Dahlia Springs
24 Dares of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my dear aunt sent to me: twenty-four dares in a fugly advent tree…
The only way I’m going to survive a month of holly jolly misery post-breakup is to hibernate through the Christmas season before moving away for my new job.
Two things blow my straightforward plan to smithereens: 1. My lovable aunt, who guilts me into watching her spoiled weiner dogs—who do NOT like me—while she’s gone for the holiday. 2. My scheming aunt’s surprising tenant, Warren, who I just can’t seem to get out of my head.
To add insult to inconvenience, I find my aunt’s filled my childhood advent calendar—the one I’d designed for dares instead of days—with sappy, festive, time-suckers. Now, stuck at her house, I’m completely baffled because I can’t look away from Warren’s big smile, warm eyes, and unrelenting Christmas cheer. I’ve never felt like this for a man before, but it’s like my heart’s a Magic 8 ball stuck on “All signs point to Yes” whenever he’s around.
Warren’s offer to guide me through the festive challenges as my personal elf raises my festive mood, among—ahem—other things. Now I’m coming to terms with not only wanting a guy to jingle my bells, but Warren’s company is taking me from local Grinch to wannabe Santa in a heartbeat.
Am I actually living in a Hallmark fan’s wet dream? Maybe, but Warren’s making me the jolliest I’ve felt in years—all while slowly but steadily capturing my reluctant heart.
24 Dares of Christmas is a low angst, bisexual awakening MM Christmas romance set in the Dahlia Springs universe. This standalone story is stuffed fuller than a stocking with Christmas traditions, family fun, candy cane sweetness, and appearances by characters in the Tap That Brewery series.

This author writes the best Christmas stories!
This is another holiday romance set in the small town of Dahlia Springs, Oregon. It precedes the duet Lee Blair wrote in 2023, but I read the books out of order with no confusion.
What to expect: biawakening, weiner dogs in Christmas sweaters, absolutely ridiculous (and ridiculously adorable) holiday games, and a multitude of sweet kisses.
HEA set at Christmas a year later included (and I wouldn't have it any other way).
Low on the angst (although true-to-life problems, like crippling debt, aren't swept aside), low on the steam, high on family love and joy.

Heartwarming really sums this one up. If you want a cuddly & cosy Christmas read then this is a good contender. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it's predictable. But I'm not mad about it, it fit the holiday spirit.
I think the dares were clever but it maybe could've been a bit more structured. I lost track a bit but I feel like we didn't even learn about half of the dares and I definitely could've done with a list.
The parts I liked best were all the domestic moments - no surprises there. In particular, I loved how Reed helped Warren get a better understanding of his debt and how to manage it, and also encouraged him to pursue his dreams even if it didn't match the picture he initially had for himself.
The family aspects were also very nice and I appreciated the stark difference in temperament between Warren's loud and boisterous family, and Reed's calm brother. There's also an ex who's not a harpy, or a bad person at all, just a woman with whom Reed didn't quite fit. It was all very well-rounded.
It's quite funny by moments and I like the author's style. I read a short story by them which isn't on GR but I quite liked it too and I'll definitely go have a look at their other books. There are some cameos here but I didn't find it overbearing.

This book was so heartwarming. Reeds rediscovering of Christmas cheer and Warren and the mason clans love for Christmas made this a great read. I loved it that much I can’t wait to check out tap that brewery series and revisit some of these wonderful characters

3.5 rounded up
This is Reed and Warren’s story and takes place before Mistletoe Kisses but I read that one first, oops! 🙈
Extremely low-angst, full of Christmas magic and adorable dogs. I absolutely loved Warren’s family and their traditions. 🥺
This could’ve easily been a 5star read for me but some things made it miss the mark, it felt like it was too long at the beginning and the ending felt rushed, it’s a common theme for me, I guess. I might’ve also have read too many stories close together where one MC is moving away and the couple chooses to ignore the elephant in the room and “enjoy the moment” and I think for once I’d like to read something where they agree to give the distance a go and then realize they don’t wanna be apart 🤷🏻♀️
Less time spent telling rather than showing, thankfully it wasn’t done a lot but I just didn’t see why we couldn’t be shown when the book was so long, could’ve cut back on some repetitive thoughts to include the stuff thats being told 🙈
It was a really nice, cozy read that didn’t just focus on the relationship between the two MCs but also their personal struggles with their future/career. 😊

