4。5 ⭐️Cute Christmas perfection！I’ve said it before， but it bears repeating: Kasey Stockton is a Christmas rom-com QUEEN！ Each new story is the perfect pick-me-up and expertly balanced with heart & humour。 Max & Rachael are a classic case of older brother’s best friend， and I love them。 And the chosen family scenario。。。 priceless。 🥹 Christmas came early， friends， and I’m not mad about it！

Cabin Crush by Kasey Stockton （5 stars）A Christmasy romance filled with fun family activities and lots of intensely romantic tension （but everything is kept clean。）Rachel had been crushing on Max， her older brother’s friend， for years。 Then， when she’s a Junior in High School， Rachel （who is in disguise） and Max share an incredible Christmas party kiss。 But since their families are so close， both basically act like nothing happened。 They are， eight years later， still good friends and their famil Cabin Crush by Kasey Stockton （5 stars）A Christmasy romance filled with fun family activities and lots of intensely romantic tension （but everything is kept clean。）Rachel had been crushing on Max， her older brother’s friend， for years。 Then， when she’s a Junior in High School， Rachel （who is in disguise） and Max share an incredible Christmas party kiss。 But since their families are so close， both basically act like nothing happened。 They are， eight years later， still good friends and their families are still inseparable。 （Rachel still holds a flame for Max， but she does a good job of keeping her feelings hidden。 Enough so that Max has yet to guess her feelings。）The two families have a tradition of going to a shared cabin for Christmas holidays every year。 This year， Max is single and is taking notice of Rachel。 Cue the attraction/romantic tension。 At the same time， emotional walls are being slowly torn down and very real thoughts and feelings are being shared this is not only a relationship based on physical attraction。 Everyone gets their happily ever after， but the journey is a believable one with unresolved problems， emotional pain and real-life dilemmas mixed in。 。。。more

Does Kasey Stockton write the best chemistry？ Why， yes， I think she just might。 Her books give me butterflies from chapter 1 and I am here for it。 I like her writing so much， I am very seriously considering reading her Scottish books。 （It's a bigger deal than it sounds like）I started this last night and wasnt at all upset when I accidentally woke up at 5:25a。 Max and Rachael were Hallmark channel adorable （but again， with better chemistry） and I was rooting for them from just the cover， truly。If Does Kasey Stockton write the best chemistry？ Why， yes， I think she just might。 Her books give me butterflies from chapter 1 and I am here for it。 I like her writing so much， I am very seriously considering reading her Scottish books。 （It's a bigger deal than it sounds like）I started this last night and wasnt at all upset when I accidentally woke up at 5:25a。 Max and Rachael were Hallmark channel adorable （but again， with better chemistry） and I was rooting for them from just the cover， truly。If you like pop culture references， the Grinch， brother's best friend， Christmas， cabins， romance， puppies and holiday magic， read this book。 If I didn’t have so many ARCs， I'd start it over after I eat breakfast。 。。。more

Max and Rachael grew up more like brother and sister than not。 Except for that one time in high school， when Max accidentally kissed Rachael while she was in her Grinch suit with green paint on her face。 That kiss was life altering for Rachael but Max was repulsed and she never wanted to discuss it again。 Max was Rachael's older brother's best friend and their families always did everything together。 Especially， their yearly Christmas week up at their cabin in Tahoe。 This year， Max and Rachael j Max and Rachael grew up more like brother and sister than not。 Except for that one time in high school， when Max accidentally kissed Rachael while she was in her Grinch suit with green paint on her face。 That kiss was life altering for Rachael but Max was repulsed and she never wanted to discuss it again。 Max was Rachael's older brother's best friend and their families always did everything together。 Especially， their yearly Christmas week up at their cabin in Tahoe。 This year， Max and Rachael just might find there is more than just brother/sisterly feelings between them。 This was a sweet， swoon worthy romance with lots of feel good moments。 I love reading anything Ms。 Stockton writes。 She has a way of drawing the reader in so you feel like you could be friends with the characters and experiencing the story first-hand。 I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review。 。。。more

A Christmas story that will make you laugh and give all the feels with some Christmas magic。 Basically， the Christmas movies we all love but without any cheesiness to make you roll or your eyes or groan。 As I read I could feel and relate to how each of the characters felt。 Oh， man the opening！ I felt that awkwardness。 Lol I enjoyed the humor。 Reading this was fun。 I loved the time the families where at the cabin。 All the traditons and regular interactions were written well。 The story flowed so n A Christmas story that will make you laugh and give all the feels with some Christmas magic。 Basically， the Christmas movies we all love but without any cheesiness to make you roll or your eyes or groan。 As I read I could feel and relate to how each of the characters felt。 Oh， man the opening！ I felt that awkwardness。 Lol I enjoyed the humor。 Reading this was fun。 I loved the time the families where at the cabin。 All the traditons and regular interactions were written well。 The story flowed so nice that I was at the end before I knew it。 I thought the h & H shared an authentic connection。 I love this author can go between contemporary and historical seemlessly。 She's always a good read you can escape into where stories come to life。 。。。more

