It’s Christmas in Cliffside Bay and babies are everywhere. We get to join in the fun and hysterics as kittens are lost while Honor and Brodie are away. That’s not it. This is a time for blessings and wonder with the Wags and Dogs and a few other friends and family. I love getting updates on the couples we know and love watching them all go through the changes as their families grow and their hearts expand. This author has made us fall in love with them all wanting to see more of them and more to fall in love with. Tis the season of love and family, a time to remember the true blessings of life.
Such a heartwarming and multi-emotional story of love and family. What could be better than the combination of Christmas, families, newborns and the days of the births and don’t forget the cat, Minnie.
I love reading anything Tess Thompson writes.

This is a reunion story for the couples in the Cliffside Bay series, sitting nicely between the completed series of the Dogs and the beginning of the Wolves. We’ve got kittens and babies and everything that will make your heart swoon, including one young lady who breaks Rafael’s heart, freeing him up for his romance with Lisa.
This book was so sweet, so heartwarming, so filled with all the emotions and humor we’ve come to expect from this author. If Cliffside Bay were a real place, I’d pack up and move there. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I loved this book. Ms. Thompson creates a wonderful place for people to live in. I would like her characters as friends and family if they were real. I always feel peaceful after I read about this town and characters. They had the kind of Christmas I think most people would love.
It was nice to have a review of all the important people of Cliffside Bay and be updated on all their happenings – namely babies. Looking forward to the next chapters of the goings on of this cozy little town.

Must read!
The beauty of Christmas surrounds Cliffside Bay thanks to the magical pen of Tess Thompson. The words pulled me from early spring for a look back to a town created for this series. Lights twinkling, shoppers hurrying, the gathering of families and friends, businesses booming to grow this town…….and babies. The long wait for babies, unexpected. Honor and Kara will hold sweet babies……one with the help of a surrogate, one to begin a family the other never expected to happen. This is a beautiful visit back to Cliffside Bay. Bits of the author’s development of these characters makes this a sweet reminder of their pasts and what brought them together. Well done, Tess. I received an ARC of this book for early review…beautiful continuation of a wonderful series.
A cute and sweet story of the Dogs and Wags and growing their families.. I didn’t get any real since of it being Christmassy story just that it happened at Christmas time.. it’s a sweet short story of what was going on when the babies came at Christmas Time in Cliffside Bay..
Tess Thompson brings fans of the Cliffside Bay series a touch of the holiday spirit a bit early this year. While the rest of this series can be read as standalones, this novella cannot.
Now that the original group of friends the Dogs have all found their happy ever afters, it’s time to do a bit catching up with each couple and their growing families.
The main focus of this story are couples Brody and Kara and Honor and Zane . . . along with Zane’s sister and surrogate Sophie. With the holidays right around the corner, two little Christmas miracles are on their way in spectacular style and the entire group of friends and extended family are ready to welcome the newest additions to their group!
I had so much love for this novella! Honestly, I was super excited for the arrival of these babies because both of these couples fought so hard for their happy ever afters as well as conceiving. I enjoyed that every couple had a small spotlight as they stopped to celebrate the Christmas babies and that we got to catch a glimpse into how each couple was spending the Christmas holiday.
Standouts are Sophie who acted as a surrogate for her brother and Honor as well as Rafael and young Jubie who find their own little Christmas surprises!
Tess Thompson does an amazing job of celebrating such a close knit group or friends who have all had one another’s backs through thick and thin. It’s been lovely watching them grow as friends and couples.
5 stars for this super sweet and emotional holiday novella!
Cute and sweet short read. It’s a quick peak into Cliffside Bay sweethearts. My favorites are Brody and Kara and it was adorable to read about them and get an insight of Brody dealing with his dad’s death. We get to read Honor, Zane, Sophie and surprise Zubie POV. You’ll read this novella with a permanent smile on your face.
Great novella to update you on your favorite characters from Cliffside Bay!
Follow along as the crew as they await the arrivals of the new babies, and Tess will have you laughing along with the antics that happen and the surprises that come! 5 stars for this one, it’s a novella so I’m not going to go into details of the book, just know that you will love this one as you will with ALL the Cliffside Bay books! Grab this asap!
If you love stories that transport you into a different world, with characters that feel as real as family, and friendships that will last as lifetime then Cliffside Bay Christmas is the book for you.
I loved being back in Cliffside Bay with the Dogs, Wags, and their Families. Christmas is an exciting time of the year for many, and this Christmas in Cliffside Bay brought on miracles, love, hope, babies and a kitty mystery.
I am so fortunate to have received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this honest review are my own.
Thompson and the Cliffside Bay gang are back to show us that making memories and sharing love is an all year round event. From growing families to strengthening friendships, catching up is a heartwarming pleasure in Cliffside Bay. Another one click MUST HAVE.
Tess Thompson’s Cliffside Bay always steals my heart and this one is no exception. She brings all the Dogs and Wags together for Christmas while some couples are adding to their families. I really love how real this book is dealing with the emotions of babies coming into the world. It’s not like the movies! And Tess Thompson really captures that.
