This one was a really cute follow up to the first book.
It was funny oh so funny. I think I laughed reading the whole book.
Can't wait to see what Molly comes up with next.

Merry Christmas from Molly O'Hare! Best Christmas gift this season!

Olive and Hank are at it again in this fun Christmas tale. Love, romance and the holidays will keep you Teased by Tinsel! Add Dog the cat, a mishap on the highway, and a surprise guest and you've got yourself a gift that just keeps on giving!

Unwrap this gem, curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and let the heat from Olive and Hank keep you warm! After all... Firemen know how to keep things HOT!

4.5 stars

Teased by Tinsel is a continuation of Hank and Olive’s story surrounding the Christmas season. These two are a match made in fictional heaven. They really are quite the characters. If you haven’t read their first book though, drop what you are doing and read Teased by Fire first.
Anyway, full of Christmas antics, some really heartwarming moments and steamy ones too, hehe! All in all a fantastic addition and I cannot wait to see what Ms O’Hare writes next. There is just something about her books that always brings a smile to my face and her characters have solidified a place in my heart!
Loved it!

So much fun to catch up with Olive, Hank, Dog and a few other characters from this story. If you haven’t read Teased by Fire, I definitely suggest reading it before jumping into this one. Love seeing some of Hank’s hot coworkers in this story and all the Christmas fun shenanigans. Definitely recommend for that happy, fun, giggles kinda book. Feel good all around.

Teased By Tinsel by Molly O’Hare

This is another feel good, funny and romantic story from Molly O’Hare, a perfect short read for Christmas time! This is the continuation of Hank and Olive’s story, to fully understand this book, I strongly suggest to read Teased, Book 1, you will love it!

Hank and Olive are happily married, living with their Cat named Dog. Hank is totally in love with his wife and will do anything for her. The Christmas day marks their wedding anniversary and he decided to plan a trip and spend Christmas with Olive alone, his wife that has an aversion to people. There are heartwarming moments and some reminiscing from the previous book and Also talk about Aliens and Bigfoot! Luke & Miranda, Hank’s best friend and sister adds fun to the story and I feel like there’s more to them in the future. Miss O’hare can deliver the comedy and the steam in one package and I must say that I’m excited to read more of her works.

I missed Hank and Olive!
I'm so glad Molly brought them back for a holiday short.
At first, I felt like I should have done a re-read of Teased by Fire, but I caught up quickly and didn't need to at the end.
In this story, we get a glimpse at Hank and Olive's happily ever after as well as more of their huge Maine Coon cat, Dog, and all the antics she provides for our heroes.
I highly enjoyed getting a sneak peek into Lucas and Miranda and what I hope is the next book!
While I enjoyed this read and laughed-out-loud multiple times, unfortunately, I didn't like it quite as much as I loved Teased by Fire.
I still recommend it!

[Jennifer Gomez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I missed Hank and Olive! These two are so funny together. I loved all the Christmas (is there ever enough? No, no there is not).
Olives alien obsession had me laughing. I even loved the banter between Hank and Lucas. What really captured me was Lucas and Miranda. I can't wait to see what Molly does with them.
All in all I enjoyed Teased By Tinsel. It's a fun, quick, light Christmas read.
Ohand let's not forget Dog. I think the pets in her stories are some of the best parts.

[Michele McMullen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Get ready for the holidays with Olive and Hank! If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting them pick up Teased by Fire to watch these opposites attract. This is a continuation of the new lovebird's crazy antics revolving around a Christmas getaway. They are sweet, funny, and still jingling each other's bells. A romantic cabin and a whole lot of togetherness is on the menu for this adorable couple!

I loved this book so much! It reminded me why I love this cast of characters. I was also reminded that Olive is my spirit animal. I laughed from start to finish. I couldn't put this book down. I love the continuation of Hank and Olive's story. It's even better that it takes place during Olive's favorite time of year, Christmas! I would so recommend this book. It gave me everything I wanted from this book. Trust me it will get you into the holiday spirit, but entertain you the whole way.

[Paula Lloyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was soooo happy to get immersed in Hank and Olive again!! and of course Dog too....I fell in love with Molly O'Hare when I read Teased by Fire and Teased by Tinsel did not disappoint and was the perfect Christmas read. I might have reread Teased by Fire before reading Teased by Tinsel ;).

[Leslee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Happily married, Hank and Olive are living a life filled with laughter and love. Not to mention a still homicidal cat named Dog. Its Christmastime, still Olive's favorite holiday and their wedding anniversary. Hank decided to surprise her with a winter wonderland getaway. It was so wonderful to be able to check in with Olive and Hank a year later. While still dealing with the after effects of Olive's accident, they have built a life together. So funny and filled with all the Christmas feels, this was a joy to read, 5 stars!

Teased by Tinsel is a continuation of Hank and Olive's story and is a super cute Christmas read.

Hank and Olive have been married for 1 year and he decides to surprise her with a getaway for their anniversary, taking her to a remote cabin years all decked out for her favourite season.

What follows is a super fun story with a suspected alien abduction, talk of spotting bigfoot, and some crazy antics at the cabin.

I can't wait to see what's next for this series!

[Nutnut1(Lornajean Ford) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this ARC for an honest review.
The continuing story of Hank Olive and a feline named dog.
A great hilariously funny story between all the bets going on. And Olives Obsession with kidnappings by alien 👽 you will have a great time ready this book.

