Holly’s Unjolly Christmas

I received a copy of this book from the author, but my review is entirely voluntary and honest.

Holly’s Unjolly Christmas is a part of the Horned Up For the Holidays anthology, which follows 3 different couples. This book follows Holly and Az. It is a Demon/human romance, standalone, HEA. It involves tropes like grumpy/sunshine and forced proximity. It is a contemporary, cozy, Holiday romance. It includes a lot of spice, special appendages ;). There is a third act break up, but no cliffhanger. I need to get my hands on the bonus epilogue because I am just not done with these two yet.

This book was an easy and quick read. I really enjoyed Holly and Az. Holly is too good for this earth, that is for sure. She is always seen as a pushover, and after a divorce and losing everyone she had, she had to learn who she was all over again. I like that Az and Holly are both broken, and they both find happiness and peace with each other and can mend themselves together.

The story follows Holly going on a vacation for Christmas following her divorce. She thinks she is going to this luxury cabin, but turns out she is catfished and has to stay and share the cabin with the demon groundskeeper. He tries to make her miserable to leave a 1 star review because he does not want tourists in the area taking it over and ruining the hidden secrets of the mountains. It was fun watching them come together and learn to open and trust each other. The trust does not come easy, and takes a lot of work, but they end up in an HEA.

I really liked Lark’s writing style. I look forward to reading more books. I do recommend this book! It does not matter what order you read any of the Horned Up for the Holidays books, but I do recommend this one first as you meet all the characters from the other books. I haven’t read those yet, so it is entirely possible that you get cross over of the main characters in each book.
