I don't know if I could read it now, but I sure did enjoy this 25+ years ago. (!) Best “chase me across the ice while I strip of my clothes“ scene ever. Possibly the only one, come to think of it. ;-)

Faranae The only other such scene I can think of is from the film “The Fast Runner“, in which the titular character's iconic scene is when he runs from his tent naked when some folks try to murder him, but he's not stripping. I'd swear that scene lasts an entire half hour of full frontal nudity... 2d

willaful @Faranae Sounds fun, but perhaps not as sexy. 😂 2d

This was a fun family with a ex boyfriend at Christmas in the mountains. I thought it was a little dragged out but still enjoyed it!

Falling Hard for the Royal Guard | Megan Clawson

pick

I thought this was a cute romance/rom com, but the main draw is the setting at the Tower of London, where the author lived. I loved the inside scoop about what it would be like to live there, with some history mixed in.

Codename Charming: A Novel | Lucy Parker

pick

I mostly loved this. My beliefs include a) the British royal family are a bunch of colonizing shits hoarding wealth, b) ACAB, c) military service should not be glorified. It's not that this VERY sexy, funny, and romantic story about a royal bodyguard and a royal personal assistant is about those things, but they are in the background, not exactly condoned but neither are they questioned. Anyway, this couple is great, incredible chemistry!

Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend | Lucy Eden

I usually have a busy Christmas Eve with family in MN, so I don't participate in Jolabokaflod. By the time I realized I wasn't traveling this year, I had missed the sign up. So, I decided to substitute the Strandbooks "blind date with a book". And, of course, I also bought some backups in case it didn't work out.

Catered All the Way: An MM Holiday Christmas Romance | Annabeth Albert

pick

This was a sweet character-driven romance. There really wasn't much plot besides the two men falling for each other and figuring out if and how to make a relationship work past the holidays. But I like zero angst and especially enjoyed Atlas' journey with accepting the small town as home.

Wrapped Up in Christmas | Janice Lynn

I've been using a random number generator to decide which of my holiday books I'll read next, and weirdly ended up reading Wrapped up FOR Christmas and Wrapped Up IN Christmas back to back 😂

Soft pick for this one; it's just a little too cutesy for me. Bodie was seriously injured on his last tour of duty and almost died. While recovering, he received a handmade quilt from the Quilts of Valor program, and that along with the letter that came ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) with it helped pull him out of the depression he was experiencing. So when he gets out of hospital he heads to Kentucky to find the presumably sweet grandmotherly lady who made the quilt so he can thank her in person. Except it turns out that she's actually quite young and needs a handyman to help her finish renovating the house she's turning into a B&B. This is basically just happy Christmas girl wins over grumpy Scrooge man, but it ⬇ 2w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) mostly worked. The only weird part was that all of the girl's best friends were these elderly ladies from church, like apparently she doesn't know anyone under the age of like 65, which felt a little strange lol This was a perfectly nice one-off read, but I don't feel inspired to finish the series.

BookmarkTavern Honestly, I get that a little. I‘m in a book club of 14 people, and I‘m the youngest by at least 20 years. 🤣🤣🤣 2w

Andrew65 What a strange coincidence. Well done 🎄🎄🎄 2w

TheAromaofBooks @BookmarkTavern - It's true, and my best friend is 20 years older than me, and there is a lot of joy and sharing to be found in those cross-generational friendships. It was more that there didn't seem to be ANY other romantic options for her in this small town, so it kind of felt like she just jumped on the first guy under the age of 67 who showed up 😂 1w
