This is the 2nd book I read by Allyson R. Abbott. I’m sorry I stopped reading this story at chapter 3 because it didn’t grab my interest.
In this comedy of errors, Mel finds herself in the middle of mayhem and multiple disasters. Considering the events leading up to her arrival at her aunt’s house in Spain, it’s a wonder that she didn’t fall apart completely. Fortunately, she has Lucas looking out for her. As with other books by this author, the novel is both amusing and clean with everyone finding their happy ending. It is most suited to young adults, but can be read by any age group. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This one too me a bit to get into, but I enjoyed the story. I really liked Lucas. One of my favorite things in the book is the humor because it lightens up the book when some seriousness is happening. It’s a nice fast holiday read.

Christmas Kiss
Book 2
By Allyson R. Abbott
This is a sweet romance story, dealing with language barriers. A great story for the young adults and anybody who would enjoy a good clean romance.
When two strangers come to meet and neither one understands the other. Mel helps out her mother on request. She has flown to Spain, to house sit for her aunt Rose. Mel has no clue what she is about to walk into. Once in Spain, nothing is as she remembers. Not only that but she must learn to communicate, and to understand a foreign language. Challenges are in place and now she must adapt. Or lose the gorgeous young man who is there to help her.
Allyson Abbott has opened up a whole new world for me. Learning to adapt in a foreign country. Who knew? Not me! Having never left the USA. This story really opened my eyes. I absolutely fell in love with Mel and Lucas, their struggles were real. Their love was even better. Well done Allyson R. Abbott! Looking forward to reading the rest in this series.
“A Tangy Christmas Kiss” is the second novella in the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott, but these are stand alones so they do not need to be read in any particular order that I’ve seen so far. This lovely story follows Mel, whose mother called last minute to get Mel to Spain to help her aunt after a surgery. Mel’s trip shows her the kindness of strangers and learning to accept help when it is offered as she figures out she isn’t as independent as she thought. The great lessons, wonderful characters and scenery all make this story perfect for Christmas! As an animal lover, the smaller theme of animals that seems to crop up in both books is a great added touch! These easy to read stories make for a nice afternoon in on a cold winter day! So, I give “A Tangy Christmas Kiss” four stars!
A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott. This is such a fun series! I read all of them one right after the other. This is the story of city girl Mel who gets roped into flying to Spain to house sit of her aunt. It being a bungalow on the beach in Spain, she’s left wondering why her Mother is not jumping on it. She also has to leave right now, what’s the big rush she wonders. On her flight to Spain she starts getting more nervous as she doesn’t speak a lick of Spanish. The trip takes forever and she misses her lift to her house. Not knowing the language she’s scared & doesn’t know what to do. The handsome Spanish stranger she sat by on the flight just happens to help her even though she doesn’t understand a word he’s saying. Romance follows. Such a sweet, holiday love story. I loved it!
If your not feeling very festive well this novel will help put you in the mood. This is the second book of the series and i was once again pulled in right from the beginning and completely hooked! I absolutley love the author’s writing style it’s written in a way that you can visualise everything that’s going on so you feel like your there.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
Four Stars
A little twist for the holidays. When Mel finds herself in a country where she doesn’t know the language who would’ve guessed that love would be in the air. I guess that’s one language everyone knows even when they don’t speak the same language. I liked that the author brought another culture into play and used the language instead of just having the characters speak English. The story was good even though it was not believable.
A Tangy Christmas Kiss is book two in the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott. It is a clever little christmas romance that was short, sexy and oh, so sweet. Mel is a hot mess and finds herself in a foreign country where she doesn’t speak the native tongue. But she does know the language of love, and sets about to find her happy ever after. It is a highly entertaining story that will make you laugh hard and loud, and your heart melt in a puddle of gooey sweetness. 5 stars for this wonderfully festive fiction.
A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in Allyson R Abbott’s Christmas Kiss series. All these stories are standalones so you can pick them up in any order – it is the Christmas and Kisses that they have as the common element!
