Noelle The First

Nicole Falls

This book is reminiscent of “The Grinch”, with the protagonist being a grumpy skeptical adult who has lost her Christmas cheer. With the help of an old friend and absolutely hilarious sisters, she can find that bright-eyed Christmas cheer she once had as a child. This novella is a quick Kindle read, less than 100 pages making it perfect for a small break while drinking hot chocolate by the fire.

Hollidae Fling

Joy Avery

Mistlefoe: A Mead Realm Tale

Kimberly Lemming

A holiday novel that is not only feel-good, but features ridiculous situations, outrageous characters, funny moments, and heated romance. A fake relationship novella featuring magic and snowy landscapes at around 60 pages that you could read on your way to work.

Home for the Holidays: A Cavanaugh Island Novella

Rochelle Alers

Iris Nelson is a pastry chef that has recently escaped an abusive relationship. Collier Ward is on leave from his tour in Afghanistan. The heat between them is undeniable, but is it the holiday season, or is there actually magic in the air? Featuring popular pre-established characters from Aler’s Cavanaugh Island books, this novella sits at around 118 pages, making it an easy read and a sweet holiday treat.

Note: The synopsis for this novella on Goodreads is incorrect! The one on Amazon is accurate, and the reviews on Goodreads also reflect the correct novel.
