But I just wanted to share with you all Christmas contemporary romance books that I read if you’re still in the mood for reading some cute Christmas romance books by the best contemporary romance authors then definitely check these ones out.
I really enjoyed these romance books for Winter Holiday so stick with my reviews for these great festive holiday reads.
These are the top 15 Christmas contemporary romance books you should read for the winter holiday season of 2022.
1. Fire Night: A Devil’s Night Holiday Novella
Fire Night: A Devil’s Night Holiday Novella by Penelope Douglas
The first book that kicked off my holiday romance reading was actually ‘fire night’ by Penelope Douglas. This one I honestly did not know it was gonna be a holiday-themed kind of novella it is a book in the devil’s night series
so this one you can’t really read until you’ve already read all four books in the series but I’m a huge Penelope Douglas fan I will read anything and everything from her.
I had so much fun being back in the devil’s night world with Michael kai Damon and will this novella is told from all four of the guys’ points of view plus a bonus point of view for the epilogue but this one is a holiday novella, winter novella because fire night is a holiday celebrating the yuletide the winter solstice
it’s a new holiday that all four of our couples have started celebrating ever since they started their families so it’s like another tradition in addition to devil’s night we’re back in thunder bay it’s all snowy and wintry.
it’s a fairly long novella I don’t really think Penelope Douglas can ever write anything short which I love her for but it’s not devil’s night without some action and suspense which there is a little bit of towards the end of this novella so I gave fire night four stars
I just loved being back with all these characters seeing how they are grown up as parents and seeing all their kids there are so so many kids and the end does leave you wanting more especially from that epilogue which is told from a certain character’s point of view.
I don’t know if I’d want an entire whole series about second-generation kids there are certain characters that I would love stories for like madden ethos and Octavia madden kind banks’ son ethos is Michael Enrique’s daughter and Octavia Damon and winter’s daughter
so those three I would love stories just because they’re so intriguing to me but I’m just so happy Penelope Douglas gave us this novella and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us.
2. Forever Wild: A Novella
Forever Wild: A Novella (The Simple Wild) by K. A. Tucker
Next, another longish Christmas holiday novella that I read which is also part of a series that I love is ‘forever wild’ by k.a tucker this is part of the simple wild series book so it’s set after wild heart I love the simple wild it’s one of my favorite books I also enjoyed the sequel wild at heart.
I loved this novella I gave ‘forever wild’ five stars I just love this novella I loved this ending to Kala and jonah’s story I do believe this is the actual ending for their story though we will be getting more books set in Alaska but just about different characters a different couple but in this novella, it is Christmas in Alaska jonah’s family
and callous family are all flying up to their Alaskan home to celebrate Christmas and jonah and Kala are still engaged we get to see how happy and in love jonah and Keller how wonderful a couple they’ve become after all that they went through they are so cute and adorable in this novella.
But I was just so happy seeing how happy they were together there’s some family drama going on that Kala and jonah are trying to decide whether they should get married immediately or not it was all just a perfect conclusion to their story it’s a very bittersweet ending I mean I loved it but I also I’m super sad that this is the end for Kala and jonah
but we will get to see them some more in later books because k tucker is writing some more books set in Alaska about some side characters we were introduced to in the series and I’m so so happy about that I also read some other novellas some shorter novellas.
3. Making Merry
Making Merry by Kerrigan Byrne
This one is ‘Making Merry’ by Kerrigan Byrne this one is actually part of the good girl series but I haven’t read it yet so I didn’t really see the connection to anything and I read fine as a standalone this one I’m giving it three and a half stars it’s very very close to a four-star read but I just wanted a little bit more from it it is a historical romance with a paranormal twist because one of our main characters the hero is a ghost I’ve read a couple of ghost romances in the past and loved them.
So I was so so excited to see Kerrigan burn writing one Vanessa is our heroine she’s pretty much been exiled by her family and currently, she’s been traveling through the Scottish highlands but then a blizzard shows up she gets stuck at an old inn and that’s where she meets our ghost hero Jonathan.
Jonathan is actually British like Vanessa he’s not Scottish unfortunately but he did die during the battle of Kaladin which I only know because of outlander he was an earl and he does have a descendant that Vanessa actually met at one time and the two of them looked very very similar you can kind of see how this ghost romance will play out pretty much from the beginning of the book.
But I just really enjoyed Vanessa and Jonathan the romance is very quick lots of chemistry going on between them Jonathan luckily can take on a more physical form because of the day that Vanessa arrives so they can touch each other and they do.
I really like this novella I liked how Jonathan and Vanessa met and fell in love but I kind of wanted a little bit more towards the end this miracle happens that you do expect but I kind of wanted it to be a little bit more to it things wrapped up a little bit too quickly neatly for me but I mean it is a novella so you can’t really expect that much still it was a good novella really great for Christmas lots of winter vibes and if you love Kerrigan burn definitely read this one.
4. A Touch of Sugar
A Touch of Sugar by Christina C. Jones
The next novella that I read was ‘A Touch of Sugar’ by Christina C. Jones this is actually the third novella in a series I haven’t read the other two but I knew this one was the Christmas novella.
I like this one I gave it three stars it’s more like the beginnings of a romance than an actual romance but it was a sweet novella we do have the hole stuck in a cabin together during a snowstorm trope true the heroine is feeling the Christmas blues because her boyfriend, her late boyfriend actually passed away during Christmas this year she decides to drive out to the forest and chop down her own tree for Christmas she’s always wanted a real-life tree and that’s what she’s gonna get.
Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to chop down her own tree and she ends up finding a tree that’s on land that belongs to our hero Xavier they actually know each other already he ends up saving her and taking her back to his cabin because of a snowstorm is coming in the two of them have always kind of had their eye on each other but nothing ever really was explored because they were with other people but now they’re stuck together in this cabin they need to stick together in bed for warmth.
It’s a good novella that sets up their romance but doesn’t really explore the actual romance it’s a quick short novella we have characters who are really fun and have great chemistry together Zave does act hot and cold a bit too much but still, it was a good read I really enjoyed Pru and save together.
5. The Office Party
The Office Party (Holiday Homecoming Book 1) by Whitney G.
Next up I read ‘The Office Party’ by Whitney G. This was fun, it was pretty much what I expected from a holiday romance from Whitney G.
I was actually in the middle of reading my holiday and I was so so excited but if you can tell from this title it is an office romance it’s a boss-employee romance we have a jerk hero who is the CEO of the company and a heroine who likes to make fun of the boss along with her co-workers and is so tired of him Garrett
and savannah have been circling each other for years there’s always been some good tension between them anytime they’re together they always end up pushing each other’s buttons every year for Christmas.
The company has the secret Santa tradition and this year savannah gets Garrett the big boss she accidentally gives him the vibrator that her sister gifted him and that’s when things start to come together for the romance this one was quick and short again there’s not much to it it is still very entertaining if you like characters with lots of banter you’ll enjoy this one
I do wish we get a little bit more time exploring these two in their story but if you have read Whitney g’s other novellas and you do know what to expect it was still fun and it definitely hit the spot for a short and steamy Christmas novella.
