Stephie… You, my dear, are amazing. This book was perfect in every way.

A great Christmas story about finding love in the middle of nowhere. First Christmas for Emma without her parents. Everything pointed out for a disaster of a holiday, but, in fact, it was going to be the most amazing Christmas ever. I liked JD for being so caring about Emma.
JD got stranded in a cabin with his cousin’s best friend when they found themselves in the middle of a blizzard.
Emma decided to spend her Christmas holidays with her best friend up in the mountains after having caught her boyfriend cheating on her. She has never imagined how that week was going to change her life.
Truth is that I’m not very fond of insta-love, but this one is so well-written and the chemistry between Emma and JD is so great that I really forget about it. It is romantic and sweet. The main characters and even the second one are wonderful (Well Emma not so much, as she is always crying out) A great Christmas story.
I love it when I finish a book and it leaves a silly smile on my face.
This novella is just the thing for the season. It is a quick-moving story that will warm your heart and make you smile. I enjoyed the friendship that Emma and Vole shared. The lighthearted, easygoing camaraderie that Emma and JD established was fun to witness. The epilogue was the perfect, leaving this reader filled with Christmas Cheer.
I enjoyed this charming Christmas novella. Holiday Hideaway was a delightful low angst read told from the h’s POV. I loved the romance between these two characters. They were perfectly suited to each other and I loved seeing their romance blossom. Although a short read, the author did a fantastic job with the characters, making it a story that will have you hooked from beginning to end. It was fast paced and entertaining and I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this novella to all lovers of Christmas romances.
Fun and flirty story. Great characters. Many lol moments. Chemistry was off the charts. Fast paced read that kept my interest from the first page to the last.

JD and Emma’s connection was electric. Despite this being a quick read, the chemistry between them sizzled and I was easily lost in their whirlwind romance. And can we have a moment to appreciate the book boyfriend that is JD! From the way he just breezes into being everything Emma needs to his adorable nickname for her I was in a just a puddle of wool over him.
Holiday Hideaway by was a quick, adorable holiday romance! Get some got chocolate ready, curl up in your favorite fuzzy socks, and get ready to soak up all the delicious insta-love, holiday goodness!
Excellent Holiday Romance
This is a sweet little Christmas romance read. It is just a novella, but the author was able to make the characters believable and relatable. The chemistry between the hero and the heroine was off the charts. For the bulk of the story, there’s no real major angst, so if you’re in the mood for a low-stress, gentle holiday romance that delivers the feels, this book could be just the ticket. JD is the perfect book boyfriend. I loved how he just unassumingly took on the role of exactly the kind of man that the heroine needed for her holiday (and life). But it wasn’t a put on; it was just him, his authentic self. Essentially, in this novella, these two strangers have to share a cabin during a blizzard. They make the most of it, first in a friendly way and then in a romantic way. The book is rare for a romance in that it is told solely from the perspective of the heroine. But the author did this well so that it felt as if we could understand JD as well. Just a delightful holiday romance, perfect for a cold and dark afternoon.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Holiday Hideaway by Stephie Walls was just like reading a Hallmark Christmas movie. It’s sweet, heartwarming, touched with a dash of sexiness! I was captivated by JD and Emma.
And their story. I mean who wouldnt want to be trapped with a sexy, hot alpha male during a snowstorm? Even if he is a stranger…. This Christmas romance will hit you right in the feels!!

“I deserved a man who would draw a line in the sand for me, who would go after what he wanted, who would work for a solution, not walk away without knowing whether there would even be a fight.”

Holiday Hideaway was a beautifully written, short Christmas story. 5 romantic stars!
I’m not big on reading Christmas themed novels, not sure why considering it’s my favorite holiday. But since Stephie is one of my top favorite authors I decided to give this a go. I’m so very glad I did. It was everything and more! Her writing is amazing and the storyline is every bit of sweet mixed with romance. It’s the perfect book to read snuggled up in bed or by the fire oh and JD is everything a man should be!
**ARC received from author for honest review**
This was a very satisfying holiday romance. Told completely through the heroines eyes, we experience every womans fantasy romantic holiday getaway. Even though the story opens with heartbreak for Emma, things quickly turn in another direction completely.
When Emma turns to her best friend for a getaway from her cheating man, she runs right into the man of her dreams. Queue an unexpected snow storm, cozy cabin, Christmas, cocktails and your best friends hot cousin, you have a good little Christmas romance. JD and Emma were just what this holiday needed. Emma finally met the man she really needed in JD and JD was the perfect romancing man. Sometimes we all need a little snow and ice to keep us inside together!
Oh and let me just say that I absolutely loved JD’s nickname for Emma….sparky! So cute and so fitting!
What a sweet story filled with romance, sizzling chemistry and a love of Christmas. This was the perfect holiday read for me as I love Christmas as much as Emma does, but also struggle in some ways as she does. JD is the perfect man as he cooks, loves Christmas and hot, hot, hot. A great book to put you in the holiday spirit.
I really enjoyed reading about JD and Emma and how they get to there happy ending. Emma has a very bad day and heads to a remote cabin for the week were she meets JD. They get snowed in at the cabin and end up learning a lot about each other.

This was a cute and quick holiday read. And no I’m not just saying that because it’s Stephie Walls. I’m saying because it’s true. Walls was able to write a heart warming story that also showed the chemistry of the characters, that didn’t take away from everything else that was going on.
I LOVED This Christmas Story!!! This was an awesome book that I really enjoyed. The story and characters grabbed me from the beginning and I couldn’t stop reading.

I found this book amazing with great word building making me feel apart of the story and watching it unfold in front of me. A definite must read for any fan and I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!

Emma Grant has always loved Christmas. But this year was different. Last Christmas had been the last holiday she’d spent with her parents before they had died in a car accident. This year would be her first Christmas alone. Her boyfriend, Carns, had promised that he would make it special. When she caught him cheating just two days before Christmas, she was devastated and heartbroken.
One bright spot in her life was to have the best friend ever in Cole Chandler. He was the one man on the entire planet that never had let her down. He was always there for her. But he would never be her lover, because he was gay. So when after catching her boyfriend cheating and ruining her Christmas. It was Cole who told her to getaway. His cousin JD had a cabin in the mountains of Tennessee. It would be the perfect holiday hideaway. So with a Christmas tree tied to the top of her car, she starts out on the four hour drive. But the white snow she had prayed to have for Christmas, turned it into a six hour trip. Finally when the cabin comes into view, she finds herself on a slippery slope. She makes a crashing entrance right into JD’s truck, with the Christmas tree sliding right off the car top unto the hood. Plus her car horn was stuck playing Jingle Bells.
If you are going to be snowed in for Christmas, she could not have wished for a more perfect man than JD. This man was an anomaly. He knew how to cook, knew how to dance and decorated for Christmas. He also was the best kisser, and best person to join her in the hot tub. If only they could stay hidden away forever, but problems, problems and more problems. But Best Darn Christmas, Ever!
