This was the final book in the Rosewood Ridge Rescue series and revolves around Dyson & Tori getting together during the aftermath of the previous book in the series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone since they are all about different characters but do take place in the same town so if you read the previous books you can pick up on character references and enjoy hearing how characters from previous books are doing. I look forward to seeing what the next series will be about.

This was another really fun addition to the At the Alien Hotel series and I enjoyed getting to know Taruk better after the brief glimpses we have gotten in previous books in the series. I enjoyed seeing how Zoe and Taruk interacted throughout the story and how their relationship evolved. The yum-yums were also entertaining and I was glad to see the hotel critic Rathdalia make another appearance and that he got to have some fun at the hotel in this book. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know both Vera and Grabon as they worked together to help the Elvar. Both of them had strong personalities that complemented each other and I was glad to see how everything worked out for the two of them in the epilogue. I am looking forward to seeing Wraiths story in the next book Willow and the Wraith: A SciFi Alien Romance after his brief appearance here as well as in the previous book Unity and the Usurper.

This was a really enjoyable story and while it does deal with recovering from the loss of loved ones it still has plenty of lighthearted moments to keep the mood of the story up. I enjoyed getting to know Rhea better after having met her previously in Recalling Memories For Forgetful Phoenixes and I also liked Jack's character a lot as well. I look forward to reading about Jack's roommate Rupert in the next book Mixing Drinks For Tipsy Weasels.

I LOVED this story and the characters Ru’ol & Stella. This was such a fun book and I really liked seeing Ru trying to understand all the Christmas decorations when he first got there and his love of hot chocolate is so cute. I also really liked how the book wrapped their story up in the epilogue. I look forward to reading many more books by Robin O'Connor in the future including the next book in this series There's an Elf in My Cockpit.

I really enjoyed this addition to the Villains Do It Better series and thought both Vorok and Meda were well written and interesting characters. I liked how their characters and romance developed through the story and loved the epilogue. I look forward to reading more from Kate Rudolph in the future.

5.0

This was my first book by Melody Beckett and I thought it was a fun alien holiday romance with some great characters and an entertaining storyline. I enjoyed getting to know both Kitty and Jon and thought the epilogue was really sweet. It could be fun to revisit this world and get to know some of the other characters better but if not it was a good holiday read that isn't too long.
