#BookReview ~ The Christmas List by Maren Moore ~ Second Chance Romance, Single Dad Romance, Holiday Novella, Christmas


The Christmas List by Maren Moore is now live!

From bestselling author of The Mistletoe Bet, Maren Moore, comes a second chance, single dad, holiday novella full of Christmas sugar and spice.

About the Book:

I love Christmas.

So much so that in my small town I’m known as The Queen of Christmas.

And no one knows holiday festivities quite like Strawberry Hollow.


Only this Christmas season delivers an unexpected twist in the form of Wyatt Owens.

The handsome single father of my new student…

Who just so happens to also be my first love.


The one who broke my heart all those years ago.


I haven’t seen Wyatt since he left our hometown behind, but a piece of me has always been his.

And all those old feelings come rushing back the moment we see each other again.

Only now the boy I once loved is a charming, delicious and intoxicating man.


One I’m not sure I can resist.


Especially when neither of us can deny his daughter Lucy’s holiday wish- for the three of us to compete together as a team in Strawberry Hollow’s Annual Christmas List tradition.


At first, he’s determined to win every festive challenge on the list but the more things we check off, the more it seems like he wants to win me instead.

Soon things are heating up between us, and suddenly I find myself at risk of falling… for my ex.


But I’m not sure I could survive the heartbreak of losing him again.


Is this just a holiday fling…

Or is this the second chance I’ve always secretly hoped for?


My Review:

The Christmas List is such a sweet second chance romance. The chemistry between Josie and Wyatt is unmistakable and extremely evident. Even upon their surprise reconnection eight years after seeing each other for the last time, the author clearly demonstrated the spark was still alive - for both of them. Lucy is a cute and sassy 5-year-old and I love how the author describes her.  

This novella is a fast-paced, well-written second chance, holiday romance. The characters have depth, emotion, and fantastic personalities. I couldn't put the book down, and since it was novella length I didn't have to stop reading until I was done. Josie, Wyatt, and Lucy were fun to get to know and watch throughout the book. The chemistry between Josie and Wyatt is off the charts and I loved watching their relationship blossom.

I've never read anything by Lulu Moore until now and I can't believe it's taken me this long. I love the author's writing style. This story is well-written, has spectacular character development, and enjoyable world-building.

I was provided a copy of this book.