Did I start reading Christmas romances on Halloween this year? MAYBE, DON'T JUDGE ME. Warren would understand me, haha.
I'm actually kind of mad at this book, because it was SO GOOD and now it's OVER. HOW DARE.
I fell so hard for Warren and his totally bonkers, totally lovable family. I also really liked Reed once he removed the candy cane stick from his Grinchy butt, lol. The chemistry between Warren and Reed is SO GOOD, with Warren basically crushing hard from moment one and Reed being mildly surprised at his late-in-life bi-awakening. This book is very low angst, so come for the Christmas hijinks and stay for the cuddles and eggnog-flavored condoms. Also, I'm not sure how Lee Blair does it, but this book is somehow sort of a slow-burn instalove story? It doesn't make sense but it's SO GOOD, AHHH.
If you love hilarious moments, Peppermint mochas, abundant Christmas cheer, and cozying up on a couch with a couple of dachshunds to watch Christmas movies, this is the book for you! (Also, are there actually people who haven't seen Empire Records? I don't buy it, sounds fake to me.)
24 Dares of Christmas is a standalone, but it's set in the same world as Lee Blair's Tap That Brewery series as well as the novella (I think it's Perfect Blend. This was my first book by Lee Blair, but you'd better believe the first book in the Tap That Brewery series, Pitcher Perfect. is next on my TBR!! To my knowledge, this book doesn't have any spoilers for the other set in the same world.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are unbiased and my own.

When Christmas Grinch Reed agrees to watch his aunt's dogs while she's on a sweeping European vacation with his parents, he is prepared to be a hermit for a month and do nothing but watch trashy TV. He's on a paid vacation leading to a promotion to a team lead position within the marketing firm he works for...in Seattle.
When he gets to Dahlia Springs he is greeted by his aunt's tenant Warren and the old advent calendar he created in middle school dubbed "the 24 DARES of Christmas". His aunt has set him 24 dares to get him up and out enjoying Dahlia Springs.
And it works. Bringing him closer to the town and Warren in the process.
Warren and Reed are unbelievably cute together. Them navigating Reed's bi-awakening and inevitable move to Seattle while still growing closer is cute and fun to watch. Seeing both boys reclaim their love for photography or marketing (in a cozier more personal way). I love these Dahlia Springs books so much. They all have a really cozy Hallmark movie vibe and that's lovely.

A completely sweet and heartwarming holiday story. I'll admit I wasn't drawn in right away but somewhere along the way I fell in love with Warren and Reed, they were perfect together! The town is quirky (I'd love to live there), the secondary characters were great (I'd love to call any of them my friend) and Aunt Katherine's 24 Dares were ingenious. Oh and the pups! So damn cute. 😂
● Holiday/Christmas
● Quirky small town
● Easy read
● Low angst
● A recent breakup
● Bi-Awakening
● Instant attraction but more of a slow burn
● A bit Hallmark-ish which means cheesy but I was more than ok with that this time
● Great family and they were so much fun
● Made me smile & laugh
● Somewhat swoon worthy
● First times (mostly off page so limited on page sex)
● Loved the MCs... Reed & Warren
● In the Dahlia Springs Universe
● Characters from another Dahlia Springs story play a part
● Can definitely be read as a stand-alone
● I didn't feel like I was missing anything even though this was my first time in this universe
● Very satisfying ending
● Looking forward to reading more in the Dahlia Springs Universe

This was very sweet and low angst. The town Dahlia Springs sounded like a Hallmark movie and the descriptions made me want to go for a visit. I liked both Reed and Warren and the way their relationship develops. I also liked how they resolve their issues with their respective careers, and how Reed becomes part of the town. Aunt Katherine and her dogs were adorable.

This is such a cute story. I enjoyed the progression of Reed and Warren's relationship. It made for a sweet story.

