A Very Merry Ridge Falls Christmas

by Mandella Carona

In a tiny town, deep within the Maine woods, there was a young little boy who thought
perhaps no one was celebrating community quite like they should.

So he pondered and plotted—scheming until there was a fantastic plan.
There would be Twelve Games of Christmas to spread joy across the land!

The folks of Ridge Falls had never seen anything like this before,
so nary a soul knew quite what could possibly be in store.

Lo and behold, what the endearing Riley did here
was spread a ton of love and a lot of holiday cheer.

If you find you have been missing the antics from our friends in Ridge Falls,
then look no further to see how this Christmas fares for them all.

About the author

Mandella, a proud born and raised Mainah, enjoys consuming—as much as she enjoys writing—books. She hopes to add ‘bestselling author’ somewhere in her title someday. When she’s not writing or indulging in a little ‘light’ reading, she enjoys snugglin' with her dog, Maverick, and being outdoors: camping, hiking, fishing, etc. By day, she works in the medical field. By night, and oftentimes through a weekend, she writes unique, funny, and sometimes deep novels—with a little bit of spice.

Had to give it the ol' 5 star ⭐️ rating. Sorry, not sorry. Now, if you know me at all, I have a hard time bragging up anything I do, and this novella is no exception. No, the stars I lent myself are on the sheer joy I got from reuniting with the crew from Ridge Falls.

I just love 'em all. 🫶🏻 Hope you do too!

I really enjoyed this novella! I was missing the Ridge Falls characters, and this was the perfect little visit back to their world. It gave me all of the warm and fuzzies. I wish all communities would come together like the one in Ridge Falls! The sense of community and family, found and otherwise, is *chef's kiss*! This story was super sweet, really funny, and suprisingly HOT!

Although Riley (Jake and Levi's 6yo son) plays a big role in this story 🥰, the adults still have their alone time 😉.

One of my favorite parts, now in all of Ridge Falls history, is Quinn and Elliot's private time 🥵. Holy WOW, that was perfect!

I’m so obsessed with all of the Ridge Falls characters! I was so happy to hear about this novella I didn’t even care that Christmas is over, I had to read it! It did not disappoint. I loved that this had perspectives from all the Ridge Falls characters! This had me cracking up and cheesing, and gave me all the cozy Christmas vibes with some spice sprinkled in! Loved it!

This was such a fun little look back into Ridge Falls for the holidays. I love books like this that are sweet like Hallmark movies and yet have attitude and spice that those definitely don't. Comfort, joy, pranks, snark, spice and a continuation of everyone's HEA. I loved it!!
