This is the first book of Jackie Paxson that I’ve read and it won’t be the last! I loved it! It had me laughing so much I was crying! I loved Cierra and Justin! They were perfect together! The story was great along with wonderful characters!
The Ugly Christmas Sweater is a wonderful Christmas romance! I’m sure you’ll love it too!
I thoroughly enjoyed this romcom. My face was aching from smiling so much and there are so many laugh out loud moments too. I fell in love with the whole book.
There were a few despicable characters that had my hackles rising but there are so many loveable and funny ones too, that I chuckled my way through the whole book far too quickly. The animals added to the hilarity really well.
Justin is a good looking, smart, sexy man-god and I really fell for him fast. From their first meeting to the last page I was his. Cierra is so clumsy that it’s comical; I do know a few people as accident-prone as her so I could relate. Her interactions with everyone are so unfiltered and funny that I feel I could easily be her friend.
Their slow-burn love story is compelling and addicting, I would love to read the other characters stories too. There are some great friends in this group and I just know their romances would be equally fun and swoony.
This is my first book by Jackie Paxson and I will be looking out for more in future.
Cierra perfect man came into her coffee shop every morning for his caffeine hit. But all Cierra does, is drool over his perfect butt as he leaves the store. On a night out with her friends, Cierra agrees to go to her friend Trina’s ugly sweater office party. Having been to these events before, Cierra parks herself at the bar with her vodka and pineapple – or many vodka and pineapples! When Mr. McSexypants asks her to dance it’s as if the world has faded away and it’s just the two of them. As they sneak away, Cierra starts to regret the drinks and proceeds to vomit all over the gorgeous guy. Turns out, Mr. McSexypants is the same as Mr. perfect butt, much to Cierra’s mortification! This is a fun contemporary romance, which builds into the bedroom rather than jumping right in. The book is well written, the story a lot of fun, with a touch of conflict, and many secondary characters that add to the overall enjoyment. If we’re lucky, maybe Cierra’s friends Dinah and Trina will get their own stories.
This was a super hot story with great dialog. It made me want to know more of the characters with every page I turned. I loved the slow build of Justin and Cierra’s relationship. It makes it all the more better when they finally give in and take things to the next level.
Paxson finds a way to make you smile while breaking off a little piece of your heart. The Ugly Christmas Sweater takes on heartwarming whimsy while delivering some age old advice. Cierra speaks to the vulnerability that we all have, but have a hard time showing. Justin is the sweet dream that’s always been there waiting for the heart to take notice. With an obvious message and charming presentation, The Ugly Christmas Sweater is a gem of a read.
Omg this is my first by this author and it was so much better than I anticipated! It was the perfect combination of humor and romance for this rom/com i laughed until my sides ached and swooned Ciarra is so relatable as a character which made her all the more enchanting and Justin well what can i say a hunk that has such a wonderful heart! Definitely a brilliant festive read. That i recommend to anyone who loves a good rom/com festive story
This was a fun contemporary romance. Cierra goes to an ugly sweater party with one of her best friends. She’s been to these parties in the past and ends up getting so drunk she pukes on the one person she has been admiring for months. Justin has wanted Cierra since the first moment he laid eyes on her but was to afraid to ask her out. He takes his chance at his company’s Christmas party and even holds her hair while she pukes. These two were adorable and had me smiling throughout the story. Though I will admit there were a few times I wanted to seriously smack Cierra. I liked Justin because he refused to let anything get in the way of their love, even if that person was Cierra herself. There was a great cast of secondary characters; all of whom I would love to read their stories. There was even a apologetic manipulative mother involved. In all, this book was cute and a great way to get me into the Christmas spirit. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
I loved Cierra and Justin’s well developed with plenty of chemistry throughout the pages between them. One ugly sweater leads to so much more.