They each laugh at the other’s remarks through almost every line of their first convo. That scintillating way of presenting dialogue was emblematic of the general dullness. DNF @15%

One of my favourite holidays read this year. This was released last year but as I don't particularly like Holiday themed books and only read a selected few, I missed it. Glad I read it this year though. It was a nice surprise.

I wasn’t sure about this book initially as the narrative was very quick and seem unbelievable. Having said that the more I read this book, the more I enjoyed it. Reed and Warren were well rounded and the supporting characters were integrated into the story well. My first Christmas story this year and worth it.

good holiday romance.
I really enjoyed this story! Sweet, cute, and gently funny with only a teeny bit of internal angst. Reed and Warren were so good together and I enjoyed the dares. My only complaint was that, to me, it felt longer than it was.

I feel like I haven't been able to give five stars to any books in such a long time! I LOVED this one. This was like a great Christmas romcom in a already established universe with all the loved characters from Dahlia Springs.
Warren's family was a blast and I hope to hear from them again.

If you like Hallmark movies and want to read one in book form, then look no further than this book right here. It has all of the trademarks: big city workaholic comes to a small Christmas friendly town and falls in love, has to choose between love and career, all of it. And Lee Blair does it beautifully, following a familiar recipe and adding her own little signatures to make this book sing.
My cheeks STILL hurt from reading it and I finished it last night.
Reed and Warren were amazing characters who balanced each other so well. They both had some real shit to deal with. Reed was reeling from a recent breakup and kind of hated his job. Warren was struggling with debt and figuring out his life path after his business went under. They were both lonely. And then, they met - because Reed came to stay at his Aunt's while she was out of town and Warren happened to live in his aunt's back yard. An easy friendship developed between them and from there, Reed realized that it wasn't just friendship.
I've read a lot of bisexual awakenings, and I really loved Reed's. I loved that it mentioned the late night google searches and buzzfeed quizzes that are pretty known territory to anyone who has ever questioned their sexual or gender identity in the modern era. I loved how he was confused as to how he made it to his thirties without knowing this about himself. (I loved that this book had two MCs in their 30s trying to figure their life out because #relateable.)
And I loved watching them grow together, bonding over dogs and dares and holiday fun.
The entire book is incredibly sweet. The communication between the two MCs was amazing. I left the book once again wishing I could move to Dahlia Springs, because everything about that town - from the Tap That Brewery to Mabel being a busybody to the insane holiday traditions - makes me love it even more. I loved reading about Warren's family and I loved seeing Reed start to change his opinions on how he grew up as well - without suddenly not being still a bit hurt from how he always viewed it.
Nowhere in the narrative does it make Reed or Warren feel bad for how they feel about anything. Plus, bonus points to Lee Blair for not villainizing Reed's ex, Amber.
This book was a dual POV with a very low angst. It was sweeter than hot cocoa with extra marshmallows, had a ton of fun Christmas references, had some great cameos from all the other Dahlia Springs people, and was just fun. I loved it and I do not regret it being my first holiday book of the year.

4.5 stars! This was my first Lee Blair book & I will definitely be giving some of her other books a go after reading 24 Dares of Christmas! It was all about the Christmas spirit which if you’re going to write a Christmas book, it might as well have a lot of Christmas elements thrown all over the place lol. It’s just what I’m looking for in a holiday book!
I love the concept of the 24 Dares, it was fun to see what they all were & I loved how the Aunt set them up for Reed to do when all he planned was to be a hermit Scrooge all month!
One of my favorite things about this book, other than the dares, was Reed’s character. It was a bi-awakening for him but he embraced his attraction for Warren & wasn’t afraid to try being with a man for the first time. At first when the author introduced Reed as a workaholic Scrooge I thought for sure he was going to be irritable & have big internal conflicts but he was actually pretty easy going & that was refreshing in a gay/bi-awakening story.
Last but not least, Warren & his entire family were a hoot & I loved it soooo much!!! Seeing how Reed fit in with them was super sweet as well. It was just like a big cup of hot cocoa the entire time 🥰 Warren & Reed were an amazing couple & I could really see how they could fall for one another in such a short period of time, but it wasn’t too insta-lovey for me, which I greatly appreciated!
My only reason for not rating it higher was because, for me, the spicy scenes were just a little underwhelming at times & I would have liked at least one more detailed scene at the end. Warren & Reed had so much chemistry & I wanted to explore that more in the bedroom. But that’s just personal preference & I’m one of those people who wants alll the spice/detailed bedroom scenes 😅. But that being said, I 💯 recommend this book to any MM, Christmas lovers out there because it really got me into the spirit of Christmas!

