This was a sweet second chance holiday romance that had me feeling all the emotions. With themes of self-discovery and handling grief, I enjoyed it and it was refreshing to have the characters trying love once again, even being an older couple.

*many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review.

I really tried to give this book a chance, but the story wasn't that appealing to me and I think its mainly cause of the age gap between my own age and the characters as they are in their 60s and when I think of people that age I think of my grandparents.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

OHHHH such a comfy read to pick up during the holiday season!!

I really love christmas books and this one was not expection - cozy and cute and romantic.

I LOVE IT!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This cute Christmas book is perfect for the holiday season! It follows a later in life romance which is not often depicted and was nice to see.

This was a heartwarming tale of second chance love and the unexpected joys that life can bring. Determined to create exciting stories of her own, Susie embarks on a journey of self-discovery, embracing cooking courses, motorbike-riding lessons, and pole-dancing classes. It all takes an unexpected turn when she reunites with a man who understands her grief but becomes a source of joy.
I liked this one. It was a good read for those who want a heartwarming tale of love after loss.

This put me in the Christmas spirit! Always love light reading around Christmas time and this fit the bill!

This book was such a sweet story overall! I found myself having a number of emotions and reactions throughout reading it. With a storyline that incorporated grief and finding oneself, there was also a romance. I enjoy both Bob and Susie's characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for an advanced copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

This book was so good!!! It had me laughing out loud at times and it also made me sad but I loved it! This is a wonderful later in life story. It absolutely was a delight to read!

A cute Christmas rom com that was indeed a quick read and an a great escape. I really enjoyed this one.

What a great book! It was lovely meeting old friends from previous books and following their story. I especially liked the fact the main couple are not youngsters in their 20s or 30s but a little older. Good to show love doesn’t stop at 40, or 50, or any other age – and show that hobbies for over 40s don’t have to consist of crochet & knitting! Considering the seasonal-sounding title, it might be useful to mention that this story actually spans a whole year, so you really don't need to wait until you're in a Christmas mood to read it.

Sweet contemporary Christmas read with so many tropes! Our main characters Susie and Bob are an older couple who find a second chance at romance after the unfortunate death of both of their spouses. I did not realize this was book number 6 in a series which I probably would not have picked up beforehand if I did know.

The book Recipe for Mr. Christmas was an enjoyable read. I would recommend any book written by Anni Rose. Happy Reading!

This was a great easy Christmas read. Susie and Bob were loveable characters and were able to fall into this Christmas love story. A heartwarming tale of second chances, love, and the unexpected joys that life can bring. Susie Keane, mourning the loss of her husband, finds herself at a crossroads when she receives the annual Christmas card from the seemingly perfect Bailey family. Determined to create exciting stories of her own, Susie embarks on a journey of self-discovery, embracing cooking courses, motorbike-riding lessons, and pole-dancing classes. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when a school reunion introduces her to Bob Diamond, a man who not only understands her grief but also becomes the source of unexpected joy. As they navigate the complexities of loss and healing, Susie and Bob discover that sometimes, the most unexpected gifts are the ones that bring two lonely hearts together.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley.

This was a great easy Christmas read. Susie and Bob were loveable characters and were able to fall into this Christmas love story.

A bit slow and honestly I didn't know this was a series. I did love the side characters and loved second chance at love. Didn't understand a lot about the bikes, but that's ok and I loved the nursing home scenes, so funny.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. It was heartwarming and I liked all the characters!

This is a lovely, heartwarming holiday read!
Author, Annie Rose, has a gentle writing style that I enjoyed.
Second chance romance is in the cards for both leads as they maneuver losing a spouse.
It may be a bit predictable how the story plays out. But still, very enjoyable as it’s not meant to be suspenseful .
I definitely want to go back and read the series in order as there were a lot of characters that I didn’t know enough about to add depth to this particular story, but I just ignored them, knowing I would go back and read about them in other books.
I would recommend this book at this time of year for sure!

Thank you to author, Anni Rose, NetGalley, and Choc Lit publishing for the opportunity to read this book ahead of publication date.

I loved this book! I devoured it in only a few sittings and wish there was more to read. The story line was paced very well and the characters were easy to love!

Omg! 😭😍 this book was perfect! I didn’t expect them being an older couple, but it just made it so much better them over coming the loses and looking for the greater things in life. The book was written well, and had me hooked from the beginning!!
