Two old friends, a snowed in cabin, and a mission to save Creekville’s Christmas…

Taylor Bixby is content running her café and watching her customers fall in love. She wouldn’t mind a little mistletoe magic herself, but the last kiss to curl her toes was from an old friend–an eggnog-fueled mistake. It’s a good thing he hasn’t been around for the four Christmases since.

She’s got her hands full overseeing the town’s most beloved holiday tradition, and she’s fine leaving Levi Taft—and the night they don’t speak of—in the past.

Until he walks into her café without warning.

Levi Taft is back in Creekville to fix what he broke four years ago. He misses his best friend too much to let their friendship fade, and he sees his chance to make things right when catastrophe threatens Taylor’s ambitious Christmas Town plans.

It’s simple. They just need to outrun the blizzard of the decade to wrangle eight grumpy rental reindeer…and escape a snowbound cabin in a forest riddled with absurd amounts of mistletoe. Oh, and restore a little boy’s faith in Santa.

Christmas needs saving, but is Taylor willing to try when it means risking her secrets for the only man to ever break her heart?

Book Review:

This was such a cute book! I have been loving reading more and more Christms books lately, and this one was adorable.

I am a huge fan of friends to lovers, and Taylor and Levi were too cute! They had a ton of good banter, and I love how they fell right back into their old friendship. Their family was a lot of fun too, and I thought the sisterly relationship between Sara and Taylor was super fun. 

This novella goes pretty quick as Taylor and Levi are confronted with their old feelings through a series of meddling family members. It definitely kept me wanting to read more without worrying about their relationship. I would definitely recommend this novella! It’s adorable, and even though it’s short, Taylor and Levi’s relationship doesn’t seem rushed which I appreciated. It’s a closed door romcom part of the Creekville Kisses series but able to read standalone.

Kiss and Tell

About the Book:

Kiss and Tell: A Small Town Romantic Comedy (Creekville Kisses) by [Melanie Jacobson]

Title: Kiss and Tell
Series: Creekville Kisses #3
Author: Melanie Jacobson
Release Date: August 12th, 2022
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Her ex is back to hold her to a marriage pact they made ten years ago . . .

Tabitha Winters, glamorous celebrity chef, loves her life and growing empire in New York. But when her best friends buy the old summer camp where they worked as counselors, she can’t turn down their invitation to appear at the opening week fundraising gala . . . even if it means confronting the memories of her first love and its disastrous ending.

She never imagines she’ll run into Sawyer Reed again—her old flame has no business being at Oak Crest. And worse? He’s there to collect on a marriage pact they made ten years ago when they were clueless college kids.

But Tabitha never could resist a dare, and when Sawyer double dares her to give him a week to show her they still have their old magic, she’s all in to prove he’s wrong.

Only she doesn’t count on him knowing her better than he has a right to. Or having the perfect dates to charm her. And she definitely didn’t plan on their attraction still burning hotter than the end-of-season bonfire. But summer camp isn’t real life, and Tabitha won’t let the spell he’s weaving derail her well-planned future. Except no other guy has ever gotten to her the way Sawyer does, and as his knee-buckling kisses work their magic, Tabitha wonders: can she risk her heart again on the only man who ever broke it?

Book Review:

This was such a fun romcom! I honestly love the romcom genre so much. They always make me laugh and swoon. And Kiss and Tell was no exception.

Tabitha was definitely a strong personality. She was feisty and determined, but she had a tendency to hide her feelings. She didn’t want to show who she really was, so she hid herself behind pranks and games. I didn’t connect with her as much as I connected with Grace, but I still understood her. And I loved Natalie! She was so funny and definitely a little too opinionated 🙂

Sawyer was a sweetheart! I honestly didn’t like him that much in the beginning, but he definitely grew on me. It felt like he was playing too many games for me at first, but he knew that Tabitha would run away if he came on too strong. 

I thought it was cute to see how they helped each other relax and open up. They were still good together even though it had been nine years. And their banter made me laugh out loud!

We get to see all of our favorite characters again too! Of course Miss Lily, who is very willing to give Tabitha some advice. She always makes me laugh. And Grace is back too. I was happy to see their good sibling relationship 🙂 Overall this was a fun, cute book that I would recommend to any rom com fans!
