BLURB:
A Christmas snowstorm. Two opposites that most definitely attract. Only one bed.
When the man of your absolute dreams slams their mouth into yours, there is only one course of action. Yours truly–that’s me–has broken it down into four easy steps for your convenience.
You’re welcome.
Step one: make sure he really is attached to you. Lips to lips. You’re a clam. Do not let go.
Step two: climb him like a tree.
Step three: thank your past self for all the squats that gave you those thunder thighs.
Step four: enjoy every second of that kiss before said (maybe-not-so-straight) man realizes what he’s doing and has a freakout.
Christmas Bubble is a low angst, standalone, Christmas novel featuring a petite but larger-than-life cheerleader, an older demisexual football coach and a winter cabin by the lake with only one bed.
Will this be the season when all their wishes will come true?
REVIEW:
I love Christmas books. And I love when I discover a new-to-me authors that hit all my warm and fuzzies. This book and author did all those 💕
Bubble is a force to be reckoned with almost any time but if he’s on a mission then you don’t stand a chance. And that’s a good thing in Coach’s case because he definitely needed that extra push.
I loved that each of their backstories made the man who he was but didn’t overpower the story. Yes there were deep hurts that left scars that needed to heal. And they were the salve for each other to heal and move forward.
I think my most favorite part of this story was Bubble having conversations with his Grandma whom he had lost. I get that! I used to ask my Grandma to watch over me from heaven. And when I met the man of my dreams on the anniversary of her death I just knew he was the one she chose and sent to me. The love of a grandchild from their grandmother was a truly special touch in this story.
This may be pretty insta-love for some people and Coach’s flip may have seemed quick but I saw it as a long, slow burn that flash ignited when it reached a combustion point. It just needed the right catalyst to ignite. Forced proximity can definitely do that. And Coach’s parents reminding him of a long lost childhood friend brought to light some possibly repressed thoughts.
This was a delightful Christmas book that will get you in the Christmas spirit.
