Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Okay, I listened to this on audiobook and had to sit down while listening. I was not prepared for the level of spice, but hot damn! There are some of these stories which take you there and will sweep you off your feet. If you love holiday stories and are disappointed with how white “Love Actually” is, this is for you. It features some of my favorite romance authors right now so I knew I’d be in for a treat. And boy was I right.
This playful and inventive take on the bare bones of Love Actually infuses it with diverse backgrounds, queer romances, and takes what we know and gives it some well needed twists. There’s ample chemistry and the different audiobook narrators (Ramona Master & Gomez Pugh) make this feels cinematic and a real treat. You get the sense the characters come alive. There’s not sense of feeling rushed and each of the stories has details, chemistry, and a sense of history.