I've not read any books in this series and you run into some characters from other books but it's not essential to have read them.
This is very much a Hallmark movie type of book (which the author acknowledged) where Reed is changing jobs and moving to Seattle after breaking up with is long-term girlfriend and his aunt asks him to babysit her dogs as he has a month break in the small town he used to visit as a kid. Turns out his aunt has a lodger, Warren who lives in a guest house. Reed plans on being depressed and a slug for the month but Warren is a very appealing guy with Christmas spirit despite his own issues and Reed's Aunt sets up an Advent dare calendar to get him involved in the community. Before long he's hired to run a social media campaign for the town to win some money to develop their center and Warren is helping him.
It was just very sweet and both guys were nice people. I liked that Reed didn't freak out over the "I'm bi" revelation and that they weren't perfect. Reed had to rethink the way he looked at his family (much younger surprise child) and that Warren needed some non-judgemental help to deal with his issues as well. So it was kind of nice to see them both grow and of course in the way of Hallmark, it's the perfect little town with everyone friendly and Warren's family was insane (in a good way) and Reed fit right in. Another big plus
I think the fact you saw the personal growth of both men made it more than just a small town is amazing romance. There was something more to it than just falling in love. So definitely a sweet holiday romance. The drama between them in minimal and of course you know it's a Christmas romance so you know how it will end. A feel-good read.

A lighthearted, sweet, and super fun holiday story with light steam is the perfect way to describe 24 Dares of Christmas by Lee Blair. Set in Dahlia Springs, the story has a ton of short cameo appearances by the guys from Lee’s other books, but also a bunch of new characters that added a ton of humor and fun to this story including a quirky aunt and a snarky brother. While it is modeled after a Hallmark movie, there is some light steam (not FTB) and 24 Dares has all the charm without being too squeaky clean in language and in the bedroom. I adored the premise of this one and couldn’t resist reading.
Reed’s aunt suckers him into taking care of her two sweet dogs, which he can’t stand, for the month before Christmas while he’s between positions at his company. Taking a break from 12 hour workdays and leaving the city is just what Reed needs after breaking up with his longtime girlfriend. While he thought he would get to veg and watch endless TV, he gets so much more than he bargained for when he meets his aunt’s sweet and cute tennent, and also sees his aunt left him an advent calendar of holiday dares. Together, the guys tackle each challenge and they each realize how perfect they are for each other.
This bi-awakening romance is super sweet and avoids all the holiday story pitfalls. Honestly, I would probably enjoy this story anytime of year. Their story is super cute with each bringing baggage to the table, but the angst factor is very low. While this story isn’t as steamy as others Lee has written, it is an adorable love story with just enough action in the bedroom to keep everyone happy. I loved the dynamic of Warren’s big family and all the fun they added to the story. From Grinch to falling in love when he least expected it, Reed and Warren’s love story will warm your heart and get you into the holiday spirit.

While he thought he would get to veg and watch endless TV, he gets so much more than he bargained for when he meets his aunt’s sweet and cute tennent, and also sees his aunt left him an advent calendar of holiday dares. Together, the guys tackle each challenge and they each realize how perfect they are for each other.
This bi-awakening romance is super sweet and avoids all the holiday story pitfalls. Honestly, I would probably enjoy this story anytime of year. Their story is super cute with each bringing baggage to the table, but the angst factor is very low. While this story isn’t as steamy as others Lee has written, it is an adorable love story with just enough action in the bedroom to keep everyone happy. I loved the dynamic of Warren’s big family and all the fun they added to the story. From Grinch to falling in love when he least expected it, Reed and Warren’s love story will warm your heart and get you into the holiday spirit.

