Friends to lovers done so well as this isn’t generally by favorite trope. It was so angsty and I was just really into it. Double bi-awakening which we all know is my kryptonite. Plus nerd jock! Yep, loved it. CC Ricci is very quickly becoming a favorite for me!...more

I just really love a bi-awakening story. They pretty much always work for me. This was even better with it happening for both MCs! Robbie was completeI just really love a bi-awakening story. They pretty much always work for me. This was even better with it happening for both MCs! Robbie was completely OTT but I loved him anyway. Brandon was so sweet. The spice was great. I also am just kind of obsessed with the way Saxon overlaps characters from all her books!...more
Saxon James can pretty much do no wrong if you are looking for something sexy, fun, low angst, but will tear at your heart strings a bit. This series Saxon James can pretty much do no wrong if you are looking for something sexy, fun, low angst, but will tear at your heart strings a bit. This series is so fun - loving the older divorced dude journeys. Especially loved this one with the bi-awakening. One of my favorite tropes in romance!...more

It's not something I see ofThis was really cute and a perfect little holiday mm romance! I really liked both MCs and the whole grumpy x grumpy thing. It's not something I see often, but I liked it. It was a super quick read, but I feel like there was a decent amount that Lane was able to fit into the short number of pages. Nice balance of steamy & sweet without being overly sentimental....more

Grumpy-sunshine? Perfectly executed. Dislike to lovers? A+. The spice? Hatchi matchi, I will never look at cookie frosting the same and I’m okay with that!!
But for real, this story was sweet but steamy. The characters were written so well and I fell in love with all of them. There was no ridiculous miscommunications. There was so much Christmas cheer. Just good vibes my friends. I really really really hope this comes out in print at some point because I want to reread this one and have it in my collection of books!...more

This book had me sucked in from the prologue. A porn director trying to break into the holiday made for TV rom-com business because it is basically the same thing as making porn? Sold!
Bee and Nolan were just a delight! They were both such fun characters and their chemistry was top notch! I loved that Bee is a fat porn goddess who is at the same time so comfortable in her skin, while still having a few hangups about her body from time to time (because we've all been there no matter how great our self-confidence is!). Nolan is this wonderful mix of cinnamon roll with a real bad-boy streak and I was here for it. The sex scenes were great and not overly "baby talk" like I all too often see in m-f romances. They are two true disaster bisexuals and I happily welcome them to our beautiful little club. Also that scene with the corset and the thigh highs...(insert steamy face emoji here!)
Loved the Chirstmas town setting, the side characters, and the backstories and side plots. Also the constant bickering between Texas vs Kansas BBQ was just v cute.
The first 50% was a solid 4 star read for me, but it lost me a bit in the back half. If you like really swoony dialog, you might feel differently t3.5
The first 50% was a solid 4 star read for me, but it lost me a bit in the back half. If you like really swoony dialog, you might feel differently though! It just isn't my preference in romance.
What I liked: - The pining! A+! Honestly, this is how you write two characters who are falling for each other! - The demi rep! The conversations about sexuality were amazing. People should read this book just for that - The discussion around consent! Loved it! - The family dynamics - The two mains while they were filming the show - The spice!
What didn't work for me: - The back half of the story got overly swoony. I've never heard two people call each other baby so much, and it just kind of makes me want to barf. - The characters post reality show felt like they were almost different people. I really missed the pining when it was gone. - I wish the last half would have been edited down a bit. I think there was just some unnecessary filler in there. - Some of the conversations didn't feel natural.
Overall I think this is a good book! I honestly think if you don't have an aversion to ultra-swoony romance like me, you would probably LOVE this!...more

I mean, a butch mc, a femme bisexual disaster and their mutual best friend have to SAVE THE CHRISTMAS TREE FARM! Yes, yes, yes, yes!
This book is sweet and funny, while at the same time tackles some pretty intense topics (grief, alcoholism, emotional abuse) without losing that holiday charm. A tough feat, but Helena does it masterfully! Super refreshing to see a butch MC and I hope we start to see it more! I just love authentic representation in romance!!!
Also this is going to be a series, which I was hoping for while reading it. I will devour the rest of them as they come out...I can't wait!...more

This has been sitting in my kindle for months because I was afraid to pick it up. I read an eARC of the charm offensive last year and fell in love. The charm offensive is just one of those magical books that hits every note and makes you fall in love. How can a writer strike gold twice? Somehow Alison manages to do just that. I laughed. I cried. I felt like my heart might explode even though I knew there would be a happy ending. This book is funny and sexy and just really really good. Alison has solidified herself as an auto buy author for me. I just really love this story and I can’t wait to see what else Alison puts out into the world. At the end of the day, it’s Alison’s world and we’re just lucky enough to read it....more
