Cute holiday romance. I found it to be a little predictable, however that’s somewhat expected for a novella where there isn’t going to be much plot. That being said, this was a great book to read in between others as it was nice and light. Also got me in the mood for the holidays. Bonus that there are cats involved.

One hundred lights is a nice, light hearted read with lovely characters and an enjoyable storyline throughout.

A really enjoyable story, i was hooked immediately. I must admit i hated them in the other books! but I must say it was nice to have more insight and a different perspective on their story

highly recommend this series!

This story was a cute, quick weekend read. I enjoyed the banter between Adrian and Britt and how they are meant to be.

This book was actually a prequel to her Hart Sisters Trilogy, and the first book of Chrissy Hopewell’s book I have read. I will be reading the Trilogy next to get to know more about Reese (the ex wife) and her HEA.

This was a good read! I really enjoyed the plot and the characters. The story was well written and engaging. I would definitely recommend!

One Hundred Lights by Chrissy Hopewell was such an enjoyable holiday romance novella.
A quick, fun and easy read.
With sweet and engaging characters who I absolutely adored.
This was a book I truly couldn’t put down - I read it in two sittings, all in one day!

After reading this one Im definitely going to be checking out The Hart Sisters series.

Thank You NetGalley and Fox Hollow Publishing for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

I received this book as an arc through NetGalley and I’m so glad I read it. It is a sweet holiday themed novella and I really enjoyed reading. The FMC and MMC are a little questionable as their attraction began while he was married but in their defence they didn’t act on their attraction until the divorce was final. It’s a mild spice novella with some cute cat names (ie: “Captain Underpants” lol) and a really sweet story. Can’t wait to add this novella to my bookshelf!
I rated it 4⭐️!

Ive never read any of the other books in the series but don’t feel like I missed out or needed to read the others to grasp the story. It’s a really quick read, with a festive holiday feel and I feel it’s definitely a book to read if you don’t want something to serious or deep or your in a slump.
My one question is how do you stop a hundred boxes of lights from tangling up next Christmas because let’s face it that’s a heck of a lot of fairy lights and they always tangle up lol!

Adrian & Britt!!

Rounding to 4 ⭐️

I was so hesitant to and nervous to read this book. Falling for your besties husband?? How dare she?? I was curious to see if there is a world where that would be okay and honestly this book solidified that there can be a HEA and they deserved it to explore their relationship.

Silly me, I didn't read these in order and really wish I did but for a fun and sexy holiday novella, this was a fun treat!

I just wished we could have had more! It felt too short to me personally.

I do have to say that I loved Chrissy's writing especially in Adrian's POV.

Spice: 🌶️
Rating: 3.75
10/10 Recommend to a friend that's interested in a love story between a gal and her besties husband. (Such a new and interesting dynamic)

Thank you for NetGalley & Chrissy for this E-ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm so exited to read the rest of the series.

a cute Christmas novella that contains all you would want at this time of year - thank you for the advanced reader's copy!

A must read!

Thank you to Chrissy Hopewell and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Just remember its a Prequel Novella - We all wanted to it be longer and more........ that being said it is warming you up for the first book.

Gives me all the Christmas vibes with some spice.

Britt is friends with Reese, but falls in love with her husband Adrian. Even if he doesn’t cheat, they divorce and Britt tries to stay away from both of them.
So a friendship and a marriage are ended.

But after 6 months Britt and Adrian work together and help decorate their kids’ holiday dance.

‘One Hundred Lights,’ is a Christmas novella focusing on Britt and Adrian. Britt is a headstrong single mother who runs a tech agency but this Christmas just wants to make the Christmas party for her son a magical night. Adrian has just had a recent divorce and is figuring out what he wants from life. Britt and Adrian’s families were previously close friends until Britt confessed her feelings for Adrian splitting from the friendship.

The Christmas vibes in this book were so enjoyable. I loved the Christmas party scene and the hunting for lights concept both brought a joyful atmosphere to a plot that seems heavy otherwise. The sub-characters were a great addition to the plot and I am excited to read the rest of the series and understand everyone's narratives.

I should have read more into the tropes before picking up the novella. The characters individually have promise and come across genuine at times, their regrets are palpable. However, I just do not like the relationship. The nearly cheating trope is just not for me. The complicated relationship with Adrian’s ex-wife and Britt was really hard to read at times (which is the desired effect I guess) but Britt's attempts to reconcile and the idea they could continue to be friends after a degradation of a marriage made me really dislike Britt.

I would recommend this book to people who are interested in darker romances or tropes that have more complications than your standard romance convention. I would recommend for anyone to read it before Christmas as it was a good Christmas read.

Thank you to #netgalley for this edition of #onehundredlights

Thank you to NetGalley, Fox Hollow Publishing and Chrissy Hopewell for allowing me to ARC read for ‘One Hundred Lights.’

This was an easy to read novella.
It is short, I estimate around 100 pages, but I still enjoyed this.
The characters were fun, things felt a little rushed due to the short nature of the book, but I found I didn’t care.
I loved the festive/ romance themes and the journey of overcoming what other people think.

I’d recommend adding this to your TBR for those who want a short, festive read to get them into the spirit.

This Christmas romance definitely grabbed my attention, I could have done with more intensity but overall I enjoyed it.

Britt and Adrian are single parents. Britt used to be best friends with Adrian and his then wife Reese. I loved the banter and the spice but I don’t think the cheating but not really cheating trope is for me. Coupled with not being a girls’ girl and it’s your best friend and I’m out.

If none of that bothers you in a book and you can look at it as just a steamy holiday story, this is for you. It’s a prequel and I am going to read the other books since I really do like Chrissy Hopewell’s writing style. Super cute holiday cover too!

Thank you to Chrissy Hopewell, Fox Hollow Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC

I was sceptical as to whether I’d enjoy this one - since it features a best friend and ex-husband getting together, so mild cheating vibes.

The FMC Britt, however, won me over from the first chapter. She seemed genuinely remorseful about the betrayal of her best friend, and whilst mourning the loss of that friendship she’s allowing her space and distance. This is a level of maturity that is rarely seen in these types of romance plots, where the main characters don’t want to take responsibility for their actions and instead try to place blame on a failing marriage etc.

This seems like a unique situation, they met first and essentially fell for each other. Then reconnected years later when he was married - she then became best friends with his wife.

Overall I enjoyed this - I was sceptical as I hate cheating as a trope, but this was a different take. They regretted their actions and worked through the guilt, and I genuinely felt that they belonged together. A cute Christmas novella despite the circumstances of their relationship.

Now to go back and read the others in the series - as this got me invested in their stories.

A really sweet, quick and steamy novella. I really enjoyed, I just wish it was a little longer and there was a little bit more drama
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this

I really enjoyed this book! It was definitely fast paced with a good storyline! The only thing is, in the one chapter, I NEEDED to know what Liz was going to say and we were left on a cliffhanger to decide for ourselves 😂😅

Chrissy Hopewell this is such a darling book! It gave all the holiday lights and just the most darling story. Loved the main characters and their honesty.

This novella follows Britt, a single mom who falls in love with her best friend’s husband, Adrian. The angst is palpable, making you wish you could fix it for her. Britt distances herself from her best friend and Adrian, focusing on her son—until Adrian shows up to help with a school dance party, reigniting their connection. Though I usually avoid this trope, the author handles it well, showing the complexities of their emotions. It’s a short read, but the backstory and inner struggles are well-developed.
