I bloody loved this book 🥰

With the chaos of getting home for Christmas and some hella cute scenes, 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 is the perfect festive rom-com!

Our main characters, Molly and Andrew had great banter and I loved to see their friendship grow with each flight home.

THE THROBBING MEMBERS REVIEW: Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

I can't believe I enjoyed a romance between a business major and someone who works in marketing. -Catherine

This was fine, but you can and should skip the epilogue. -Lily

Did not read this book because she genuinely didn't think we were going to meet today. -Sarah

Did not read this book because she had no idea that that she was supposed to read this book. -Smurf

Did not read this book because Smurf did not tell her to. -Cindy

Dream Cast

Megan

Christian

Theme Song: Homesick by Noah Kahan

Summary: Megan has to go back to her hometown for Christmas after leaving her fiance at the altar 5 years ago. She decides she needs a fake boyfriend to face her village and Christian is the man for the job.

Review:

I love Christmas! At the time of writing this, it is almost February so the memory of this book is quickly fading. I really enjoyed the writing style and the dialogue between Megan and Christian. They felt like real people and I really believed in their relationship. If anything, this book could have leaned in to the season even more. They felt very real, but they could have used some classic, romance novel stupidity. Why did Christian keep his corporate job instead of coming home to take over the family farm? Why did Megan prefer her life in the big city when she could be frolicking in the Irish countryside? I would have taken a couple more ridiculous tropey subplots because that’s fun! I still really liked it and would willingly read more Christmas romance novels even though it’s almost Valentine's Day.

-Margo

7/10 stars

Additional Ratings

Sexy Sex: 7/10

They tried to have sex in a car but they got caught. Points for effort.

Trauma Score: 10/10

She had to return to her HOMETOWN. Horrifying.

Nicknames: No Score

They decided not to use any pet names for each other early on and they didn't. Score one for the anti-pet name agenda.

Notes: This book really emphasizes how you should never EVER visit your hometown.

15 of My Favorite Holiday Romance Books

It’s that time of year! October officially kicks off the start of holiday romance season, and I’m just fine with that. I love reading a cute Christmas story, a festive and feel good read, or a hot holiday novella as we head towards the end of the year. There are some spectacular full-length books on this list, but this is also the only season when I like to indulge in quick, festive novellas. As…

It’s the most wonderful time of the reading year, when Christmas books take over, and our hearts grow bigger while we kick our feet and scream through the best types of stories. Snowed In by Catherine Walsh, a companion to her gorgeous hit from last year, Holiday Romance, is a thoroughly hilarious fake-dating spectacle.

Walsh throws us straight into the trenches with a runaway bride, leaving readers wondering why and how before jumping five years into the future, where we reunite with our heroine, Megan O’Sullivan, at a local pub. (And the why we uncover later on hits like a ton of bricks but no spoilers.) There, we also reacquaint ourselves with the last person we saw at the failed wedding, Christian Fitzpatrick. The stars align, and one failed date leads to a proposition that’s hard to ignore, throwing us toward the start of a relationship that’s easy to invest in.

A Review of Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

Rating 4.5 Stars

I have always loved a good Christmas, rom-com, especially set in a little village, this one in Ireland. I love the winter wonderland feel of Christmas rom-coms, especially this one as they are literally snowed in to the cabin. Walsh did a really good job developing the characters to have their own personalities, not cookie cutter versions of each other like some books favor. I do also enjoy a good fake dating book as they usually bring some humor to the story. Christian was not a hard character to fall in love with.

I read this as a stand alone, not fully knowing when I started that it was part of the Holiday Romance book series. I have personally not read Holiday Romance however might because Catherine Walsh has a great writing style.

This book was amazing, however there was one thing that was hard for me. It almost felt as though half way through the book the story line was finished, and then a second one started. I had to take a break in the middle of the book and read another book before continuing.

thank you netgalley, bookouture and catherine walsh for sending me this arc!

Peter Tork and his grandmother, Catherine McGuire Straus (in photo 2 at the premiere of Head, 1968; photo by Art Zelin/Getty Images).

