Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for the ARC!

Grumpy meets Sunshine in this hilarious festive romcom that will have you wishing for a HEA. Christmas vibes were on point. Hallmark movie-esque. Predictable. A little spice. I wasn’t overly excited while reading this, and it fell kind of flat for me. If you are looking for a quick read to put you in the holiday spirit, this will do.

Found this quite difficult to get into and felt that the characters we're not as well developed as I would have liked. I ended up not finishing this book. Not for me.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute little Christmas romance. Sutton, the main character, hates Christmas. She winds up in a crazy situation and stays with widower Gus, taking care of his two children who are on Christmas break in exchange for a place to stay. But, Gus is the king of Christmas and even owns a Christmas store in town. But, things aren't always what they appear to be on surface.

I enjoyed this story and the characters. The ending wasn't what I expected it would be for a Christmas romance.

There is just something about a big ol’ grump during the holidays. This book is the perfect cozy romance with some good spice. You should definitely read this book if you’re into grinches and scrooges. Highly recommend

This book unfortunately was not my favorite. I think it fell a little flat and the main character just really got under my skin. I enjoyed all the Christmas atmosphere, but the story felt really rushed. The relationship between Sutton and Gus lacked some of the chemistry that I love seeing in books like this. Overall, it was okay but I don’t see myself picking it up again.

What an adorable holiday read! Confessions of a Christmasholic is exactly what the Hallmark Channel watcher needs. Grab your coffee and snuggle up with this wonderful seasonal book.

This was a fun light read during the holiday season. I love the humor within the book, it’s what kept me coming back to read. I didn’t particularly like how quickly they got together, just makes it seem a little unrealistic. I also would’ve enjoyed learning more about the side characters. Overall, it was a a good light cozy Christmas read for those looking for a seasonal romcom.

I love a good charming Christmas book or movie, and this book definitely hit the spot right before the holidays for me! The main character is relatable, flawed, and grows as the book goes on, and I really enjoyed the journey she goes on in this story.

A fun and light read for the holidays with some funny parts and a cosy setting. But it somehow felt both long and too quick at the same time? The romance itself happened pretty quickly and felt like it came out of the blue, but the story itself felt pretty long. The side characters were also pretty stereotypical and were almost forced into the story to be stock characters. But perhaps my most flawed character was the male MC himself who seemed to have reverse character development, where he got really annoying and unsupportive by the end. It's still a decent Christmas read if you're looking for something light during the holidays.

Thanks NetGalley for the eARC.

This small town holiday romance was sweet, a little on the spicy side, humorous and endearing. It was the epitome of a Christmas Hallmark movie and has all the Christmas tropes, themes and reasons why we love Christmas time in the very first chapter.

I had a really hard time with this book. The writing wasn’t my favorite, and the characters weren’t very likable or relatable. Overall, it wasn’t for me.

A Christmas vision to be sure, but I wasn’t able to get into the Novel and set it down midway. In part to the issues with chemistry between Gus and Sutton but more than likely due to my own personal issues and challenges this holiday season. My apologies to NetGalley and the publishers.

Confessions of a Christmasholic is funny, unorthodox, and completely bizarre (in a good way).

After I finished this book, I had to let it marinate in my head before I could put my thoughts into a semi-coherent state.

Gus is a smokin’ hot single dad who secretly hates Christmas but hides the guise under false smiles and holiday cheer while continuing to run the local Christmas shop started by his wife before her passing. He continues the work because that’s what the town expects of him, despite his unhappiness.

Sutton is on holiday alone traveling across Europe. Her friend was supposed to be traveling with Sutton but she bailed on her. Her friend also left Sutton destitute when she asked to borrow money from Sutton and made excuses on why she can’t pay Sutton back. So now Sutton is penniless in a small town somewhere in England, and completely drunk.

When Sutton stumbles upon a home with a fully decorated lawn of Christmas, she’s had just about enough of this holiday and starts going to town tearing up this person’s decorations. In her drunken rampage through the holiday lights, she hears a guy talking to, and punching a Santa inflatable. Wanting a shot at the title, Sutton makes her presence known by tripping before she can get to Santa, and the hot guy. Hilarity definitely ensues.

The story is wild, the characters are loveable and endearing, and the plot is entertaining. If you need a pick-me-up to get you through the holidays, Confessions of a Christmasholic has got what you need!

Perfect for the holiday season although not quite a fit for me as I couldn't connect with the main character. I’d still suggest it for a Christmas romance read.

Enjoyable Christmas story with mild spice. I appreciated the plot addition of how difficult it is to end relationships with friends when you’ve outgrown the relationship. Thank you Net Galley & to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A cute, spicy, Christmas read with great characters! Loved it. Perfect for the holiday season. 5 stars.

I started this out thinking it would be a sweet, funny Christmas rom-com. However, I couldn’t connect with the main character, her situation, or her approach to the world. This might be a fun escape during the holidays for some, but unfortunately wasn’t a fit for me.

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

I can’t believe it took me a week to finish this book. A 300-page romance book should only take me 4 days max to finish. You know, I see the vision, I see what the author was trying to do, it was just lacking… everything. The most dissapointing part was Gus and Sutton’s chemistry. It was almost nonexistent. Which was sad because they had so much potential. Their relationship felt rushed and it came out of nowhere. Like all of the sudden they’re hot for each other. Where did that come from??? The pacing wasn’t much better either. It only picked up around 60% of the book. I’ve been wanting to DNF it but I refuse to DNF a book.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

This was a cute Christmas book in theory, but Sutton was so dumb and unlikeable, I couldn’t enjoy it. Layla is trash and for some reason she can’t get that. Gus is a great male lead, but Sutton needed to either just be the nanny or just be a house guest. It made the premise stupid because she didn’t even like kids, so why in the world would she want to nanny!?

I started off getting confused reading this book. I feel like it jumped around a lot and wasn’t the easy to read Christmas book that I was looking for. It did have a good story overall but was slow to get there.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to honestly review .
