Holiday Weddings follows 2 parallel love stories. Gwen and Caleb from Holiday Star prepare for a Christmas Eve wedding. Meanwhile, Gwen's best friend Jenny and Calebs bodyguard are embarking on their own love journey. The author blends humor with emotion and suspense.

***Five Stars***

Even though we did have HEA in Holiday Star we get even more in Holiday Wedding. This one follows not just Gwen and Caleb on their journey to the wedding but also Jenny (Gwen's BFF) and Dean (Caleb's bodyguard).

Gwen and Caleb have set the date and are so excited to get to their wedding. Secrets are revealed though, in the form of a stalker and stalking website. Who is running the site and how unhinged are they? Everyone is keeping the wedding date and details under wraps but will the secret keep until they reach the altar? Will a snowstorm ruin everything? How about a kidnapping? WHO is the stalker?!

Jenny and Caleb get snowed in together and feelings are realized but of course it isn't that easy. Caleb has demons and PTSD from his military time. Can they work through it and find trust in each other?

I enjoyed this one a lot! It was engaging throughout. I highly recommend this one. It CAN be read as a standalone but why would you?!

I loved the narrators, they did a great job!

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op, and the author for the opportunity to read and review this audio version of Holiday Wedding.

I was quite surprisingly hooked from Page one of Holiday Wedding! This book was a quick, easy read and had me giggling and kicking my feet throughout! It is festive and perfect for the Holiday season. I’ll definitely be ordering a physical copy and doing a reread around Christmastime this year!

Thank you to Dr. Melissa Dymond and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the eARC in exchange for my honest review

This was my first SPICY holiday ever, and it definitely took the cake. No pun intended.

Holiday Wedding ★★★★☆ on the spice. 3 stars overall.. It was the perfect mix of cozy romance and suspense. Gwen and Caleb are planning their wedding, but between a blizzard and a stalker, things get chaotic fast. Meanwhile, Gwen’s best friend Jenny has her own slow-burn romance with Caleb’s grumpy bodyguard. The dual perspectives kept things fun, and the holiday vibes made it extra charming. If you love romance with a little mystery, this one’s a great festive read!

Absolutely fantastic book from start to finish!

Beautifully written and I was hooked !!

Cute read !!

This book was cute time, while it didn’t do anything new but it did do the standards very well. Definitely worth checking out.

Holiday Wedding was so fun! I loved multiple POV and seeing relationships develop! I love a Christmas book with high stakes like this one!

Loved cozing up and reading this book during the holidays. It was a great mix between romance, suspense and holiday cheer. Can’t wait to read more of Melissa’s books.

Look no further for the perfect suspenseful holiday read fellow book babes, Melissa has done it once again! I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa when I joined her street team for Paging Dr. Hart and l'm so grateful that I stayed on for Holiday Wedding. I'm a forever member of her street teams, she can never get rid of me now. Not only is she an amazing person, her books are the best and always deliver on beautifully written characters, spice, humor, suspense, playful banter, and sweetness! And if spice isn't your thing? No worries, all of Melissa's books come in both sweet AND spicy versions so everyone can read and enjoy!

Caleb and Gwen were so lovable and even though I didn't read Holiday Star (the first book), I still felt so connected to them both. Caleb is a huge celebrity from New York who has thousands of adoring fans. He's a musician, actor, and model who has been in the spotlight practically his entire life, so he's no stranger to fame and everything it brings. Gwen on the other hand has not been acquainted with the celebrity life. She's a doctor from California who cares deeply about her career and helping those in need. Even though both Caleb and Gwen come from completely different lives and face immense challenges and obstacles (cue the crazy stalkers, rude "fans", crazy weather, and wedding preparations), their love for each other comes first always.

And Jenny and Dean...JENNY AND DEAN! These two had my heart. Watching the candy loving sunshine journalist that is Jenny melt the icy exterior of broody grumpy bodyguard Dean was simply everything. Plus the tension and spice between these two?? Yes please! I adored getting to know both of them individually and eventually as a couple.

The holiday magic, suspense, sweetness, and spiciness is fully delivering here!

Such a cute and fun holiday read!! Melissa's and incredible person and an amazing writer and I love her books!
They're the perfect mix of romance, suspense, sweetness, spiciness, fun, humor and heartbreak.
The way she writes her characters, so real and raw!! Love it and also hate some stuff Jenny and Dean had to go through🥺
I hadn't read the first book of the series prior to this one but i'll definitely be doing it soon!!

Thank you Melissa for the ARC!

The perfect mix of romance, mystery, and Christmas spirit ❤️🎄

I’m usually not one for romance novels, but Dr. Melissa Dymond does such a good job of combining romance with just a touch of that thriller vibe 🤌🏻

I love dual POVs and this one was fun switching back and forth between the FMCs. We are already familiar with Gwen, so it’s easy to slip back into her perspective. But then we also get a spicy new POV with Jenny and I thought the balance between them was just right.

