountain town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The beginning of the book alternates for a bit between high school times eighteen years earlier and present day, to set the background between Nicole Steele and Quinn Zelinski. Nicole eventually left town to attend a prestigious art school in Chicago while Quinn has remained in Glenwood Springs running what was originally her father's Old West photography studio. When Nicole left town she was hurt by something that Quinn did to her to a non-prom event toward the end of their high school career.

Back in present day, Nicole lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, but is back in town for a month to celebrate the holidays with her mother. She has also been hired to take photographs for Glenwood’s new tourism campaign. She eventually finds out that Quinn has also been hired to take photos for the same campaign. They haven't spoken to each other since that fateful night in high school.

I enjoyed the setting for this book, the descriptions of the photography locations that they were assigned for the campaign, and their family and friends who supported their romance. Quinn's resentment toward Nicole's artistic talents began to wear though. It truly made me question whether their relationship could weather that type of behavior in the long run. I would recommend that others give this book a read. 3.5 stars

I received an ARC from Bold Strokes Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

in high school Quinn has a huge crush on Nicole but she didn't seem to feel the same even after a brief encounter. Now years later they have both been hired to photograph their hometown during the holiday season to help boost tourism.
This isn't what the other expected when taking this assignment and the time they spend together isn't all smooth as they are tasked with taking photos of the same events but they're learning to get along as they sort through old feelings.
They find themselves spending even more time together as Nicole's mother and Quinn's father have started dated each other.
This story is a sweet romance that brings the two back together until it is clear the Quinn can't handle the outcome of the town's decision for their photo lay out.
This story in light and quick to read with some turbulence mixed in.

Thank you #NetGalley #BoldStrokesBooks for this ARC

I have some mixed feelings about this book. The premise is promising, Nicole and Quinn have a past from their high school days but that was 18 years ago and they haven’t had any contact since. They are now expected to work together on a photography gig. Once they get over the initial meeting their relationship is sweet. And then the parents get involved. With each-other. The repeat of the high school drama is predictable. And the epilogue skipped some important steps like how did Quinn got the job. The book is not bad but not something I connected with.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.


Nicole and Quinn always like each other from far they never really interact while growing up in their town until one day Nicole ask for Quinn help. They have a chance to act on their feelings but in my opinion Quinn started an argument that end them before they even start. Years later Nicole returns to town to spend more time with her mother Annette and she always said if a job open up she’s take it because she’s wants to move back home. Quinn stayed in town and is shock when she learns she be working with Nicole on tourism project as they both work together theirs attraction is still there. Will Nicole and Quinn workout this time and won’t let past hurt interfere. I enjoy this read I like Nicole relationship with her mom and the friendships she forms with Quinn friends and although Quinn annoy me with her resentment towards Nicole which I find uncalled for I like her character.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me this book in exchange for an honest review! This was a nice quick read, and I loved the Christmas vibes. I read this entire thing in one morning, and *that* one scene was a little bit of a jump scare because I was on the bus but like whatever at least it wasn't the subway.
So, things I liked. Quinn and Nicole were cute together, and I liked the amount of fluff there was. It was a very cozy, fun, wintery read, and the writing is pretty good! I thought Nicole and her mom's relationship was cute too.
Things I didn't like. THE STORYLINE WITH THE PARENTS. WHY. I HATED IT. And what made it worse was the fact that Nicole acknowledged she and Quinn would be like sisters if their parents got together! WHY??????? Also, Quinn was so annoying in both the big conflicts (past and present). I was hoping that the conflict would be something different, not just the past repeated.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this, and I could not put the book down. I read this all in basically one go. It was cute, and while there were small parts I didn't enjoy, on the whole, I really liked this book, and I would definitely recommend it!
