10 Swoon-worthy Christmas Romance Reads

Christmas is practically here right? Which means it’s definitely time for some Christmas romance reads.

Given the state of the world right now, I’m sure we can all agree that Christmas is basically going to be a two month event, as it more or less is for me in a normal year but anyway…

I love reading while snuggling under a blanket with all of the fairylights on, a hot drink and a sweet treat or two. And while we get warm under all the layers, how about hot under the collar too? Sounds good right? Exactly.

I’ve done the heavy lifting for you by searching for some holiday inspired stories for you to indulge in, I’ve given you a TL;DR AND I’ve even let you know which of the books are currently on offer!

We’ve got F/F, M/M, diverse romance, some steamy novellas, a lil bit of that paranormal good stuff, time travel and more.

So, here are ten Christmas romance reads I’m adding to my TBR this winter.
