Make the Season Bright
von Ashley Herring Blake
Two exes find themselves stuck at the same house for Christmas in this holiday romance by Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date.It's been five years since Charlotte Donovan was ditched at the altar by her ex-fiancée, and she’s doing more than okay. Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true. As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado—it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet’s upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane’s sister Adele also brought a friend home—and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton. All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas—and try to forget that her band kicked her out. But instead, she’s stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers—which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele’s mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events. Charlotte and Brighton are soon entrenched in horseback riding and cookie decorating, but Charlotte still won’t talk to her. Brighton can hardly blame her after what she did. After a few days, however, things start to slip through. Memories. Music. The way they used to play together—Brighton on guitar, Charlotte on her violin—and it all feels painfully familiar. But it’s all in the past and nothing can melt the ice in their hearts...right?

Rezension von Julia SophieThis book found me at the right time. I was looking for a cheery queery christmas romance and Ashley Herring Blake did not disappoint! We have multi-facetted and unique characters in a true Winter Wonderland. Besides Brighton and Charlotte I also connected with Sloane, Adele, Manish, Elle and Wes. The third-person narrator fitted amazing- wanna see more of that. However, the middle part was rough. Many of Charlotte‘s decisions were literal bullshit and the miscommunication between these two drove me crazy. Sorry not sorry, but leaving the love of your life at the altar isn‘t quite the basis for a second chance. I found myself hoping that they could just move on because I couldn‘t see them having a future with each other. Moreover, I am not a huge fan of solving problems via spice instead of talking. Yes, those scenes were good but the last one was unnecessary - I would have preferred some real talking. The final was cute and of course I am happy that they somehow got their happy ending. If you are looking for a cute (spicy) christmas romance then you found your match! I certainely had a good time with this one and I can’t wait to read the other series by AHB.

Rezension von F. AmelieI love this book! It is a holiday book, but it has not too much of Christmas and I really like this. Also, as a not native speaker, was it great to read ( I’m B2). The best part about this book is the chemistry between Brighton and Lola. It’s so intense and amazing you know they love each other so deeply and there’s no second in this book where you think this relationship makes no sense and I think this is really important for Romans novel also, I love that there was so much queer representation in this book that there was a bit talk about being aromantic and having side character that also have theire own story.