Do you like Hallmark Christmas movies？ If so this book is for you！ The perfect length for a fun read during the busy holiday season。 I am always a sucker for brothers best friend/best friends little sister trope。 Loved the dual POV and laughed out loud at so many parts。 Now I’m in the mood for all things Christmas！ Trigger warning death of child with leukemia referenced in the past。

Cabin Crush begins with one long ago holiday party where Rachael， a teen who has eyes on her brother’s best friend Max， dresses up like the Grinch for that costume party。 Mistletoe and her brother combine to orchestrate one green painted liplock， followed by a mean older girl making fun of the whole situation。 Fast forward 8 years and Rachael and Max’s families still spend a week at the cabin every Christmas， and Rachael is still as single as she was during that first grinchy kiss。 Life has been Cabin Crush begins with one long ago holiday party where Rachael， a teen who has eyes on her brother’s best friend Max， dresses up like the Grinch for that costume party。 Mistletoe and her brother combine to orchestrate one green painted liplock， followed by a mean older girl making fun of the whole situation。 Fast forward 8 years and Rachael and Max’s families still spend a week at the cabin every Christmas， and Rachael is still as single as she was during that first grinchy kiss。 Life has been a bit of a struggle， with work and finances never quite coming easy。 She’s ready to forget about real life for a week and just enjoy the holiday。 The family escapades and misadventures move merrily along while Max wrestles with a growing realization that the kiss he still remembers could have been the start of something great。 Has too much time passed， or is a second chance going to be under the tree for him and Rachael this year？This was a fun， sweet romance with complex characters and a lot of laughs。 。。。more

Best friends little sister is my favorite trope。 I loved this contemporary romance and the holiday feel。 I especially loved the setting out on Tahoe and the history of their families going there。 I enjoyed the banter， and the slow burn romance。 I loved how deeply these characters felt and how much they cared for each other。 I totally read straight through it in one sitting。 And， I wouldn’t be surprised if I go back to read it again。 It was a good， feel good， family focused romance。I received an Best friends little sister is my favorite trope。 I loved this contemporary romance and the holiday feel。 I especially loved the setting out on Tahoe and the history of their families going there。 I enjoyed the banter， and the slow burn romance。 I loved how deeply these characters felt and how much they cared for each other。 I totally read straight through it in one sitting。 And， I wouldn’t be surprised if I go back to read it again。 It was a good， feel good， family focused romance。I received an ARC of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

I adore Kasey Stockton books。 This is a perfect book to get in the holiday spirit。 The Grinch references and situations are hilarious。 Rachel has had a crush on Max for a really long time， at least a decade。 Max just happens to be her brother's best friend and also one of her best friends。 I love that this is a friendship to more trope。 The chemistry is so good。 I would highly recommend this fun story， especially for the holidays。 I adore Kasey Stockton books。 This is a perfect book to get in the holiday spirit。 The Grinch references and situations are hilarious。 Rachel has had a crush on Max for a really long time， at least a decade。 Max just happens to be her brother's best friend and also one of her best friends。 I love that this is a friendship to more trope。 The chemistry is so good。 I would highly recommend this fun story， especially for the holidays。 。。。more

Contemporary Romance at its Best！ Rachael and Max are such endearing characters！ There’s so much heart-tugging in their story: crush， awkwardness， attraction， discomfort， friendship， trust， love and sweet chemistry。 The reader goes right along for the ride and the journey is Fabulous！ There is a scene in The Closet that dreams are made of。 Add to all this Cozy Christmas feels and you’ve about got perfection。 I highly recommend this clean， well-written book。I received an eARC for review。 This is Contemporary Romance at its Best！ Rachael and Max are such endearing characters！ There’s so much heart-tugging in their story: crush， awkwardness， attraction， discomfort， friendship， trust， love and sweet chemistry。 The reader goes right along for the ride and the journey is Fabulous！ There is a scene in The Closet that dreams are made of。 Add to all this Cozy Christmas feels and you’ve about got perfection。 I highly recommend this clean， well-written book。I received an eARC for review。 This is my honest opinion of the story。 。。。more

This is a warm fuzzy Christmas read。 Max and Racheal have know each other forever。 Their families are good friends。 The setting is Lake Tahoe。 Both Max and Racheal have a problem he/she are trying to work through and not burden their families with。 I love how they support each other and know each other so well。 I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the others in the series。
