Review: Christmas in Quincy

✩✩✩✩✩

Cleo Hillcrest would rather cancel Christmas than endure another one of her father’s pretentious holiday parties, making small talk with his rich colleagues and her stepmother’s shallow friends. She’s leaving home to spend three peaceful and quiet days in Quincy, Montana, trading gifts and grandeur for room service and slippers.

But she should have expected her family to thwart her plans. The minute she finishes unpacking her suitcase at the quaint Eloise Inn, Austin Myles knocks on her room door.

As the head of her father’s security team, Austin’s been ordered to drag Cleo back to California. Only when she refuses to leave, he has no choice but to stay. After a Christmas in Quincy, everything between them is about to change.

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: January 2021

Mature content: yes

Review: Christmas in Quincy is a short novella and part of the The Edens series (Indigo Ridge, Juniper Hill, Garnet Flats, Jasper Vale, Crimson River, and Sable Peak). Cleo's previous visit to Quincy is mostly mentioned in Juniper Hill. 

I obviously would have loved a longer story, but as novellas go, I actually liked this one very much. Cleo and Austin make a great pair and some of their dialogues and interactions are really funny. 

See it on Amazon

I would say that, ultimately, Christmas in Quincy can be read as a stand alone or as a prequel to the whole series but I honestly believe I enjoyed it more after reading all the other books and having more context about the location and the background. 

Happy readings!