I love the way Allyson spins the story … she is warm and you feel invited into the story and it is so easy to briefly close your eyes and picture it all, smell it all, and hear it all … All the stories are perfect for holidays, they leave you starry eyed and feeling warm and fuzzy!
A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the story of love finding a way whether you can speak to each other or not, language barrier cannot stop what is to happen! Melanie had less than 12 hours to pack her bags and fly to Spain to housesit for her aunt while she is in hospital and you can imagine that everything happening at such a short notice, everything that can go wrong, will do so! Mel happens to sit next to a nice Spanish guy during the last leg of her series of flights and he will become her savior even though does not speak any English … and then enters her aunt’s neighbour who feels it is him who should assist her … and then and then and then …
Pick up a copy and find out if what happens in Spain stays in Spain and when strangers meet!
A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R Abbott was not one of my favorites but I do not think that the was bad. It’s just a personal preference I guess and the book was well written.
Mel has to change her plans and go spend time In Spain to help out at her Aunt Rosa’s house. It turns out to be a lot more then just house sitting.
The book was busy and kept me interested for the most part. There was a language barrier between Mel and a friend she makes and the book has the male character speaking Spanish and Mel trying to understand it and it was just a bit annoying in my personal opinion. With that being said, I did like storyline and do enjoy this authors writing.
A Tangy Christmas Kiss
By Allyson R. Abbott
This is the second book in the Christmas kiss series and can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed reading the funny antics, sweet romance and so much more. Mel is a wonderful character that is having a crazy and rough time traveling to Spain to house sit for her aunt. We can all relate to the craziness of traveling that’s for sure and it’s made more difficult for Mel with the language barrier. Language barrier or not when a hot stranger offers help you cant help but swoon a little. This story definitely has the magic of Christmas in it. This story is a fun and sweet read that should not be missed. I highly recommend this book.
This book is definitely a seasonal must read! A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss Series by Allyson R. Abbott. This story follows Melanie “Mel” on her curious adventure to Spain. Mel’s mother calls her out of the blue to ask her to go to Spain to help her Aunt while she recovers from surgery. So basically anything that could go wrong on this trip happens. The upside to this is the sexy man that sat next to her on the plan. He decides to help her even though he doesn’t speak any English and she doesn’t speak any Spanish! All the while Mel doesn’t seem too concerned as to why her mother couldn’t go to Spain. But you have to read to find out why! So, basically this story is full of funny and quirky moments that keep you laughing and wondering what’s going to happen next. If this book doesn’t put you in the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will! Allyson has such a way with her books that the stories have so many unexpected twists that pull you in and have you on your toes wanting to see what’s going to happen next! This is such a sweet story that you really don’t want to put it down. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to see what kind of romantic adventure we take ourselves on! Again…this is a Christmas must read!
A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a five star novel. I loved this book and all the twists and turns! When Mel learns she has to go to Spain, she is very confused and has no clue what she is going to do there. All she knows is her mom is insisting she go. She needs to go take care of her Aunt Rosa who is having surgery. After traveling for days, she is ready to just have a melt down and fly back to the states. Why is everything so hard? She meets a guy who decides to help her out even though they don’t speak the same language. She and then we guy have a lot of issues but can they make it work for a Christmas romance? Definitely not speaking the same language is difficult!
A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. I was hoping for a connection between this book and the first but there isn’t so it can be read as a standalone.
Mel flys to Spain last minute to help her Aunt and act as a stand in for her Mom. After an incredibly long trip she finally gets on her last flight only to find she is sitting next to a very good looking man.
Lucas is an absolute sweetheart and he falls for Mel immediately and offers to help her get to her Aunt’s place and so much more.
For a short story a lot of things happen, especially to poor Mel. This is a sweet love story and I’m looking forward to finishing up this series.
Sweet Holiday Romance. When I read the description I was a little turned off because it seemed like a bad rom com movie. But I was pleasantly surprised by the store and enjoyed the character of Mel. She was cute, funny, and entertaining to read. Very short read, could finish in a single setting but if you are looking for a cute, fun, fast, holiday story, this is the book for you!