“One of my favorite people in the world is my ‘Grams,’ Mrs. Catherine McGuire Straus. She lives in Manhattan in the West 50’s. She calls Colgems regularly to check on our record sales, keeps an enormous scrapbook on the activities of the Monkees (favoring me a little bit, of course), and she visits all the record stores regularly to make sure that they are well stocked with Monkees singles and LP’s.” - Peter Tork, 16’s The Monkees: Here We Are (1967)

Many are no doubt familiar with Peter’s grandmother’s contributions to U.S. teen magazines. A few things that might have have fallen through the cracks of Tork and Monkees history are his grandmother’s letters to two British music magazines in 1967...

“As the grandmother of one Monkee, Peter Tork, I have received hundreds of delightful letters from British fans of the Monkees. Recently there have been complaints that some magazines do not print pictures of Peter when they are doing a story on the Monkees. But I find Monkee pictures fairly well distributed in all the pop magazines, though Davy Jones more or less rules the roost! Also received complaints about Peter not appearing with his co-Monkees when they were in London in February. I would assume that the working hours he has every day, seven days a week, are not conducive to his spending a vacation with one’s workers. And I assure you Peter has a mind of his own, so he couldn’t be persuaded to join them. He’s at last been seen and heard — ‘fine’ by his British fans. Do hope the concerts were a SMASHING success — to use a Britishism!” - Catherine McGuire Straus, Disc & Music Echo, July 15, 1967

“Having belatedly read the article by Jeremy Walsh on the Monkees, as the grandmother of one Monkee — Peter Tork — I resent it. It seems to me unnecessarily nasty and rude. His attacks on the group are peculiarly venomous, considering that the Monkees cannot have done anything to promote such anger and, in fact, are the delight of most critics. Well, there’s no use laboring the point. One can only wonder why the hostility. And why make comparisons with the Beatles. Either the Monkees are good in their own right or they’re not. There’s nothing else to consider, is there. Incidentally Peter was marked for the academic world, where both his parents teach. He flunked out of college twice. After his sojourn in Greenwich Village and the concert tours, decided he’d head for the West Coast and Hollywood — every actor’s Mecca. Over 400 applicants auditioned for the Monkees — Peter was one of the four selected and so the Monkees were born etc. Last, but not least, the U.S.A. helped to bring fame and fortune to the Beatles and their super manager, Brian Epstein. Let the British do likewise for the Monkees.” - Sincerely yours, Catherine McG. Straus, Record Mirror, April 8, 1967

“I received hundreds of delightful letters, many of which I answered, in answer to my protest about the article on the Monkees by Jeremy Walsh. All I want is for these charming teenagers to know how grateful I am for their love and devotion to the Monkees.” - Catherine McG. Straus, Record Mirror, June 17, 1967

Here’s part of the opinion of one Jeremy Walsh, referenced by Peter’s grandmother:

“If four good-looking boys, with no talent, can top the charts — can beat the sales of real stars — then it’s all worthless. I’m not saying they can’t play at all. I’m saying that they can’t play well. I’m also saying that their TV series, fount of 90 per cent of their disc fame, is blatantly based on the earlier Beatle films… and that they owe a lot of their disc hits to Beatle influences. I’d feel less strongly about them if only they had tried to adapt something completely new. It’s like some massive act of retaliation by the Americans, still smarting over Beatle-domination. […] The Monkee business really makes me smart. The only consolation is that it should be a short craze. Several people will make their million, then cheerfully abandon the whole project.” - Jeremy Walsh, Record Mirror, February 4, 1967

15 Sexy Travel/Road Trip Romance Books

This romance trope is a personal favorite of mine, because I love the forced proximity and constant contact that comes from traveling together.

Doctor Who is coming back! We don’t know exactly when the specials are coming out this year, but we do know they come back for the 60th anniversary in November. So what’s a fan to do? Why, write a genuinely shocking amount of blog posts counting us down, of course! What’s even worse is I wrote most of these in one month, because I am obsessed with this show.
