All I Want #1

All I Want for Christmas

Scarlett Raines
I left my hometown when I was fresh out of high school looking for more. I was a country girl, but I'd gone off to New York City to pursue my dream in the television world. What I didn't expect were my feelings for Cole Walker to come rushing back the instant I heard his name. But who was I fooling? I'd be going back home after the holidays and the thought of being with him was just a fantasy of mine, like it had always been.

Cole Walker
When Scarlett-Mae Raines left Willowview, Texas, I thought I'd lost my chnace with her forever. She was now a city girl, and what would a cowboy like me have to offer her? The day my eyes locked with hers once more after years of her being gone, I knew I had to find a way to make her mine. I had one chance, one shot to give it my all, and this time, I wasn't going to let her walk away.

This was a great holiday read. Scarlett comes home to visit for Christmas. Her sister is really happy. However, her mother is not. While back Scarlett starts seeing Cole who she has liked for a long time. The good news is that he liked her a lot too. Problem is that she is leaving soon after Christmas. Thankfully her heart makes the right choice and they get their HEA.

If you’re looking for a cute cosy romantic book to just sit curled up with on a cold wintery day, then this is the book for you. Bella Emy knows exactly what to write and for what occasion, she has done another amazing job and this is a book you must go ahead and check out. The writing was perfect, the plot was easy to follow and the characters were just loveable. This seriously was a juicy sweet read and it’s well worth reading.

Scarlett has lived in New York for the past sixteen-years, with only going back to her hometown every now and then. So when she decides to head home early to surprise her mom, she doesn’t exactly understand why her mom’s not happy to see her. Luckily though, to keep her occupied whilst she’s in town, her sister and an old friend of theirs Dustin) do what they can so that Scarlett and Cole (the one guy she let get away) spend all of their time together. However, with Scarlett only being back for a few weeks, will there be sparks flying or will she just be left hurting?

This was a lovely little short holiday story.
Scarlett comes back to her hometown to visit for Christmas. Her sister is really happy and excited to have her there but forgets to pick her up from the airport so Scarlett gets a lift home from Dustin who just happens to be the older brother of the boy she had a crush on before she left for the big city of New York. On the drive home, Dustin invites Scarlett to see his brother Cole riding at the weekend which she accepts.
Once they set their eyes on each other again, both are instantly in love but cannot tell the other one.
And the big problem is that Scarlett is leaving soon after Christmas.

But when Scarlett's mother says she doesn't want Scarlett in her home, she only has one person to go to. Will either of them be brave enough to say what they need to?
Of course nothing runs smoothly, but thankfully eventually Scarlett's heart makes the right choice and they get their HEA.

Scarlett and Cole

Super short unrequited instalove story. Scarlett and Cole knew and crushed on each other as teens. Now 16 years later, Scarlett comes back home for Christmas and they just pick up as if she never left.
Sweet and angsty, with a little steam and HEA
Low stars - chapter titles seemed off.. the dates didn’t match up with the storyline for the most part. Scarlett’s mom was horrible and then easily forgiven. Seemed quite unbelievable even for a romance story.. if Scarlett had only been gone a few years it would have been ok.. but 16 years and they act like it was just yesterday and still have feelings for each other when they never even dated to begin with seems far fetched.

This was another super read from Bella. If like me you are a sucker for a good holiday romance then this is well worth a read. I just loved Scarlett and Dustin they were wonderful characters. These two both had feelings for each other when they were younger but neither one knew the other felt the same way or acted on them. Then Scarlett moved to New York. Now she is back for Christmas and when she runs into him they both realise that time has not gotten rid of the way they feel for each other. A super little read

This is such a sweet short story, it’s lovely right from the start, 16 years was a longggg time though! Would’ve made more sense if it wasn’t as long but it didn’t spoil the story, thought it was so sweet and of course how the brothers talked, oh still my beating heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Just love the way they speak! Really looking forward to book 2 😁

An exceptional read! It is a fast pace romance that is action-packed with laughter, excitement, and a whole lot of steam. It is beautifully written with loveable characters. The romance and the amazingly hot sex will make you wish for your very own sexy cowboy. I love it and had an enjoyable time reading it. I look forward to reading the next book. Highly recommended.

All I Want For Christmas is really well written, has characters that are created with tantalizing depth, and has a sexy, heartwarming story line.
This book had me laughing and crying and really, really hot and bothered.
I could not be happier with their HEA and how everything played out. Do yourself a favor and get this one. It is worth every penny.

A super sweet and super warm tale for the holidays!!! Scarlett goes home for the holidays with the intent to surprise her mom but when that goes all wrong she thought her Christmas would be a wash. That’s until Cole, a crush that she has thought of many times over her time away. Little did she know that he liked her back!! Together they share special moments that fill their hearts. Definitely a heartwarming read that I enjoyed over the Christmas holiday.

Great story!

Scarlett was home for Christmas. It was two years since she was last there. She was in love with Cole for so long. Now that she was home, would she run into him. Well she did, his brother Dustin saw her at the airport and brought her home ans invited her to the rodeo that Cole was in. There was a pull .They lived each other but they each had there own life. What would happen?

She left as soon as she left high school to make her life in the city.. He had loved her from afar so when she comes home for the holidays he knows he must act. He will not let her go without trying to get her to be his. Can he succeed? See if he can

I'm definitely feeling jolly and festive after reading this book. It's fast paced bit after 16 years of waiting for Cole and Scarlett things needed to get done.

Cowboy romance

Scarlett and Cole had a crush on each other when they were younger, but they didn't get together. Now she is back home for the holidays and they meet up.
Set at Christmas, this is a nice romance, but not very festive. Still, quite nice
