Hello again!

I am reviewing Sweet Christmas Romance 2017 by various authors (see above). I received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Any quotes that may appear below are from the text and are not my words.

This was a great book to read when you are in the mood for romance. I love short stories and it was nice to read Christmas themed ones. I am not going to review each individual story but as a whole, this is a very fun compilation. The stories were well written. 

I must admit, this book made me want to snuggle under a blanket and drink a nice mug of hot cocoa. It gave me this sense of comfort and coziness that I really enjoyed. I am rating this book Four Red Books because it was a very good read and I will most likely recommend it to others.
