The Prince Who Stole Christmas by Leslie Kelly
Between juggling her candy shop and cleaning up her ne'er-do-well brother's messes, Claire Hoffman isn’t exactly looking for love. But when her handsome and mysterious tenant, Phil, starts renting the apartment above her shop, sparks start flying fast. He’s funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous... but he’s also hiding something big.
As Claire lets her guard down, the truth comes out—Phil is not just an ordinary guy. He’s actually a prince on borrowed time. What follows is a delightful, magical story about choosing love when the odds (and royal obligations) are stacked against you.
My Thoughts:
This story was such a cute, steamy holiday escape. I loved the playful banter between Claire and Phil—their chemistry was instant but believable. It’s the kind of lighthearted romance that feels like a Hallmark movie... if Hallmark allowed a little more heat. The royal twist was whimsical without being cheesy, and it added a layer of tension that kept me turning the pages. Sweet, spicy, and just the right amount of festive magic!
My True Love Gave to Me by Jennifer LaBrecque
Set in the quirky town of Good Riddance, Alaska, this story reunites Knox and Gertie—former best friends whose lives drifted apart. Years ago, Knox walked away, chasing something that ultimately left him feeling empty. Now, back in town for the Chrismoose Festival, a snowstorm strands them together in a cozy little cabin.
What starts as awkward quickly turns into something much steamier. Old feelings bubble to the surface, and suddenly that line between friends and lovers isn’t so clear anymore. But can Gertie trust Knox with her heart again?
My Thoughts:
This was everything I love in a snowed-in, second-chance romance. The tension between Knox and Gertie was off-the-charts, and watching them rediscover each other made me grin like crazy. I laughed out loud more than once (the Chrismoose Festival is hilarious), and the steam level? 🔥 Let’s just say it delivered! This story has heart, humor, and the kind of heat that melts more than just snow.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for something fun, flirty, and festive, this holiday duet is perfect. Both stories serve up sweet small-town charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and plenty of spicy romance. It’s like getting two Hallmark movies... but with a whole lot more steam. Perfect for your winter TBR!