Reed has quit his job in Portland and will be starting a new job in Seattle right after the holidays. In the meantime, he's been drafted to spend December in Dahlia Springs to take care of his aunt's dogs while she's in Europe. Reed figured he'd spend the time holed up at Katherine's, watching cheesy Christmas movies and ordering take out. What he didn't expect was that his aunt's tenant would be young, hot, and...a guy?
Warren is eager to meet Katherine's nephew. From spending time with Katherine, he feels like he already knows Reed. Warren is delighted that Katherine has given Reed an advent calendar with 24 holiday-themed dares to complete. Warren is happy to help, and he finds himself falling for Reed. When Reed is cajoled into helping the chamber of commerce market Dahlia Springs in hopes of winning a grant, Warren is also talked into helping. Reed's career is in marketing, and working with small businesses reminds him why he used to love his job. Warren had to give up on his dream of owning his own photography studio, but with their new project, each rediscovers what they enjoy most about their chosen careers. It also gives them a chance to develop feelings for one another, but Reed will be leaving after Christmas...right?
What a lovely, fun holiday story. I loved the setting and seeing it through Reed's eyes as he got caught up in all the holiday madness. I enjoyed Warren's mad family and how Reed learned to interact with them. All the characters were fully realized, including Katherine's dachshunds. While there was some low level angst regarding Reed's impending move, the author was skillfully laying the groundwork for everything to work out, giving our mc's their HEA.
This was basically a Hallmark movie in book form. Delightful! Five stars.

Do you love super sweet, absolutely adorable Christmas romances? Me too! And 24 Dares of Christmas is exactly that. Low-angst and uplifting.
Returning to Dhalia Springs for a Christmas romance was the perfect way to start my holiday reading. I love that small town and its lovely supportive people. The home of great food and our favourite brewery, Tap That.
You’ve got Reed a workaholic corporate type, hiding out at his Aunt’s in Dhalia Springs after his break up with his girlfriend and upcoming move to Seattle. His plan is to eat, watch TV and avoid the holidays.
What he wasn’t expecting was an interfering Aunt and her extremely good-looking tenant, Warren. He is small-town personified. Mixed with an elf. He loves Christmas, the small town, and his large boisterous family.
These two click immediately and become the best of friends. Practically inseparable. Warren is determined to help Reed with his Christmas dares and help him enjoy the holiday season. Funny thing…the more time they spend together, the more time they want to spend together. Next thing you know…
Trust me the ending will make you grin, though be fair, it’s more like you won’t have stopped grinning, because I smiled the whole way through this story.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to find myself some peppermint kaluha and a coffee.
Also, please tell me that Lucas will get a story, that guy is screaming for his.

This is such an enjoyable festive romance! My first of this holiday season and I can't wait for more.
Reed and Warren are both not happy with their current lives, for one reason or another. Reed has come to stay at his aunt's for December while she's away and has the added bonus of getting to know Warren who lives on her property. I love the idea of the 24 dares advent calendar, it's a lot of fun that gives Reed the chance to get out, into the festive spirit that he normally ignores and socialising with the town of Dahlia Springs. It's a wonderful friendship that develops that quickly has attraction growing, something new for Reed when it's towards another man. He's very much a go with the flow kind of guy as he eases into exploring with Warren and steps up to help the town try and win some fundraising by taking on their social media for their winter festival. Warren, whilst loving what is building between them, has worries of his own regarding his recent past but also what is possible for the two of them in the future as Reed is meant to be moving to Seattle for a job.
Despite this, it's a pretty low angst romance that has all of the festive cheer expected in small town US, with hilarious family antics, dogs that are all too happy to wear Christmas jumpers, and 24 dares to bring two men together over the holiday season.
Fans of Tap That Brewery series will recognise several faces here. It's great being back in a small town that really has so much holiday cheer. A mix of Warren and Dahlia Springs give Reed the push he needs to get into the spirit of the season.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

