A Very Merry Bromance | 
My holiday #libraryhaul for today! Went to pick up the tagged book I had on hold and ended up coming home with lots of holiday/wintery reads off my TBR.
I am planning to spend December reading happy, fun romances and cozies along with a few others that feel right for the season off my own shelves. I need some comfort and joy right now.
Which one should I start with?
pickFinished my #DoubleSpin. I love this series so much and I hope this isn‘t the end. I would love to see a book inviting the cheese man into the book club next. IYKYK 🥰🧀📚
#BookSpin picks for July. I started The Bromance Book Club series at the beginning of this year and have been making myself wait till this month to start the last (for now) of the series. I was so happy to see it was chosen for my #DoubleSpin pick this month. 🎄📚
pickAnother good one in this series. I really like Colton but Vlad (The Russian) is still my favorite.

I opened my #JolabokaflodSwap today! Thank you so much, @wanderinglynn! I am loving this series and recommend it if you like rom coms!

This started out a little shaky for me, but in the end I enjoyed it. The last one, about the hockey player, is my favorite of the series.
Meanwhile, I DNF‘d a Christmas book from my personal shelves, and I‘m making good progress reading Letters from Father Christmas.

pickI really enjoyed this and adored Colton! My #bookspin for the month @TheAromaofBooks #teamwreathitandweep @StayCurious #holidayromancereadathon @peanutnine
This #holidayromance is (perhaps?) the last in a series. It‘s not really working for me so far, but it‘s a nice palette cleanser to read a chapter or two between mysteries. 😎

pickStarted my holiday reading with this one. It was cute. I liked Colton more than I liked Gretchen, but it‘s understandable why she had a lot of baggage. The complicated relationship with her family certainly kept this book from being fluffy or too lighthearted.
pickI admit these books are a bit formulaic, but the formula keeps working for me, so...! As usual, Colton and Gretchen had some compelling chemistry and backstories, but the chapters from the book they were "reading" got kind of dropped without resolution, making them feel a bit pointless. The grand gesture at the end made up for everything, though! #contemporaryromance
pickI love this series! I read this one slightly out of season (😆) but found it just as delightful. Colton, the famous country singer, is trying to convince immigration attorney Gretchen to give him another chance.
pickGretchen asks Colton for a professional favor. Colton uses that as an opportunity for them to spend more time together; apart from their first night together a year ago. Will Gretchen let her guard down for Colton?
This one was way better than the one before. It‘s now my second favorite out of the series. They had great chemistry, but I wish there was a little more spice. The plot wasn‘t too cliche, but the writing was a little.
pickI know it's not Christmas but I really like this series and I was excited that it was my turn on Libby.
This time it was Colton's turn to find love. I highly enjoyed his journey in finding the one.
I felt bad for Gretchen; she had a terrible family, which explained her behavior. I do admit that she annoyed me at first but I came to love her for Colton. I give this 4 ⭐️.

pickI read this out of order. I‘ve only read the first of the series. This will ensure I go back and read the others as well. I love the characters and the complications of their relationships as well as the friendships involved. Like the first one I definitely laughed out out a couple times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A festive #audiobook as I finally pack up the holiday decor.
pickThis a cute and fun book. It's an entertaining Christmas rom-com. The best part - all the gang gets together again.
pickThe perfect Christmas romance. Packed full of humor and great characters.
pickI believe this is my favorite one so far. I‘m not surprised since I love Colton so much. His story definitely put me into the Christmas spirit. I hope we get Roman‘s book soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this swap and I‘m SO EXCITED for this book! (I‘m diving in as soon as I hit ‘post‘)… and any chocolate with nuts is my jam 🍫
#jolabokaflodswap @LMJenkins thank you so much!! And @MaleficentBookDragon thanks for hosting 🎄 📚 ♥️
pickI only regret reading these so fast that I have to wait for upcoming titles. I wanted a little more epilogue vengeance like seeing Gretchen's brother fall on his own whiskey decanter or something even more spiteful. Read cover to cover minus a pause to watch The Grinch with the family and a wrapped reading bedtime story.
pickI think Colton pulled ahead as my fave of the series! I wasn‘t expecting much with this one but it blew me out of the water! A perfect, sexy Christmas read. Can‘t wait for the next one! ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hitting a bit of a wall with reading this December! I‘m loving this so far but have been SO busy getting ready for Christmas that have barely had time to read and haven‘t felt a lot of motivation 😩. Thank goodness my kiddo is in an orchestra rehearsal for the next 90 minutes so I can use that time to read for #WinterReadathon!
After 9 days I finally get to read a seasonally appropriate book. #AmReading
pickWonderful! Funny and sweet and full of the familiar cast of characters. I love that Adams‘ heroes and heroines have real stories, with ups and downs that they work to overcome together. Great holiday setting and Nashville is always a great town to read about. I couldn‘t put this one down and read it in a day! Highly recommend! #BookspinBingo #WinterReadathon @TheAromaofBooks @DieAReader
pickI cute holiday romance in the bromance series. This grumpy sunshine romance can be read as a standalone. I found the heroine a tad frustrating and could see the third act conflict coming, but it was a fun easy read. 3.5⭐️

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As with all the other books in this series - I loved it but don‘t know if it‘s actually good 😂 It is a compelling read - once I got into it, I couldn‘t put it down. I did like her exploration of difficult families and how those influence relationships. This is a series I will always be excited to read, but I really don‘t know why 😂👏🏻👏🏻
pickThere has not been a book in this series that has done me wrong. Colton is more likable than I thought he would be. I thought there would be more depth with both main characters and details about their pasts. But I got enough. I also hoped I would find out something bad happened to the brother but🤷🏼♀️ between Christmas and the cuteness, one of the favorites of the series.
Also from my #BarnesAndNobel trip yesterday, I came across this festive Christmas display!
“I‘ve got my lo📖e to keep me warm!
pick4.5/5
Another great entry to this series the pays homage to romance subgenres, this time a Christmas romance between country music star Colton Wheeler and pro bono immigration lawyer Gretchen Winthrop.
pickI was going to try to save this for December (it was just released Tuesday), but I couldn‘t wait. And then I stayed up a bit too late last night to finish this, but I had to see Colton get his HEA. ❤️
