A Married Little Christmas by Abby Jimenez Review: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Collection

A Married Little Christmas is a delightful collection of three festive romances filled with humour, holiday magic and happily-ever-afters!

Summary:

This delightful collection of three feel-good Christmas novellas is filled with holiday cheer, romance, humour, and plenty of festive mishaps. In the first story, Anna’s disastrous Christmas dinner takes an unexpected turn when her high school ex arrives, forcing them into a fake-dating scheme to save face with their families. Next, Matty’s punishment for losing a bet has him spending the day dressed as a zombie Santa in a diner, but a cute and funny server may make the experience worthwhile. Finally, Lauren travels to the magical town of Little Christmas to stop her best friend from marrying someone after only three days, only to find herself falling for the best man. Along the way, readers can enjoy an unforgettable granny, accidentally matching Christmas sweaters, a Mission Impossible-style cat rescue involving a saxophone, mouthwatering recipes, and charming full-page illustrations.

My Thoughts:

Abby Jimenez is an auto-read author for me, so I was excited to see that she had a Christmas book publishing this year. A Married Little Christmas is a delightful collection of three short stories that capture all the warmth, romance, and humour of the holiday season. Each story is different, following characters finding love in some rather unexpected circumstances, from a disastrous Christmas dinner and an awkward fake-dating scheme to a zombie Santa working in a diner and a whirlwind romance in the magical town of Little Christmas.

I honestly can’t help but love everything about these stories. Although each has its own personality, they all deliver the wonderful sense of humour and romance I’ve come to expect from Abby Jimenez. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, charming characters, and heartwarming romantic moments throughout. These stories are a little more light-hearted than some of her usual emotionally driven novels, but I loved each one of them nonetheless. They were such a lovely way to get into the holiday spirit, and I found myself enjoying the entire collection from beginning to end.

The Narration:

I listened to the audiobook, which features a different set of narrators for each story. They were a perfect addition to the collection, bringing just the right amount of enthusiasm, humour, and heartwarming romance to each performance. I especially love when a narrator makes me feel as though I’m listening to the actual character, rather than someone simply reading a story, and that was certainly the case here. The narrators really brought these characters to life and made each story even more enjoyable.

Final Thoughts:

If you’re looking for a fun, romantic, and feel-good holiday read, A Married Little Christmas is a wonderful choice. Abby Jimenez has delivered three charming stories that are sure to leave you smiling and feeling a little more festive. This is one collection I’ll happily recommend adding to your holiday reading list!
