Week 49, 2023

This was a mixed week of holiday reads, ARC's, and more Coastal Magic Reading Challenge stories.  Since I've been reading so many holiday stories especially a series of ARC's from Neon Rainbow so I've been utilizing audio books for my Coastal Magic needs.  

No Elfing Way by Hayden Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This time the bad guy is the hometown guy and the newcomer is the one who wants to save the local business. It is a fun twist on a common holiday theme. I love the interaction between Ezra and James. This story really keeps you waiting for the resolution until the very end. I really enjoyed this story and it was a great addition to the Christmas Falls family. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m so glad the Wesley gets his chance for a HEA. I felt so bad for him after Tyler finished his photo shoot. I also like how Tyler took responsibility for not checking in. This was a really sweet story with a lot less crazy. I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.
