Many thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 stars.

Cute idea, but there seemed to be a lot of repetitive filler without much substance. The MC has a lot of self esteem issues and constant negativity. The male lead seems great, but the insta love was a bit much. Christmas was thrown in there, but quickly forgotten. Then the end wraps up super fast with some lingering questions.

When Scottish billionaire Logan Fyfe escapes to small town Jasmine Falls, South Carolina to clear his head from family drama, he quickly becomes smitten by his neighbour and local bakery owner Gwen Griffin. The two neighbours make a deal to fake-date until Gwen’s sister’s wedding to help Gwen dodge her over-bearing mother’s attempts at matchmaking. But as they spend more time with one-another, they begin to realize they may have caught feelings. Can two people from opposite sides or the world and completely different backgrounds make it work as a couple?

You’ll want to pick up this new sweet, Christmas-themed novel by Lucy Day this holiday season. The small-town setting gives classic holiday vibes and has just the right amount of love and spice. Enjoy!

One Sweet Holiday but Lucy Day is a cute rom-com just in time for the holiday. Gwen Griffin has recently broken up with her cheating fiance much to her mother’s dismay. Now her sister is getting married and Gwen has to face the wedding with no date. Enter Logan Fyfe an extremely rich and good-looking Scotsman who is surprisingly wise and centered.
This was a mix of opposites attract and fake love becoming real love. A cute heartwarming story read in front of my Christmas tree. I want to thank Netgalley and Lucy Day for this ARC.

I always love a good fake dating romp especially for big events like weddings in small towns! This is a perfect cute romcom for the holiday season and who doesn't like a sexy scottish man as their fake date! It had a very hallmark romcom feel!

This was perfect, very festive, great chemistry, Gwen and Logan are so cute. I loved the family dynamics, they gave the story some more interest rather than just purely focussed on the relationship aspects.

I love holiday romcoms with all the feels, and this did not disappoint. Our sweet FMC, Gwen, owns a bakery, and like many of us, struggles with confidence. Our MMC, Logan, with his sexy Scottish accent, has his own set of problems. His stay in town is temporary, but are his feelings for Gwen? This is such a sweet and loving romcom. It was a great addition to my holiday romcom sprint.

I enjoyed this story of a woman who gets pushed around by her family, is in business for herself, has a wonderful relationship with her sister, and meets a hot and supportive man (who just happens to have a Scottish brogue). I did feel like this story and on and on a bit, could use some editing down. But I'll definitely read Lucy Day again, she writes great characters.

My heart is full! This book was the perfect escape and I was completely entertained. This heartwarming, funny story is full of sweetness, romance, sizzle, witty dialog and banter. I adored the amazing characters and wonderful, well written storyline. One of the best opposites attract I have ever read! It's a page turner for sure and I loved every second of it.

Fun read! When a hot Scott neighbor comes to town it turns Gwen’s world upside down. Gwen was a sweet people pleaser pushover. Being second best in her parents eyes made her doubt herself. Logan was a game changer. He made Gwen value herself more. This book was full of laughs and small town fun. Thank you NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

This was a cute and easy Christmas book. We meet the “hot Scot” Logan who’s from Scotland and also very rich. We also meet a small town baker who owns a cafe, Gwen. It seems that these two are at different points in their life but the small town Christmas magic works its charm and changes things. Gwen is a likable main character with relatable issues to deal with. I didn’t realize this was a series until I was in the middle of it. I think I would’ve rated it higher if I read all the books involved. Thanks to net galley for my copy!

The tension is building for Gwen and her newly-discovered interest, Logan. He’s running away from family issues and Gwen is running into trouble saying no to others. Logan gives her the perfect reason to pretend to be wedding dates and a lot more! Spicy and inclusive! I loved this book.

Lucy Day's storytelling prowess shines through as she weaves a tale of love, self-discovery, and finding happiness in unexpected places. If you're looking for a heartwarming read to get you in the holiday spirit, this book is an excellent choice.

This was a sweet book with likable characters. It is a part of a series but was easily able to be read as a standalone without feeling as if pieces of the puzzle were missing. The author uses steady pacing with humor to move the book along. I enjoyed how the characters enhanced each other in a somewhat realistic way. This is a low steam book that could be easily read by many people and I could see myself recommended this to others.

What a delightful holiday romcom. One Sweet Holiday had me “catching feelings” page after page. Gwen and Logan are the perfect example of opposites attract. This book definitely has me viewing Scottish men in a totally different light.

Another clean romance. Very cute. Loved Logan and Gwen. Great reminder to slow down for the holidays. Victoria definitely won the day.

Enjoyable story!

This was a cute, sweet read. It seemed longer than necessary, but I enjoyed the characters’ sweet love story and shared growth.

Thank you NetGalley for this digital ARC of an adorable little feel-good Christmas romance!

Gwen is a small-town firecracker with her own business and a do-or-die attitude. She has her hands full with her overbearing mom, her bakery/coffee shop, her dependable sister, and her hometown responsibilities. Enter Logan. A Scottish hunk with a carefree attitude and enough cash to live freely. They take a shine to each other instantly and the swooning begins. He teaches her self-care and leaning on others. She teaches him about community. All in all it was a good time and perfect for this time of year.

I really liked this book. Gwen and Logan are complete opposites but are exactly what the other needs. Gwen struggles throughout the book with something many women struggle with: over working, taking care of others but not herself, doubting herself, beating herself up, and pleasing everybody else while her own feelings and wants are ignored. Logan comes to her rescue and shows her that a burnt out life is not the way to live. Of course the love story was cute and enjoyable, but I think many women will relate to Gwen in ways they don’t relate to other rom com heroines, and because of that I recommend it.

This was the first book I have read by Lucy Day. I really enjoyed this book. This had all the feels of a charming and cozy Christmas romance. It was cute and funny, a great way to start my holiday reading. I think this has a Hallmark movie vibe to it. I will definitely be recommending this book.


Thank you NetGalley and Blue Crow Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

I feel like this book had everything I needed: a cafe, planning a wedding, ROMANCE, Christmas, and a SCOTTISH MAN.

I loved Logan's patience and support for Gwen, but Gwen was my favorite. She was so relatable and I was rooting for her. This was charming, sweet, and the perfect winter holiday read.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC!