This is a fun side plot addition to the Dahlia Springs Universe. Not included in the Tap That Brewery Series, but it takes place in the same town with cameos from characters and town locations. This was a fun and sweet romantic holiday dare adventure.
Life lesson: dreams only die if you let them. Just because you failed at your first execution doesn't mean you FAILED. And dreams thrive when love is added into the recipe. It's the encouragement that one needs to follow their true happiness.
While Reed is in town for the holiday season to "watch" his Aunt's dogs, she leaves him an advent calendar full of 24 dares to complete while he is there. This leads him on a self-finding trail through his sexuality, lost holiday spirit, and life revelations. Warren is a tenet in the guest house, and the 2 become quick friends and more as he is pulled into the dares as well. Having lost his dream job and is under piles of debt, he is shown through the dares that no dream dies easily.
The book was written very well! It flowed smoothly while not going overly into each day's dare. Even though there was a development plot, this centered more on the men and their relationship development. The ensemble was written perfectly. We got a ton of cameos from the Tap That series and new characters introduced, mostly their families. They added the comedic touch this spicy hallmark story needed.
The spice was good! 3.5/5🌶. There were scenes left to the readers' imagination, but we got 2 really good ones in there.
Dahlia Springs isn't done yet! There is a duelogy called the Dare Me Christmas Duo. The first book focuses on Lucas, Warren's brother.

Who among us can resist a good Hallmark film, no matter how sappy?
24 Dares is certainly a Hallmark read. But with a difference. The characters, even the supporting characters, are well described, well thought out and their interactions and interrelationships are plotted and laid out out clearly. There is no need to go back and forth asking “who is this person?”
The two main characters are, of course, attractive and likeable. Their circumstances are clear. Their reasons to be in their location are explained and totally credible.
Reed is on vacation before starting a new job. He arrives at his aunt’s home to care for her dogs while she is on vacation. Warren is the aunt’s tenant and good friend.
Reed’s aunt Katherine has left him an advent calendar and each date is filled with a dare to complete, which is a game they played together when Reed was a young boy.
All that said, the men meet cute, are attracted to each other and the gist of the novel are the fulfillment of the dares.
The pleasure of the novel is that the book is beautifully written. Simple language with well defined characters and a plot which is definitely Hallmark-ish without being told too much in a rush. This is a real book, not a short story. The length of the book is a plus and while the wrapping up of the elements is in keeping with the genre, still is not hurried and forced.
This is a writer that this reader will look for again and hope that her other work is so well done.

This is the first time I am reading a Lee Blair book and I'll definitely be adding her others to my list now. I absolutely loved this story. It has a great Christmas vibe as well as dealing with bigger issues within the storyline.
Reed has agreed to dog-sitting for his Aunt whom he has a close relationship with as a younger child, after being the 'surprise' baby and therefore much younger than his siblings. His relationship with his girlfriend Amber has recently ended and with them working together Reed has taken a promotion in another city after Christmas, but is using his leave to take a break and to help his Aunt at the same time.
But Reed discovers so much in the sweet town of Dahlia Springs where his Aunt lives, including her tenant Warren, all thanks to Aunt Katherine and her providing Reed with a reminder of his youth when she gives him 24 Dares for Christmas instead of the traditional Advent calendar.
A huge part of the book is Reed discovering his sexuality, thanks to his Aunt and her tenant. The steamier scenes were really well written. There is enough spice without being too over the top. In a lot of ways, the romance in this book is quite slow-burning, and I wanted Reed or Warren to take the risk but in other way's it isn't and it really does flow at a good pace.
This book also covers some slightly deeper topics including debt and the author showed how normal it is, but also managed to capture the shame and embarrassment which I applaud.

