A Curvy Coldwater Christmas
When Kate is asked by her friend, Sarah McCord, to appear as Mrs. Claus in the Coldwater Springs Christmas parade, she doesn’t know what to think! After all, she’s only twenty-nine. And although she has a very curvy figure, she’s not matronly and gray-haired - yet.

This is a sexy contemporary romance novelette of approximately 6,800 words. Although it’s part of the Coldwater Springs series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
Sarah and Chase, Libby and Jake, Cassie and Luke, and Emma and Cade's romances are in the boxed set, Curves and Cowboys (BBW Romance - Coldwater Springs 1-4) available on Amazon.

It was sweet and touching with an adorable couple. 🥰 This is what a real Christmas story should look like!🎄⛄️After reading, I just can't stop smiling. 8/10.

Ugh, what did I just read?!
So boring and dull. Save yourself twenty minutes and don’t read this.
I’d call this a vignette, not even a novella.

This adult contemporary romance was really short and nice enough for being such a quick read. The 2 main characters are pushed together by their mutual friends who are all happily married and determined to make them a couple too. If you can get past the silly lines Santa and Mrs. Claus utter to each other on the parade float, then you might enjoy this novella.

Although this was a cute story about well-meaning friends match-making to get Kate and Flynn together, it was much too short at only 22 pages.

A great little story
Such a great glimpse back at Coldwater.
Katie can't believe that her crush is going to play Santa opposite her Mrs. Claus.
Loved the story and was a great short read.

What I liked about the novel.....
I will say I loved this short quick contemporary romance read with only two main characters that will put a smile on your face as you are reading through this sweet funny novella. Santa and Mrs. Claus on that float was the real deal in this cute little story. I loved the way they had to practice for this part everyday! Will they get that kiss perfected? Well, you will have to pick up "A Curvy Coldwater Christmas" to see for yourself.

This is another cute little story by Jenn Roseton. I finished her A Billionaire Brothers' Christmas (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 6): Holiday Short Story and in looking into the Trask brother's books came across another Christmas story. I couldn't resist. I missed the kids in this one though. A group of friends are celebrating the season with a parade that kicks it all off, but first things first. Kate Richmond is a big girl and has been all work, work, work. So her friends decide it is high time that Kate had something other than work to tire her out. That is where Flynn Winters parades in at. I mean he literally parades into her heart and she is convinced he will never feel the same about her. Will she get her Christmas wish? You'll have to read to find out. This is another short, free, and clean read complete with a mini epilogue. There is some dirty daydreaming but nothing too graphic...enjoy!

2.5 stars. This was a sweet romance short story centering around a Christmas parade. It needed to be longer. I wanted to watch the relationship develop. I also thought the dialogue was a little cheesy.

Quick story and somewhat cute. Although, the free books I download on my kindle do not necessarily warrant I read them.

Not enough heat
Mistletoe has white berries. Holly has red berries. Certainly not enough for me to pick the rest of the series

Too short
Why in heavens name, when you have the ability to capture your reader almost instantly, would you do a book so short?

Sweet Christmas romance starts with the need to find substitute Santa and Mrs Claus for the parade and of course Kate’s friend think pairing her up with Flynn Winters is the perfect solution. Together they rehearse their lines and stage kiss and Kate only wishes that Flynn would be interested in her for real. She can’t imagine him wanting her because she doesn’t have a size 0 body. The night of the parade when they kiss in front of the entire town she cherishes every moment knowing she’ll never have his arms around her again. Her friends have another plan and Christmas Day find Flynn and Kate side by side surrounded by friends and mistletoe. When Flynn tells her he has feelings for her and doesn’t want to stop kissing her Kate’s Christmas wish come true.

It was cute, for a Christmas novella about a curvy woman getting her Christmas wish.
My only problems with it were that the main character seemed to have the intellect of a goldfish whenever her crush was around. And I get being a little spacey, but I feel the overt ness of everyone around her seeing what she didn’t, and how she had to be pushed along seemed a little over the top. She’s meant to own her own business, so she’s obviously got some intelligence. But you wouldn’t guess it. That and the fact that she Also had little personality when her crush asked direct questions. He would ask a cute, leading, and obviously sexual/sensual question, and she would answer ‘yes’. And that’s it.
Overall a cute story, I read it rather quickly and it was nice.

Short wonderful read. This is my 2nd read by author Roseton and I must say that I really enjoy it them. In both instances it's a really short story with all previous characters from the series making an appearance. A great read where Kate and Flynn play Mr and Mrs. Claus for the town. Kate has had a crush on Flynn and it just works out that they both play these characters for Christmas, as Flynn has had a crush on Kate as well.

Kate is your run of the mill extraordinary baker. Flynn is a single rancher. Libby's decided that they are just right for each other. Wonderfully written short story.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Happily Ever After. Page-turner. Romantic. Tear-jerker. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

It's a really short and cute read. But it's almost 'highschool-cute' kinda cute, even though we are talking about adults here. Not much of a great storyline as such. But if you love a quick read with an HEA, you may consider reading this.

Sweet Santa Kiss
What a sweet Santa Kiss. They played Santa anf Mrs. Clause in the parade and have to kiss. So Flynn and and Sarah practice the kissing for the parade. What a cute short story. I am just sad that it wasn't longer. Good story though.

Sweet
This is the first story I’ve read by this author. It was a short, sweet Christmas romance that brings two people together who had been secretly attracted to each other for quite some time.

Merry Christmas!
A couple learns quickly that Mr and Mrs Claus are where things really begin for their life. This is a cute, quick Christmas read. It's a great read just before bed.

Okay, this one was just too mild for my tastes, but it might suit less adventurous readers. The characters were okay, but there is no spice, no drama, no sexual suspense, and simply no action, either in the bedroom or out of it. Meh!

Shot and sweet
This truly is a short and sweet romance. Since it revolves around Christmas and romance it would be hard not to enjoy it.
