One typo, and a boy and girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met?

This story was exactly what I needed to experience! I’ve always loved the concept of an email based romance and this executed it so well in such little words!

When Everleigh Dangerfield’s baking disaster necessitates a call to 911, firefighter Griffin Brantley douses the flames in the kitchen, but the ones he stokes in Everleigh are an entirely different story. Unfortunately, Everleigh’s only visiting and doesn’t do casual hookups, no matter how smoldering the temptation. But Everleigh’s holiday mishaps have just begun. And Griffin is seemingly always on call. If Everleigh is game for a change of plans, he can give her the merriest Christmas of her life.

Perfect little holiday story!
Reviewed: 12-02-24
This was such a perfect little sweet holiday novella!
The setting felt actually Christmasy, with each different aspect of the storyline relating to something Christmasy.
I loved the main characters! Despite having so little time with them I feel like I had already read multiple different chapters before the novella started.
Also loved that we got so many side characters without it feeling all muddled and confusing but we still got a good sense of each one and their impact in the mcs’ lives.
I’m gonna have to pick up some more of Bellefleur’s books because I definitely enjoyed her writing style!

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,502
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

I absolutely adored this little novella!! I need it as a full novel yesterday omg
Chapter two had my giggling and kicking my feet it was everything to me. I love a good confession ugh
I love how even in such a short amount of time, Ali got me to experience so many different emotions because of just two characters. Absolutely love her writing and the effect it has.

Evie Crowe is starting over in a strange town with her newborn, and men are the furthest thing from her mind. If only the quiet, hulking farmer, Luke Ward, would stop coming into the thrift shop and piquing her reluctant interest. Evie wants to stay single all the way—she can’t trust anything more than friends-with-holiday-benefits. But Luke is in it for the long haul. He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

2.5/5⭐️
This was a lot omg… never read a Tessa Bailey book before but I had heard good things about them so I was excited to get to this one in the collection and lordy was it something
Truthfully this is just a smut holiday novella, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a lot of cringy lines within the smut that had me put off by it.
The premise of the story was really interesting but Luke going right into describing his sexual fantasies within about a min of his chapter had me reeling.
Even though it’s a very short novella, I wish we had gotten more plot and less cringy sex lines

All Evie Cruz wants for Christmas is a nap. And maybe some ornaments for her naked Christmas tree. And while she’s making a list, she wouldn’t mind unwrapping her sexy upstairs neighbor like a present. Luckily, the building’s Santa-themed party and a surprise sprig of mistletoe give her just the opening she needs to make all her wishes come true.

Adored this novella!! Everything about this hit just right for me!
My only real gripe with this story is that I wish we maybe got a couple more pages to talk about more interactions that showed off their chemistry. I believe they have chemistry and felt it, but I just wish we got some more shown in the story.
Both characters are easy to love in such a short amount of time and their story is easy to follow, which makes for the perfect short novella. The premise of the story is also super fun and something I want to read as a full novel by Alexis!