Hello hello pessoas!
Quando estamos desalinhados com a nossa verdade, com o que faz a nossa chama queimar algo precisa mudar. E para isso é preciso coragem. É nessa situação que está Reed. A namorada acabou de terminar com ele e para piorar eles trabalham na mesma empresa. Querendo fugir dessa situação, ele aceita uma oferta de mudar de cidade para encarar uma nova posição na mesma empresa. Outro problema: Reed também não gosta desse emprego! Mas enquanto a mudança não vem, ele é "convocado" pela sua tia a passar o mês de dezembro cuidando dos cachorros e realizando desafios diários na pequena cidade de Dahlia Springs.
Chegando lá ele conhece Warren, que é inquilino da sua tia em uma extensão no mesmo terreno, e logo ele se dão super bem 🥰.
Os capítulos tem as visões de Reed e de Warren durante todos os dias dos desafios. Eu super comprei esse casal! Reed com suas atitudes pulso firme, do tipo, quando eu quero uma coisa eu corro atrás e Warren com sua doçura e suas inseguranças encontrando o Reed para se apoiar.
Todo o livro tem a vibe Hallmark Channel e temos aquele suspense agradável estilo Virgin River. Super recomendo a leitura se você curte clima natalino, porque tudo gira nesse tema. Livro fofo e de amor saudável.

This story is super low in angst, high in fluff, and absolutely brimming with holiday cheer— there’s an idyllic small town setting, a quirky and welcoming extended family (they’re presented in the novel as somehow over-the-top zany but either my standards are skewed or they’re just really nice, a tad sarcastic, close with one an other, and deeply invested in Christmas traditions) and a sweet, warm, insta-lovey connection between Warren and Reed. I loved the premise of the 24 dares that are not-so-secretly dates set in motion by the kind of overly invested, meddling relative who’d be a nightmare in real life (boundaries are not, even mildly, a thing) but is charming in fiction, and I appreciated the sweetness and acceptance the two offered each other, and actually quite liked the fact that problems and potential problems basically magically solve themselves through earnest discussions and general good will. (I will admit, however, that this does occasionally go a bit overboard for me: I cringed, so hard, when one MC cheerily assured himself he could help the other with a debt problem by encouraging him to get a job that pays more). Warren and Reed, like everyone in the town they inhabit, are marshmallow soft and candy-cane sweet, and it’s hard not to be charmed.

This was an adorable small town Christmas romance. Reed is the big city marketing guy who is conned into dog sitting his aunt's two dachshunds in the month of December in her Hallmark-esque town of Dahlia Springs. He meets her tenet Warren and boom, bi-awakening commences. Their Christmas advent tradition involving the 24 Dares of Christmas pushes this self-proclaimed Grinch into becoming involved in all the Christmas shenanigans. Reed is also talked into helping the town's social media campaign in a park revitalization contest which makes him get to know the town really well. Throughout the month, Reed gets to know Dahlia Springs and Warren really well, and is falling in love with both. Like any Christmas story worthy of Hallmark, he has to decide if he wants to continue with his plans to move to Seattle after Christmas or stay in this small town with the man he may want forever with.
I don't watch Hallmark Christmas movies because they are predictable and cheesy as hell. But Christmas romance books with the same premise? That's something I can get behind. There wasn't a lot of steam in this book, but there was enough to not be disappointed. The relationship was very low-angst which should be a Christmas rule.
Overall, a very satisfying Christmas read! Now I want more from this author.

I have read Lee’s short story called “Perfect Blend” and I now cannot wait to read their Tap That Brewery series. The little town of Dahlia Springs is the most perfect Hallmark town ever. I want to join the cocktail crawl and see the smiles of all these wonderful characters. Each person is given such a unique personality that I was able to picture myself in the room during conversations to follow along or guess what sassy comment was going to come next.
Reed is a bit of a stiff businessman who has fallen into such a routine that he doesn’t realize what he is missing out on, until the dares left by his aunt show him what life may have to offer, and then he has to return to the city.
Warren is an absolute sweetheart. He is kind and willing to help anyone. His cheer level is off the frickin charts with sweaters for every occasion and an eye for decorating.
As a self-declared Hallmark and sappy romance lover, I DID NOT WANT TO STOP READING. This book had me so hooked that I would rush through chores so that I could get right back to find out what Aunt Katherine would make the Grinch do next! This is the perfect read for during the festive season, or to pull out for Christmas in July and remember all the joy that holidays can bring. Hallmark with steam was a nail hit right on the head with this novel.
