My thoughts: 🎃 Pages 63-85 Pumpkin Spice and Pour-Overs Bonus Epilogue EXCLUSIVE! Three Weeks Later LEO ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This story starts 3 weeks after the book ends, and I saw a pattern from the last book. I'm not sure why people who are already sleeping together and have a preexisting relationship are so anxious on dates, but that seems to be her thing. It then jumps 11 months later, and all of the characters from this series are present, so I'm glad I read all of the books before tackling the epilogues. I did roll my eyes at the weeping penis, it's just not sexy and makes me think of discharge.
🍎 Pages 157-170 Apple Cider and Subterfuge Bonus Epilogue EXCLUSIVE! Two Weeks Later BRYNN ⭐️⭐️- I didn't like this one at all. It felt like a lot of double talk repetitive dialogue.
🫕Pages 265-277 Hot Cocoa and Mistletoe Bonus Epilogue EXCLUSIVE! Six Weeks Later BENNETT⭐️½ - This was a dud for me, it didn't feel like much happened.
🍁 Pages 393-415 Snowed In & Snuggle Weather Bonus Epilogue Six Months Later JOSIE ⭐️⭐️½- The best friend was annoying in the book so I wasn't feeling all the husband(s) and wife(s). It wasn’t bad I just prefer names.

So, I already read and reviewed these novellas and only picked this up for exclusive epilogues, which for the most part weren't needed. Each one features the next step in the relationship and sex, the first one was the best one they quickly became formulaic. My rating was the average between the average of the novellas, 3.65, and the average of the epilogues 2.25 so 3 stars which is probably what this book would have gotten if I read the collection instead of the books.

Recommend to others: Maybe I found this series to be up and down but not bad overall.

Only One Cozy Bed de Elise Kennedy Colección : FOUR COZY & SPICY NOVELLAS

Argumento:

¡Esta colección general de 4 novelas cortas publicadas anteriormente ahora está disponible por primera vez en edición de bolsillo y agrupadas como un libro electrónico!

EXCLUSIVO: ¡También incluye nuevos epílogos adicionales EXCLUSIVOS para las 4 novelas!

Esta colección general de novelas cortas picantes y acogedoras incluye:

PUMPKIN SPICE & POUR-OVERS

Becca Habar está decidida a conseguir el trabajo de sus sueños: administrar una librería en Benning Falls, Vermont. ¿Lo único que se interpone en su camino? Un tren lleno de baches, sin lugar donde quedarse y un extraño estudioso, amable y de hombros anchos decidido a conseguir el trabajo primero.

APPLE CIDER & SUBTERFUGE

Alex y Brynn son agentes encubiertos en un pequeño y acogedor pueblo obsesionado con la sidra de manzana. ¿Su tapadera? Recién casados enamorados. ¿La única regla? Mantenga su relación estrictamente comercial y estrictamente falsa.

HOT COCOA & MISTLETOE

Peri Bell planea una Navidad perfecta en su cabaña en el norte del estado hasta que su copropietario, severo y estúpidamente guapo, aparece inesperadamente. Una extraña tormenta de nieve durante la noche los tiene atrapados juntos hasta Navidad. ¿Se derretirá la nieve con el tiempo o Peri quedará atrapada con su enemigo número uno/su enamoramiento secreto?

SNOWED IN & SNUGGLE WEATHER

Max y Josie han sido mejores amigos desde cuarto grado, pero cuando neva durante la noche y se corta la luz, su relación de "solo amigos" se pone a prueba cuando se acurrucan en busca de calor.



Mi humilde opinión:

🍁Pumpkin Spice & Pour-Overs: Pueblo pequeño/proximidad forzada/atracción instantánea.

La historia de amor de Leo y Becca es adorable. Los dos me parecieron una pareja apasionada y súper romántica. Me encantó su encuentro en el tren en donde comparten la misma cabina. Ella no imagina es que el sexy nerd estará aplicando para el mismo puesto de trabajo en la librería de sus sueños.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

🍎Apple Cider & Subterfuge:

Está historia corta fue muy dulce y no me refiero a la sidra en el festival de otoño en el pueblo!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

☃️Hot Cocoa & Mistletoe:

Está fue una lectura rápida que me dio todas las vibras navideñas y un divertido romance de enemigos a amantes.
⭐⭐⭐

❄️Snowed in & snuggle weather:

Una cosa que me gustan de los héroes de EK es que son súper lindos y atentos pero a la vez alfas y atrevidos. Josie tenía talla grande y era un tanto insegura pero Max la ayudó a no esconderse y le mostró lo hermosa que era para él.
⭐⭐⭐

ADORÉ Only One Cozy Bed ♥️ es una colección con romances contemporáneos para sentirse bien, cada historia linda y picante, divertida y romántica. Todas suceden en un pueblo pequeño nevado, cabañas y chimeneas acogedoras. Amigos que se enamoran, enemigos que se enamoran, compañeros de trabajo que fingen estar casados que se enamoran, proximidad forzada y solo una cama para compartir.

Una vez que comencé a leer me transporté a Benning Falls, Vermont con estos personajes y ya no me quise ir. Quiero comprar libros en la librería de Becca, ir al festival de sidra con Alex y Brynn, comer unos panqueques con el jarabe de arce de la granja de Max y beber el chocolate caliente de Peri. Sin dudas una de las series que más disfruté este año!

[Lauren Carroll · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not normally a fan of anything too instant lovey, which is why I tend to stay away from novellas but this was overall pretty great. It was the perfect amount of plot to spice ratio in the short stories and it didn't feel overly cheesy. The only one that I struggled to get through was "Hot Cocoa & Mistletoe" and that was honestly because I found Peri, the FMC, to be very annoying and immature - I honestly wanted to skip through the rest of the story halfway through because of her. Overall though, these wee fun & quick reads.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved all of these novellas! Perfect spicy stories

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Already read the novellas, the epilogues were a nice, spicy addition!

[sophandherbooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

So far my favorite novella series!

⭐️3.5

[Miranda Mesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Who doesn't need some easy reading smut every once in awhile

[Sydney Park · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute 4 fall/winter novellas! Pumpkin Spice & Pour-Overs was my favorite but Cocoa & Mistletoe and Snowed In and Snuggle Weather were tied for second.

[Morgan · Rating 5 out of 5]

For the first book I have experienced Elise Kennedy...... what the ever living fantasy did I sign up for?! If i could? I would give it at least a 6... maybe a 7.5 star!

Yes the novellas were short and I wish i had more but the amount I did get? Totally worth it. Completely worth it. I really do want to get an actual EK book and get the full experience just because if Elise can make me giggle, gasp as if I'm listening to old gossip, hide my smile behind my book? As just 4 short stories? Oh yeah, I need full book to get the true appreciation of this author!!
