8 Holiday Romances to Read This Holiday Season

We’re in the mood for some romance books (surprise, surprise!), but we particularly want to read holiday romances during this time of year! They’re always so cheery, and it’s so easy to get lost in the snowy stories if you have a blanket wrapped around you and a warm drink in hand!

Here are some of our favorite holiday romances and others that we are excited to read!

A Season for Second Chances by Jenny Bayliss
Our December Literary League pick! A charmingly quirky seaside town offers a recently separated restauranteur a fresh start and possibly a new lease on love in this adorable story, by the author of The Twelve Dates of Christmas, another great holiday read!

Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey
Tessa Bailey has become an author to watch, and we loved It Happened One Summer. So when we saw that she had a sizzling, standalone, feel-good holiday romance, we had to pick it up.

Always, in December by Emily Stone
We read this one earlier in the month as a part of our Home for the Holidays Readathon, and we can’t get enough of it! A devastating, romantic, life-affirming love story, this one will stay with readers long after they’ve finished the last page.

The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