This book is a sequel to Holiday Star, and you definitely benefit from having read it with character backstories, but it works well as a stand alone too!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Dr. Melissa Dymond for this ARC!

What a GREAT holiday romance!

I was especially grateful that Dr. Melissa Dymond offers this book in both spicy/sweet & clean versions. I find this especially respectful to all kinds of readers and each individual person's likes.

The dual POV gave this story depth and I enjoyed both plot lines. The chemistry and banter was ON POINT!

What a great book to grab and cozy up with! Will definitely be reading more from this author!

I only made it a few chapters in but it just wasn't my vibe. I did enjoy how the author was very descriptive and the spice was definitely spicy. I'll probably try to give it another reread in a month or so to see if I have a different opinion!

Spicy holiday fun with a little thriller thrown in. Perfect for fans who are looking for a story about the holidays, weddings, or different points of view. Take a break from your holiday to-do list and enjoy this book with your favorite beverage.

I haven't read the first book in the series but I don't think it impacted on this story at all.

I would have preferred to a dual POV from Jenny and Dean's perspectives as opposed to Jenny and Gwen's as I was more invested in Jenny and Dean. Gwen already had her story and her happy ever after so it didn't seem necessary to then have more of it in this book as well.

I'm looking forward to book 3 with Helen and Teddy. I think it'll be a bit more distanced from Gwen and Caleb with them living in New York and Teddy in LA.

I think the story really only needed on disaster - either the snowstorm or the kidnapping alongside the stalker but it didn't really need both. It just felt like too much all at once after things progressing fairly steadily until that point. I think more should have happened with Jenny's boss (and ex) Eddie after they realised he'd stolen information from her phone.

It was a cute Christmas story though and the spice was a little on the lighter side for me personally, but for those that don't enjoy spice there is a closed door version as well.

Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Holiday Wedding is a great follow up to the characters we met in Holiday Star. Told through the POVs of Gwen and Jenny we get to enjoy 2 different stages of romance. The continuation of Gwen's romance with Caleb in the days leading to their Christmas Eve wedding and Jenny's developing romance with Caleb's bodyguard Dean.
It's not often with romance novels that you get to see what happens after the initial happy ending so I love that we get to see Gwen and Caleb develop further.
With a bit of spice and suspense the story had enough to keep me engaged to see what would happen to the characters next. I also love the foreshadowing for our next couple.

I always love a good rom-com, especially a feel good story during the holidays! Gwen and Caleb are AMAZING! Oh, and did I mention Dean and Jenny?? MORE PLEASE!
Thank you Netgalley and Melissa Dymond for the ARC

It had everything I love in a romance—great chemistry, engaging characters, and just the right amount of tension—without feeling too predictable. The added bit of suspense kept me hooked, and the spice was perfectly balanced. I had such a great time reading it and can't wait to check out more from this author!

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5 stars)

Holiday Wedding had all the right ingredients for a great holiday romance—grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and even a bit of suspense to shake things up. The dual POV gave us both Gwen’s wedding chaos (complete with a stalker—because why not?) and Jenny’s unexpected romance with Dean, the grumpy bodyguard who has been holding a grudge against her for years. Jenny and Dean totally stole the show for me. Their banter, tension, and chemistry were so good, and the “one bed” and “snowed in” tropes delivered exactly what I wanted.

That said, the way the story jumped between Gwen’s and Jenny’s perspectives felt a little disruptive. Just when I was getting into one couple’s story, it would switch, making it harder to stay fully invested in both. I also wished the balance between the romance and suspense was a little smoother—some parts felt rushed while others dragged a bit.

Even with those little issues, I still enjoyed this one. The holiday vibes were on point, and I love that the author offers both a spicy and sweet version so readers can choose what works for them. While this wasn’t a perfect read for me, I’d definitely pick up more from Dr. Melissa Dymond in the future. She’s got a great voice for romance, and I’m excited to see what she writes next!

Oh how happy I was to be reunited with Gwen and Caleb. I loved Holiday Star so I already knew I’d love this book too.

It draws you in right from the start, Melissa Dymond has such a natural and engaging flow to her writing. Loved the additional insight into Dean and Jenny as characters. The multiple POVs between 4 characters was refreshing and kept a level of intrigue.

There were some stories/side characters I felt that were not necessarily needed and distracted away a bit from the main plot line, potentially more attention could have been given to Jenny and Dean’s story if these were not included.

The final part of the book I was absolutely hooked, there was so much thrill and excitement I couldn’t put the book down.
This was a lovely, cheerful, Christmas themed romance and I’d definitely recommend. It is written as a standalone however I would suggest reading Holiday Star before this book as a lot more will make sense and will make the overall reading experience more enjoyable.
