Wrapped In Love by Kristen LucianiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book pulled me in right away. While it might not have been super festive, it was real. All the feelings were there, the love, loss, family drama. The Christmas spirit was there when it needed to be, when it mattered the most. I did skim over the bedroom scene, it didn't really feel needed, I wanted to get back to the main story. All in all this was a good introduction to Cringle Cove. I think this is the first book of Kristen's I have read, and I will surely look up more.

Unexpected Gift by H.J. BellusMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed Poppy and Roan, and who wouldn't fall in love with Grace. The story wouldn't be the same without her. A big part of me hopes HJ decides to write the others' stories too! Jake and Ivy, Brad, and Greyson! It could be magical, hint hint! Even a prequel with Mom and Dad's story! Oh the possibilities. Not only do you fall in love with this town, but you fall in love with the family.

Winter Games by Victoria RenteriaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this one. I have not read anything by this author before but I am loving her style.
Brother's best friend, family support, celebrity status, drama, oh the drama! I was hooked. Cringle Cove is a small town where everyone knows everyone else, so I loved seeing the characters from the other books also. These do NOT need to be read in order, I actually read this one last.

What the Elf? by Kate BensonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love Cringle Cove and the coffee shop setting, I just had a hard time connecting to the Characters in this one, not sure why. It is still worth the read though!

Christmas on the Rocks by Michelle DareMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If it could go wrong for Shaine it did. Karma though, for real. She was so negative about EVERYTHING, why did she even come home if she was going to be such a B about it. Anyways, moving on. Max, you can't help but love him. Shaine and Max's story was good, I still wonder why he loves her so much, but he does. Great second chance Christmas read.

Title: The Cringle Cove Christmas Chronicles
Genre: Holiday Romance
Publication Date: November 29th, 2018
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Reviews & PR
Blurb:
Another winter means Christmas in Cringle Cove, the cozy resort town nestled in the mountains of Pennsylvania. My home.
It was never my dream to run my aunt’s bed and breakfast, but it’s my reality. The only good thing about this time of year is that we shut down the bed and breakfast to celebrate our family’s Christmas.
The town twinkles with the festive lights as the snow falls in a glistening blanket on the land. The cheer is in the air, and I find myself embracing the holiday spirit. Not even the stack of bills that keep piling up can ruin the joyful cheer.
That is until I collide into Roan McDaniels in the local coffee shop. The searing liquid that spills down my arm, is nothing compared to the ache in my heart.
He’s back in town. The man who broke my heart so many years ago and he looks good. Damn good.
Little did I know I was in for a very unexpected gift.

Abby
After my sister and I lost our parents, life has been up in the air. The only thing we’ve been able to hold onto is our pact to spend every Christmas together, avoiding it like the plague.
That’s exactly what I’m doing when a deliciously dimpled man introduces himself the first day I arrive in Cringle Cove.
There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, right?
Until our easy friendship turns into a hellacious crush and a favor bred from nightmares.
For the first time ever, I’d kill for a Christmas miracle.
Dex
For someone who loves everything about the holidays, mine are sure getting off to a terrible start.
The worst part? I promised my ex I wouldn’t tell a soul we’d ended things until we’re far away from Cringle Cove.
At least I’m in the most festive town in the country.
If everything else goes to hell this week, I’ve got that.
I’m hiding out in a coffee shop when I see Abby.
She’s awkward, sarcastic, and obviously miserable here.
I’ve never wanted anyone more.
Keep a promise to your ex in exchange for a happy holiday?
What the elf was I thinking?

Shaine
It's Christmas in Cringle Cove. Somebody save me.
This place makes me crazy with all the decorations. But one thing makes being here even worse: my ex-boyfriend. In fact, he makes me regret ever leaving the house.
One wrong step and I fall—hard. Who's there to save me? None other than Max. Seeing him again brings back so many memories. One, in particular, brings tears to my eyes—the day I ended us.
He’s all I think about. All I see. And he wants me back.
However, returning to Max means choosing a road I never thought I’d take again.
Maxton
I always know when Shaine’s home on break from college. Every part of my being goes on high alert the second she enters Cringle Cove. She was once mine, but not anymore.
That is until I find her on the ground in pain. Ice happens.
With her suddenly near, I have to fight the constant urge to wrap my arms around her and kiss her. We aren’t the same people we used to be.
We have a lot to work through. Hearts to mend. If Shaine is my Christmas gift, it'll be worth all the pain.
This will be one long week.

This is my first trip home in nearly four years. I haven’t been back for a very good reason—and his name is Hunter Beckett.
My parents need my help over Christmas break, so I’ve agreed to return during the semester break against my better judgment.
Kisses under the mistletoe. Family pictures in front of the numerous decorations. Christmas in Cringle Cove is a magical time for everyone else who visits—just not for me.
Four long years away without a single glance backward. I’m THISCLOSE to college graduation. One week around the chocolate-with-flecks-of-gold-eyed devil and I’m THISCLOSE to giving in to him all over again.
Hunter should come with a warning label: MISTLETOE NOT REQUIRED.

Camryn
He made a promise.
He gave me a ring.
Then after planning the perfect future, he made a choice…to kick me out of his life.
Except, he never bothered to tell me.
I hate that I’ve spent the past five years comparing men to the one who shredded my heart.
I hate that he still has such a tight hold on me from across the Atlantic freaking Ocean.
And most of all, I hate that I’m still in love with him.

It was the biggest mistake of my life.

And now I’m back to face everything I left behind.
Only I’m too late.
