Steam: Adult-ish | It’s really non-specific and light
Series: Tallgrass, 1.5

Hott Review:

What I liked: A Christmas to Remember is a great Christmas romance. I’ll definitely keep this on the shelf, two of these were absolutely re-readable!
What I didn’t like: Actually, I didn’t enjoy the excerpts for the novels. For me, those were just wasted space since I won’t read excerpts. (I don’t like starting a book I Can’t finish right away.)

Grade:B+
Steam:Overall, Adult. If you don’t want more than that then skip Every Year.
