Ohhh Ms. Scarlett has another mystery that needs to be solved.
I loved this book, this series. It is standalone but I like knowing the characters. This book captivates you from the first page to the end, it’s full of the Magic of Love.
Layla Watson is a thirty two old human, who moved from Kansas to Lake of the Fates. A fresh new start owning “Layla’s Spin and Knit.” Layla was a master spinner and knitter, well known in the industry she was the best in the country. Layla heard a lot about a dating app that matched humans with shifters called Mate.com! After many weird questions she was done filling out her “Spinner Girl” profile.
Liam Nash is a Bear Shifter who has always been called Holiday Bear. He just loves the holidays especially Christmas. Every Christmas he open a Christmas Market where anyone can buy a booth to sell their crafts. This year was very special to him Mate.com found his 100% Fated Mate. Nothing could ruin it until he opened the broom closet?
A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.
She’s a master weaver. She has moved to Fate Valley to start over after a disappointing relationship. The Holiday Fair drew her and she made extra products to display and sell. Just before it started she and after a couple glasses of wine, she decided to sign up for a trustworthy shifter on mate.com.
He’d been waiting for a 100% match for years with no luck. Then they matched. The two hit it off. Their relationship is sweet and steamy. What any woman would want. But could she trust him?
When things seem to be going well they were interrupted by a….well you’ll need to read it.
I really enjoyed this story. It was touching and fun.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.
Holiday Bear is an adorable quick read.
ARC – I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Loved the book!
As always it is such a pleasure to read a book by Scarlett.
This was a such a sweet story.
I loved the storytelling.
I loved the characters.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
Fate Valley is the place to be for the Holidays, especially when a hunk of a bear called Holiday Bear is in charge of setting up the yearly Holiday Market not because he has to because he’s way wealthy, but because he loves it….But this year he’s kind of not in the Holiday mood he usually is and it’s probably because he is feeling lonely…..All his friends have found their mates through Mate.com, but Liam been waiting for years and nada. That is until he gets a ping on his cell.
Layla Watson has been living in Fate Valley for a year and already had a very bad experience in the love department, she has no hopes, or trust that it will ever happen for her, but what the heck she might as well sign up to Match.com just for fun….But when she gets a look at her 98% match, she goes gaga. No way, no how will that ever come to be for her. Time to set up her knitting display for the Holiday Market and lo and behold there he is in the yummy flesh!
Another win for Match.com and just in time for XMas.

Finding his festive spirit
Such a cute little Christmas story! I really enjoyed the characters and the way they connected right away, but took the time to learn about each other. The author gave us just the right amount of excitement with a mystery that was more than it seemed. This was my first experience with this author and I enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series and seeing what else the author has to offer.
I gave this 3 stars as it was a short read with not a lot of detail
