I've been meaning to get into this author's work for quite some time now. The announcement for this novella immediately caught my eye and I knew I had to pick it up. I headed right into the Aspen Ridge world. I had to finish reading it in one sitting. I enjoyed this story so much!

Hailey and Graham's journey pulled me right in! Graham is a single father to daughter, Mila and Hailey is now Mila's nanny. Hailey and Graham have been in each other's lives for years since Graham is best friends with Hailey's Dad. A moment changes things for Hailey and Graham. Will these two give in to the forbidden between them despite everything?

Right from the start I was glued to Graham and Hailey and their story. I really enjoyed how they lived together. I couldn't wait to see how they'd take on living together, Hailey's dad, and everything they made each other feel. The moments that both Graham and Hailey shared with Mila warmed my heart!

Hailey was so relatable to me and I adored her. She cared so deeply for both Mila and Graham. Graham was a dedicated father and hardworking. The way he was with Hailey had me falling for him even more! These two kept me blushing and feeling so much all throughout reading! Hailey and Graham's chemistry lit up my kindle! The free use?! YES, please!😍

I so enjoyed being in Aspen Ridge for the the first time and what other characters brought to the story, especially sweet Mila!

With Daddy Issues, Ms.Plummer has created such a good single dad x nanny page turner that brought age gap, blushworthy goodness, dad's best friend, touching moments, and the feels! I'm mad at myself for not having picked up this author's work sooner. I will definitely be going back and reading the other Aspen Ridge books! 🥵🥃⛰

4.25 Stars! 💗🎄🍓

After having read The Mistletoe Bet and A Festive Feud I was so happy that we were getting more from this world! I've been so excited for this third installment ever since. I headed back to Strawberry Hollow right away. I had to finish reading it in one sitting. I adored and really enjoyed this story!

Josie and Wyatt's journey drew me right in and didn't let go! Josie is a kindergarten teacher and the Queen of Christmas in Strawberry Hollow. The man who forever left his mark on her heart, Wyatt, has returned and his daughter is her new student. Wyatt is a single father to his daughter Lucy and is back in Strawberry Hollow for his family. He couldn't believe that Josie, his ex is his daughter's new teacher. As Josie, Wyatt, and Lucy become Team Rowdy Reindeers for The Christmas List competition, could it lead Josie and Wyatt's hearts back to each other this Christmas?

Both Josie and Wyatt got me right into their story! I enjoyed how Lucy and The Christmas List competition brought Wyatt and Josie back into each other's lives. It was such a blast seeing Josie, Wyatt, and sweet Lucy take on the activities on the list. I didn't know how Wyatt and Josie would handle being around each other again, their past, The Christmas List, and the feelings still between them.

From her love of teaching and Christmas to what a sweet soul she was, I absolutely loved Josie! I really connected with her. Christmas is my favorite just like Josie's. It touched my heart to how caring she was with Lucy. Wyatt's bond with his daughter, Lucy, was so beautiful to see! I so admired how great of a father he was. Wyatt had me falling! I loved the ways that Josie got to him and how determined he was when it came to her. The way he called Josie honey. 😍 The moments that Wyatt and Josie both shared with Lucy had me smiling so big. I just adored Josie and Wyatt together!

Being back in Strawberry Hollow warmed my heart and soul right up just like drinking my favorite Christmas beverage! It was so lovely being back in this world and reuniting with the Pearce family. I so enjoyed what all of the characters brought to the story, especially precious Lucy!

There were so many parts that I highlighted and this is one of my favorite quotes - "She's always been the thread that's unraveled every part of me. That never changed."

With The Christmas List, Ms.Moore has created such a wonderful page turner of a Christmas read that brought heartwarming moments, the entertaining Pearce family, steamy goodness, and many feels! If you haven't taken a trip to Strawberry Hollow yet, now is the perfect time to do so. Be sure to pick it up along with your favorite Christmas go to's and dive in this holiday season. I can't wait to read what this author brings our way next! 💗🎄🍓

4.5 - 5 You See Me Stars!! 💙🥪☕

Anytime that this author announces a new book I always look so forward to it! It became an anticipated read of mine ever since and I've been so excited for it. With every teaser and post for this one, I couldn't wait to pick it up! I got into this story immediately and didn't want to put it down. I devoured it in one sitting! I really loved and enjoyed this story so very much!

Alexander Bane and Magnolia Myers's journey pulled me in and didn't let go! Alexander is a partner at Balanced Designs and is a landscape architect. Magnolia is in search of a job and gets an interview at Balanced Designs. Alexander is grumpy and Magnolia is all sunshine. He needs a new assistant and she needs this job. They collide together in memorable fashion. As Alexander hires Magnolia, can this boss and assistant work together? and could more bloom between them?

From the moment that Magnolia and Alexander first meet I was absolutely glued to their story! I really enjoyed the way these two were brought into each other's lives and that they were assistant and boss. Both of them were hard workers. I really liked that we got to see them at Balanced Designs together. I couldn't wait to see how things would play out for them at the office, things they were dealing with in their lives, and of course, their feelings for one another.

Magnolia was so caring and relatable to me. I adored her so much! Alexander was more than meets the eye and had his walls up. I fell for him! They both showed such realness throughout and their connection was beautiful. The back and forth between these two had me cracking up! There were so many priceless moments between them. Alexander and Magnolia got each other in ways no one else could. The chemistry between these two was wonderful, blushworthy, and undeniable! I went through all kinds of emotions with them from beginning to end!

Opening your heart to someone isn't easy, but most definitely worth it which Magnolia and Alexander's journey sure showed. I swear Alexander and Magnolia had me craving sandwiches, coffee, and muffins so much throughout! The bond that Magnolia shared with her dad got me right in the heart. Also, I adored Hedgy!

With My Favorite Boss, Melanie Moreland has created an entertaining day maker of a read that kept me grinning, blushing, and feeling all kinds of feels! I'm still thinking about it and how happy it continues to make this soul of mine. It's another favorite of mine from this author! This book brings a whole new meaning to Bane of my existence. 😏 If you haven't read this author's work yet, you so need to. I can't wait to read what she brings our way next! 💙🥪☕
