Hating You For Christmas
Sometimes, Christmas Traditions Don't Go According to Plan...
Shelby Grant looks forward to her college group's annual Christmas trip to the rustic cabins at Lake of the Ozark State Park, even when it means being forced to spend a few nights around her frenemy, Julian Hart. When a massive winter storm hits Missouri, the rest of the crew cancels last minute, leaving Shelby and Julian the only two who make it to the cabin before the storm shuts down all the roads.
Stranded by themselves until roads are clear enough to drive on, will these two push past their dislike or will they be stuck hating each other for Christmas?

Liz Zerkel does it again!
I enjoyed the heck out of this Christmas romance novella. It was sweet and spicy and a lovely way to start off the holiday reading season. If you like long-time frenemies turned lovers, tons of cozy winter vibes, and a fun, quick read, you can't go wrong with this novella.

Julian & Shelby were part of a friend group that had been meeting yearly for a winter camping trip for the last decade. On this year they were the only ones to make it to the cabin safely due to a big snow storm. They were usually the two at each others throats annoying each other. The forced proximity forced them to talk to each other and get to know each other.
It was fun and I had a good time reading. It’s one of those stories where I maybe needed a little more building or something. Easily bingeable in a couple hours.

Hating You for Christmas was exactly what I wanted in a holiday romance book: it’s short, spicy and has a HEA!
I’m glad the author didn’t drag the book out needlessly. The focus of the book is the romance between two frenemies falling in love over a weekend and the length of the book is the right length for that. Even though it’s under 200 pages there are plenty of spicy scenes! Our two main characters have years of pent up sexual frustration / desire for one another that they can finally release!

It took me a minute to get into this book, but it was genuinely really good once I sat down and made myself read it.
Shelby and Julian are such a cute couple and once they got through their ‘issues’ with each other, they really turned up the heat in their cold cabin.

This book was hilarious. It had me laughing so hard my husband actually turned to me and asked me if I was ok.
“Please don’t die or get seriously injured because it sounds so annoying to deal with the roads shut down. I’d have to store your dead body in the snow in hopes it stays frozen until someone could come to take you to the morgue.”
A frenemies to lovers, snowed in, holiday romance with loads of banter, plenty of spicy times, and giggle kicks. Once again Liz Zerkel gave me all the happy feels I needed. I highly recommend this book be added to your must read holiday TBR.

Snowed In
This book it super cute and a bit spicy.
If you were snowed in with someone you've not liked since college, what would you do?
Shelby and Julian make the best of it and decide to see what happens between them.
