The Christmas List: A Small town, single dad, holiday romance (Strawberry Hollow Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 2,641 ratings

From bestselling author of The Mistletoe Bet, Maren Moore comes a brand new second chance, single dad, holiday novella full of Christmas sugar and spice.



I
love Christmas.
So much so that in my smalltown I’m known as The Queen of Christmas.
And no one knows holiday festivities quite like Strawberry Hollow.


Only this Christmas season delivers an unexpected twist in the form of Wyatt Owens.
The handsome single father of my new student…
Who just so happens to also be my first love.

The one who broke my heart all those years ago.

I haven’t seen Wyatt since he left our hometown behind, but a piece of my heart has always been his.
And all those old feelings come rushing back the moment we see each other again.
Only now the boy I once loved is a charming, delicious and intoxicating man.

One I’m not sure I can resist.

Especially when neither of us can deny his daughter Lucy’s holiday wish- for the three of us to compete together as a team in Strawberry Hollow’s Annual Christmas List tradition.

At first, he’s determined to win every festive challenge on the list but the more things we check off, the more it seems like he wants to win me instead.
Soon things are heating up between us, and suddenly I find myself at risk of falling… for my ex.

But I’m not sure I could survive the heartbreak of losing him again.
Is this just a holiday fling…
Or is this the second chance I’ve always secretly hoped for?

Steamy and sweet novella!
Maren wrapped up the Strawberry Hollow series in the most delightful way with this sweet and spicy holiday novella! It was the perfect holiday escape, offering a perfect blend of heartwarming moments and steamy chemistry that had me smiling from start to finish. The main characters were absolutely lovable, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the MMC—he’s a single dad whose love and devotion to his daughter completely melted my heart. There’s something incredibly special about a single dad who puts his child first, and Wyatt’s character really captured that beautifully. This novella was the perfect combination of festive charm and sizzling romance. The small-town holiday setting, filled with cozy Christmas traditions and heartwarming activities, provided the perfect backdrop for the developing relationship between the characters. As they navigated rekindling their love, there was an undeniable spark and chemistry that kept me hooked. It was a read that filled me with all the warm, fuzzy feelings, but also had enough heat to keep things exciting. If you're looking for a holiday read that’s both sweet and spicy, filled with lovable characters, a touch of festive magic, and plenty of romantic tension, this novella is the perfect choice. Maren delivered yet another fun, heartfelt, and steamy installment to the series that will leave you giddy and eager to return to Strawberry Hollow!

    Aaahh this was so good. I finished it in a day.

    Josie is a teacher (I love when the FMC is a teacher). She is shocked when she finds out her newest student is the daughter of the love of her life, Wyatt, who she hasn’t seen in 8 years. He moved away and broke her heart. Josie, crowing on herself the queen of Christmas, gets roped by Lucy, her student, to compete in their towns Christmas List, forcing her to spend time w Wyatt.

    This was so freaking good! I am so obsessed with this book. Wyatt was so romantic, and a gentleman, but spicy at the same time. So good! And then Josie was fun, and sweet and still so in love with Wyatt.

    This really was a beautiful book. I loved it!

    The Christmas List is a sweet addition to the Strawberry Hollow Christmas novellas. Wyatt and Josie were each other’s first loves, but when he left for college, he broke both their hearts but calling it off. Years later, he’s returned him, a single dad to a little girl who just so happens to be placed in Josie’s kindergarten classroom. It’s not long before the former couple reconnects and sparks fly once again.

    Maren wasn’t kidding when she said this was a Hallmark after dark. The whole concept of the Christmas List town competition was adorable. And then when Josie finally has her f-it moment, Maren brought the spice to go along with the sweet. This was a super quick novella but had a good balance of plot and spice, so add it to your holiday TBR today!

    I absolutely adore this book. The Christmas List is such a cute Christmas novella with some steamy scenes.

    Josie is a kindergarten teacher and she just loves Christmas so she truly enjoys sharing all with her students. She especially enjoys Lucy who is new to her class and new to Strawberry Hollow. Lucy reminds her of herself with her love for Christmas.

    When Lucy tells Josie that she is waiting for her daddy because he wants to meet her new teacher, Josie says okay. What Josie wasn't expecting was her old high school boyfriend who broke her heart eight years ago to walk into her classroom.

    Wyatt left Strawberry Hollow and Josie eight years ago to go to college and play football. Unfortunately he got hurt and couldn't play ball any longer and when he found out he was going to be a dad, he did everything to raise his daughter. Now back in town to help his family, he sees Josie and all feelings come back.

    An unexpected working together for a Christmas List brings these two together along with Lucy. Will old feelings resurface for both?? Need to read this to find out. Just thoroughly enjoyed this book!

    I love a single dad romance so much 🥰. This book totally had all the good vibes and loved up to all my Christmas book expectations!

    It was a quick read that didn’t leave you hanging either. I fell in love with all of the characters and I had a good time with the banter with the siblings.

    I haven’t read the first 2 books yet but they’re on my TBR after reading this one!

    🌶️ The scenes kind of felt repetitive. The plot definitely held up its end of the bargain though to make up for it!

    I think this was my favorite of the three.

    It definitely had ALL the Hallmark vibes but with spice. Eight years apart only to reunite in Josie's Kindergarten class when Wyatt comes to pick up his daughter Lucy and meet her teacher who just happened to be his first and only love of his life. This read had all the feels and emotions you could want in a Christmas Love story.

    I highly recommend everyone to get this little series Strawberry Hollow, you seriously won't be disappointed. I'm kind of hoping the author will release more under this series for the rest of the Pearce brothers.

    I am not usually a fan of second-chance romances but The Christmas List has made me love this trope again with Josie and Wyatt's love story. ALL THE SWEET AND SPICY FEELINGS!

    The chemistry and love between them could be felt from beginning to end. I couldn't stop smiling, getting gooey and rooting for them to have their HEA. I fell for every interaction they had.

    The Christmas List is the kind of love story I love reading during the holidays. Absolutely adorable with the perfect amount of spice.

    Cute Christmas story. I Wish it was longer with more build up. The relationship happens too quickly and too easily. But I did enjoy the Christmas themed story.

    I loved every bit of this. It was just too good! This series is not only my favourite Christmas series ever. But one of my favourite romance series ever. The characters are just so good. If there’s one thing maren moore does well, it’s write a book boyfriend. And Wyatt Owens did not disappoint.

    A second chance romance, grumpy x sunshine, single dad Christmas novella, it really did have it all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars strawberry hallow for the win!
    Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2024
    I’ve absolutely loved this series so I was eager to visit this town for a finale time. As a major fan of Hallmark movies, Strawberry Hills holds all those vibes but make it spicy.

    Josie’s time to shine is around Christmas as the proclaimed ‘Queen of Christmas’ around her small town. While gearing up for the annual Christmas Competition, she is shocked to find out that her former lover Wyatt as moved back to town with his daughter Lucy.

    Lucy and Josie share the same excitement for the holidays and when Josie is asked to join her team and knowing that she would have to work with Wyatt, she puts her feelings aside for the happiness of this little girl. She tries to keep her feelings separate but the more time she spends with them, the harder it is.

    Wyatt sees this as an opportunity to win back Josie and her affections. He stops at nothing to show her how much she still means to him. I love watching them reconnect and the addition of Lucy was perfection. I loved them so so much!