[Megan Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was pretty cute. It was nice to see a continuation of Hank and Olive's story, as I really enjoyed reading about them in the first Teased by Love installment. Unfortunately I did like this book significantly less than the first. I felt like there wasn't a ton of plot, just them going to a cabin for 3 days and a few hijinx that occurred. While in the first book I loved that O'Hare gave Olive the quirky personality traits of being obsessed with zombies, big foot and aliens, in this book, it teetered into the land of more annoying than endearing. I wanted to see more depth from Olive, especially with it being around Christmas time and she had just kicked her parents out of her life the year before. I was also really sad that O'Hare set up this great bratty/dom relationship between the two, but then didn't capitalize on it. The spicy scenes though were still flawless and I loved how steamy they were. I really like Lucas and Miranda and their connection in this as well. Can't wait to see them and read their story in the next book.

As "Teased by Tinsel" begins, Hank and Olive are about to celebrate their first anniversary (on Christmas!) and Hank is planning to surprise his wife with a romantic getaway to a remote cabin for a few days. Meanwhile, Hank's sister Miranda, who also happens to be Olive's longtime best friend, is visiting for the holidays and planning a permanent move back home in January after her dream job across the country turned out to be more of a nightmare. She's trying to keep her pending relocation a secret from Hank's friend and co-worker Lucas, who has a crush on "Miranda Panda" and teases her at every opportunity. Leaving Miranda and Lucas as house sitters (and hoping that the two of them won't come to blows in their absence), Hank and Olive head off to the cabin along with their giant Maine Coon cat named Dog. They'll only be gone for a couple of days; what could possibly go wrong?

I didn't think it was possible, but this book made me love Hank and Olive even more than I already did from their first book. Olive's continued obsession with UFOs, Bigfoot, and other unexplained phenomena, Hank's tendency to lose his keys/phone/wallet all the time (and his fellow firefighters betting on it), and the antics of Dog the giant cat were hilarious. However, what I most loved about this story was seeing the two of them so truly happy together. After everything they went through with Olive's accident and her recovery, they deserved to just relax and enjoy themselves.

Overall, "Teased by Tinsel" was laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, steamy, and just plain fun, and I highly recommend it for all romantic comedy readers. I can't wait for Lucas and Miranda's story next!

You get to see our fun loving couple again Hank and Olive. You're introduced to their romance in Teased by Fire. Teased by Tinsel is the second installment, a glimpse into their life a year after Teased by Fire. You're brought back to the fun loving banter between the characters, which is great. Even though this was a short glimpse into their life during Olive's favorite holiday, Christmas, I still feel we got more than just a short story. We learn Hank and Olive got married on Christmas after Olive's accident the year before. Molly O'Hare introduces us to Miranda and Lucas a little more this time around; hoping they will have their own book soon. This Christmas story is about Hank taking Olive on a surprise winter wonderland anniversary trip to a cabin with their crazy fun loving Maine Coon cat named Dog. I love Olive's continued obsession with UFOs, Bigfoot, and other crazy phenomena. I laugh at Hank's tendency to lose the main items any person finds important (wallet, keys, and his cell phone). I found myself laughing at these two throughout the story, especially when a new furry animal makes an appearance. This is definitely a story we can add to our holiday collection to read each year to get in the holiday spirit.

[Lacrymosa Quiñones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny, sweet and short

Although I loved the first book better it was nice to read the follow up. Wished we had gotten a little more take on Miranda and Luke but it was all good.


Character breakdown;

Hank: I liked him the first book but in this book he was acting more like Olive’s father than her husband. I get wanting to protect your wife after the car accident she had but he was going overboard in this book.

Olive: still love and adore her, she’s weird and a little delulu but nowadays who isn’t?

I give the book a 6.5/10 ⭐️

[Chantal Baxendale · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love this author and adore her characters. Her books usually leave me feeling light and happy! This one book unfortunately was a bit too much for me.. too much Christmas, too much happy, too much sex taking away the suspense, Olive's over the top obsession with aliens was just all too silly for me, sorry for being the Grinch that stole Christmas... The one thing that did capture my attention was Luke and Miranda, now that is something I'm really looking forward to reading.

[Chew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great addition to the Molly O’Hare universe! Hank and Olive are so much fun and I’m glad we got to see them again. My favorite character in this series is Dog hands down. This cat has such a fun personality and I wish I had a cat like her. Plus her interactions with Olive are so funny. Hank gives me some faith back In men. He is so in love with Olive and he will do anything to protect her!

Thank you Molly O’Hare for adding another great Christmas adventure for your characters!

[lowkeyreader · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hank and Olive's story continues to the holidays. It was the perfect holiday read with how many entertaining antics, heartwarming, romantic and funny moments they shared this time around, just to go for a Christmas getaway. If you haven't read their story, go and binge these books. You don't want to miss out!

Teased by Tinsel

Wow! I have been so excited to get a sequel for Hank and Olive and of course dog, and this was everything I had hoped for. Molly’s books are full of so much love and laughter and just make you feel so much better. Lots of teasing in this book for the next one and I can’t wait.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun, entertaining, quick read. It’s fun being back in this world catching up with these characters. I enjoyed getting to spend time with Hank and Olive again and see where they are a year after their book ended. The story is easy to read and get into, but must be read after Teased by Fire.

[Quincey Conway · Rating 5 out of 5]

Happy holidays indeed! Taking a trip back into the Hank and Olive's lives with their cat named Dog! Christmas, and an anniversary all into one with a trip planned and family to join. The add some alien and Bigfoot talk. This book brings the fun, laughter, joy and live all into one!

I just love Olive and Hank, and you can’t forget Dog!

Hank surprised Olive with a trip to a cabin for Christmas/their anniversary, it’s not the smoothest trip but they make it memorable.

Now I really need Luke and Miranda’s story 😏

Great story!

Hank & Olive are going away for their anniversary, which also happens to be Christmas day. This book is about their time away & the chaos they come home too!
