Merry Christmas Baby by Katie Reus (KR Press, January 2016)
Merry Christmas Baby was a really cute story involving Nora and Jackson. It's the first in the O'Connor Family Series. I reviewed the fourth book last week. I enjoyed this one. I loved that Jackson and Nora were friends first. Despite getting cold feet, Jackson realized quickly that Nora was it for him and begs for a second chance. I found myself rooting tor the couple.
I never felt like this one was rushed as I often do in novellas. They had a good amount of friendship behind them before making the leap to lovers. Aside from the romance, Nora's relationship with her sister was endearing. It's a great short story to help get you in the mood for the upcoming holidays. I definitely want to read the rest of the books in the series.
A White Hot Christmas by Rene Webb (CreateSpace September 2016)
White Hot Christmas is a short novella about a love at first sight relationship. Although, I would probably call it more of a lust at first sight romance. I didn't really care for this one. The relationship happened WAY too fast for me. June and Tom went from having a rude encounter to saying hi the next day to making out in a dressing room later that afternoon. Then onto sex that night with Tom topping it off by asking her to move in with him when they get back to Orlando.
I do sometimes enjoy whirlwind romances, but this one was a bit over the top. I felt like Tom got really possessive of June really quickly. How do you agree to move in with someone you just met? The couple did have chemistry, but I didn't feel like I got to know them at all. It's a quick read, but it just wasn't for me.
