I said the other day that all of these books are exactly the same in the best way. And I mean it! It's so cozy and comforting to know that you know what you're getting yourself into with these books. A hot dude and a hot lady falling in love. And then you're mixing in a massive dose of trauma and political intrigue. You wouldn't think that bit would be comforting, but it still doesn't change just how cozy everything about this series is to me!

Does Kaia's animal make sense as our welcome into Black Sea? Absolutely. Does it make sense for her character? Absolutely. Am I disappointed that she's not a mermaid or narwhal or beluga whale? Absolutely!

This was still a great book. I have been really looking forward to getting a deeper look into Black Sea, and I don't think it gets any deeper than this station in the black. I love everything about it. I want more. I want to look ahead to see if we get to return to Black Sea anytime in the next few books. My fingers are still crossed.

I do think it's very interesting that Kaia had not one but two major traumatic events that affected her so severely. Obviously this happens. And it's what made this book so compelling. But for her to have to face both of these traumas in such quick succession after avoiding them for like 20+ years is a lot to ask of her! I love this series so much.

Makes me want to embrace a warm weather Christmas

This is very cute. Can I relate to someone abandoning their entire life and moving to a different continent to get away from the worst thing that ever happened to them? Not personally, no. But dang I get the desire. She couldn't have changed her life more than she did, that's for sure. It's certainly inspirational. I live somewhere that is more often than not in the high 70s for Christmas. This has inspired me to want to embrace a warm weather Christmas, instead of trying to force the cold weather traditions on a 75 degree day.

OK. I love Christmas Notch. I want to go to this wildly sex positive town where everything feels like Christmas all the time. Even the strip club is Christmas themed, and that's just so amazing. It never fails to bring me joy to think about it.

But I've noticed a pattern with these books that I'm finding does dampen my joy a touch. I had high hopes for this third installment. And don't get me wrong, I do love the bi representation in this series! There's a lot to be said for that. But the fact that the full novels are all MF, hetero-presenting couples, and only the novellas are MM and FF is definitely a choice. They tee'd it up perfectly to be a MMF throuple. But it wasn't meant to be.

Or it was, but we were like 50+ years too late? And WWII robbed us of what could have been? You've gotta read it for those details, but I would definitely watch that movie!

The thing I dislike most about this particular installment is how weird it is to call Sara, Eliot's ex. They were friends. Best friends. And he had an unrequited crush. It sucks, but that doesn't make her his ex. And the fact that he needed an entire year to get over the fact that they didn't have a relationship is so wildly incel of him. Which really sucks because otherwise this was an adorably cute version of The Holiday. And I still want to be invited to a Thieving Elvis party. I wouldn't say I love this series. It's cute, and I have enjoyed it though. And I would like the closure of getting that last friend's book. I can't remember her name, but she's the only friend in this little group that hasn't gotten her HEA. I thought we would have gotten her story this year, but we got an unrelated story. I guess I hold out hope for next year.

I do not remember anything about Thieving Elvis from Eight Winter Nights. But it's still the best version of White Elephant/Dirty Santa/Secret Santa that I've hears. The idea that all of these hurt feelings are left over from some middle school drama is hilarious. Not to say that I am not definitely holding onto some trauma from my time in school, but like. The detail with which these people "remember" these things is wild! They were life-forming events apparently. And there is always a soft spot in my heart for a fake date, so I loved that.

This book had me so dang mad at her family. Specifically her uncle, but like. UGH they just let it go. This was another one where the center was grief, but luckily the main content of the book was so lighthearted because otherwise this would have been really hard to get through. And all of this while she's trying to start a new life in an apartment that's falling apart. At least her neighbors are delightful! Even when she assumes the super thoughtful gifts were given to her by the cute granny neighbor....not the hot "Santa" upstairs.

This girl is a disaster. She's also "not like this." What could be more like a holiday romance than that. It's very silly, and I love it. But I will say, as lighthearted as some of these happenstances feel, the grief is very real in this one. It was manageable because everything else for just so silly.

I love Olivia Dade so much. I am obsessed with the concept of an off-brand Oscar Mayer Weinermobile riding around with adults dressed as elves as their marketing ploy. What a delight? The only that I didn't love about this one was that Nina was so ready to believe her bestie would flirt with her big ol' crush right under her nose. And not just flirt with him, but hook up with him. While only the 3 of them were on a road trip together in the off-brand weinermobile in elf costumes. Truly, everything else is perfection. And her bestie was ride or die....more than the others because they're in a weinermobile...riding. lol.

I've never read a Tessa Bailey, but this made me see the hype. I'm not thrilled about the kids aspect, but I still loved the romance. I mean, a super talented tailor thinking you're hot and sewing custom clothes for you?! Because you're a massive farmer too big for your own good. What's not to love honestly!