Uproariously Hilarious!
OMG!! This is rip-roaringly hilarious! The sassy, quick-witted women (and odd pet) are AWESOME! Throw in a some hot guys – gay and straight – and a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs and you have a MUST-READ book. A special shoutout to the older adults (yeah, Mrs B, that includes you!) who add amazing color to the story. This is quite possibly THE funniest rom-com I’ve ever read. I LOVE EVERYTHING!
UPDATED 1/2021: I really do love this book and the cast of characters! …And there are plenty of characters – old, young, and in the middle, cats, dogs, and a foul-mouthed bird.
I had the pleasure of listening to the audio for the second time through with narrator Joy Reade. I enjoyed her voice as she brought the story to life. There isn’t always much difference between characters’ voices but overall, I liked her. Whether you prefer to read or listen, I’d recommend that you add this to your list of books to enjoy!
Story: 5 stars
Narration: 3.5 stars
Such a good book. I laughed throughout the entire book. Justin was at a bar when a girl got sick all over his shoes. However, he did not remember who she was. Cierra got drunk and made a fool of herself in front of the sexiest guy in the bar. Will Justin remember who it was that got sick on his shoes?

A laugh out loud story with a cast of characters who were engaging and entertaining. I loved his character and I enjoyed her antics. A wonderfully crafted story that was a joy to read.
I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review.
Cierra attends a party with her friend wearing an ugly Christmas sweater. There she meets Justin where she unfortunately throws up on his shoes after having too many drinks. Justin is not upset at all about what happened and wants to spend more time with her. They have some bumps along the way. Can they find their happiness?

Cierra works at Two Beans and a Latte and the highlight for the past few months has been a customer who wears an Armani suit. Invited to attend her best friends work party she is wearing the worst ugly Christmas sweater picked by her friend, bored by guys picking her up, leads her to the bar, and vodka pineapples lots of vodka pineapples as it would turn out! Cierra comes face to face with the mysterious man from the coffee shop. Cierras internal monologue breaks down and she says what she is thinking much to his amusement. Justin is pulled to Cierra, he has liked her from afar, but as he gets to know her, and the people in her life – he can’t stay away!
This is one of the best books I’ve read this year! From the POV of Cierra it’s humourous, heartwarming, filled with characters that are so realistic, hilarious situations (with animals, neighbours, parents and best friends) with witty dialogue that had me laughing out loud many times – it’s pure joy to read! Told from Cierra’s POV intimately describes her feelings, emotions and monologues that will have a reader laugh with her as she navigates through the crazy beautiful world she lives in and capturing the heart of her handsome, swoonworthy, adorable CEO!!!! Recommended!!!! Worth more than 5 stars!
OMG I loved this! Christmas really is the season of goodwill and cheer and this has me in stitches! It’s well written and funny as well as a bit hot and romantic and you will just love the characters and their interactions! A great Christmas romance.
A well written Christmas story of suspense, drama, mystery and romance. I enjoyed reading Cierra and Justin’s story, I ended up laughing at somethings as I read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Holidays and everything to much at the moment, the grab this tale, sit back and loose yourself in a story that will have you laughing so much you will not want to get up. Justin and Cierra’s characters are just what you need with their, their parents are over the top. If this does not get you in the season, than I am not sure what will. Definitely a must read.

This is a first time author for me, and I am so glad to have read this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I was giggling during this entire time reading. The characters are well developed and the friends are spot on in helping, goading and being there for support. I loved Cierra with her no filter and Justin, a big enough man to admit when he needed to make amends. I will be looking forward to reading more by this author in the near future.

This was the first book that I have read from this author and was not sure what to expect. So I was going in open minded. In the first couple of pages I was not so sure that this was going to be my kind of book, but I am really glad that I kept going. I really enjoyed reading this book. This book not only had romance, but suspense and mystery as well.
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Cierra and Justin have funny start to their relationship. This book is full of humor, drama and love. I thought these two were perfect for each other. Justin is going to take advantage of this opportunity to grab Cierra and not let her go. The book is well written and gives you a great hea.

Received a free copy from author for a review. I loved every minute of this story. You can’t help but laugh out loud at some points and in others you groan. Justin and Cierra are fantastic characters.
