Welcome to Litsy!

A quick & festive listen. I find Talia Hibbert balances the cuteness, spicy & emotional baggage well in general and I loved the set up here (a woman seeks employment from a hot well known tattoo artist) along with the good deeds & the Christmas spirit that permeates the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fun reread of a favorite Christmas novella. Hibbert is the best at making you laugh, swoon, blush, and tear up all in the same quick book.
This is an expertly done novella - nothing felt rushed & everything wrapped up nicely.

Just amazing! Heartfelt and spicy loved it! #GingerbreadGems @Roary47

Talia Hibbert brings spice to the holidays with this romance about a tattoo artist whose difficult past makes him believe he can't be in a healthy relationship and the psych student he's falling hard for. Bailey has baggage of her own, but when Cash finds out she doesn't have any plans for Christmas and invites her home, their true feelings become undeniable.

The Christmas reads continue with my #WeekendReads

Another Talia Hibbert love story that doesn‘t shy away from difficult conversations.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was really nice to be lost in one of Hibbert‘s worlds again for a few hours.
This was a very quick read - Libby said I was reading for only 3.5 hours. But somehow it was still a full story with strong characters. I could see places it could have been delved into more, but it really wasn‘t needed.
Great Christmas novella combining cute jokes, spicy moments, and real issues as Hibbert does so well.

Hibbert writes dialogue and character interactions extremely well, and I loved loved loved how the main pair have their own important, on page, friend and family relationships.

Bonus points applied for good communication and honest handling of backstory traumas. Points knocked off for the clipping fast pace with ending that resolved all issues forever in like an hour. Felt a bit like a novel shoehorned into a novella. Low pick.

Got my second bingo with #AVeryMerryBingo @Jadams1776

Another fun and steamy holiday novella. When Cash witnesses the barista he's been harboring a crush on, Bailey, get fired, he offers her a job at his tattoo parlor, and tries to navigate their new relationship.

Desperate to try to read and finish SOMETHING, I found this on my Kindle that I downloaded 3 years ago. I‘m sure this is more a reflection of my mood, but I didn‘t love it. I love a bad boy with a squishy center, but Cash isn‘t really a bad boy. He‘s damaged and instead of being honest with Bailey, he‘s a jerk, and she‘s there to forgive and make it all better. Fix yourself, dude. Anyway - Goodreads goal for the year now met. #150/150

Wrapped up in You by Talia Hibbert 🌟🌟🌟🌟

A grouchy ginger bad boy and sweet heroine who takes no sh&t will always get me! This book had some very serious moments and I loved how the MCs got through their pasts to come together.

So I read this earlier in the week, had not had time to post as much this week. This was cute and quick. I do like that this author has a lot of books with diverse couples. #wintergames #teamreadnosedreindeer @StayCurious

Cute! I read it one big gulp and am wondering why I haven't read any of the other Talia Hibbert books I already have on my computer!

The first of the many holiday romances I'm planning on reading, this one combines Talia Hibbert's delightful writing with some very strong family Christmas vibes. It was fun (when not delving into trauma)!

Ah, right, I stopped reading last night because of the loud, sweet mom named Karen. Time to read through lunch and cry about not spending Christmas with my own mom!

Gonna need this on my TBR immediately.

(I tagged a different Talia Hibbert holiday romance since I couldn't find the right one on Litsy)

Snack time with Talia Hibbert! I‘m excited to dig into her latest holiday romance. (It isn‘t in Litsy‘s database yet, probably because it‘s a Kobo Original, so I‘m filing it under a book from a couple years back.)

It basically melts my heart when Elliot buries her face in blankets. I‘m not sure anything is cuter 😻

In other news... enjoying a chill #caturday evening reading the night away

A quick and cute Christmas romance story with a quirky, nerdy WOC who is also quite the firecracker. Wish it had been longer though. Seems as though it barely scratched the surface of their back stories, but still an enjoyable and festive read - 3.5/5 ⭐️

Charming! Short, sweet, and a little spicy. Perfect Christmas Eve quickie! (Sorry, couldn‘t help it!) #christmasread #romantsy

Good Christmasy read, with thick thighs and tattoos 🎄🖤🎄

5⭐️. I enjoyed this quick heartwarming read!

In need of a light read so here we go!

My second full holiday romance of 2018 was a good 'un. Talia Hibbert writes great characters with compelling backstories. I instantly connected to Bailey and Cash--so much so that I was almost halfway in before I realized I loved them as individuals but was kind of indifferent to their relationship status. Thankfully, that changed, and I soon began rooting for their HEA as I binge-read into the wee hours.

I made it back to Murchie's today! This time I tried their Nanaimo Bar tea latte while I read MERRY INKMAS. It's my first Talia Hibbert, but it won't be my last.
