Status Updates From Under the Mistletoe: Six Co...

Truth and Dare - Possibly the strongest story. A sweet, caring romance of two good people without these strange quirks of the romance genre that I dislike. The leads have a good report with each other. Friend to lovers, I buy it! Honestly, I'm tempted to trace down Coulter Bellon's remaining books.

So far 2 whiny heroines.

First (and Last) Christmas Date: Holy crap was this bad. Stupid on every level and in every detail. Tag is a macho idiot with the brains of fungus. Juliet is one of those doormats whose every thought is how to make others feel better. And don't get me started on not knowing what a kimono is and other authorial intrusions. 0 stars.

Christmas Every Day: Missing faith problem, but likeable characters. Psycho ex was a bit much and the drama a little high, but still a nice story. 4 stars.

Holiday Bucket List: Started off rocky. Celeste has a giant negative motivation and Mike seemed kind of pathetic. Was surprised when Eden turned that on its head and then I loved it more than a little. 4½ stars.

Truth or Dare: I don't buy the actual background, but I don't care. I loved these two and their bond was great. Exactly how you do a short romance. 5 stars.

The Last Christmas: Meredith and Eric are both idiots. Who serves divorce papers without at least suggesting marriage counselling? Or having a conversation? 1 star.

Forgotten Kisses: Madison is an idiot and doesn't deserve nice things. Caleb is a forgettable non-entity. 1 star
