5 days ago 5

This might be a hot take, but I’m going to say it. The holiday season begins on November 1. From the moment October ends, ’tis the season. You can be a Grinch about it all you want, but facts are facts. If you’re with me, then it’s time to start planning your holiday romance TBR for the holiday season (which yes, is a full two months long). Here are three new holiday romance books that you should check out!

Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

I can’t wait to read this sapphic Christmas rom-com this holiday season. Ex-fiancées Charlotte Donovan and Brighton Fairbrook are brought back together again (against their will) for the holidays. Hoping to make it through the season without any drama, Charlotte and Brighton pretend not to know each other. But all of that backfires when they get signed up for a series of dating events. Now they’re being thrown into a bunch of romantic situations together.

Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot

Here’s a cute lil Hanukkah romance to warm your heart this holiday season. Abby Cohen is the only Jewish person on the tourism board in her small town, so of course when the town wants to throw a Hanukkah festival, Abby is put in charge. Abby is in over her head and desperate for help. Unfortunately, who answers her call? The obnoxious, way too happy, but also kinda cute Seth. It turns out Seth needs a Jewish girlfriend to appease his parents, and he’s more than willing to help Abby in exchange for a fake relationship to last the holiday season.

Last but not least: an enemies-to-lovers story between a real Scrooge and the most Christmas-loving gal you’ll ever meet. After an Airbnb mix-up, Noel and Kincaid end up sharing the same space with each other for the holidays. Noel just wants to shut out all the real-life drama and have a very merry Christmas. Kincaid is too busy trying to nail down a lucrative business deal to care about the holidays, and all of Noel’s Christmas cheer is just annoying the heck out of him. Will these two be able to work it out?
