This was a fun and cute read. Perfect for the winter holidays to curl up in front of a fire and imagine the storm rolling in. The descriptions of the tiny homes made them feel very cozy.

Thank you to NetGalley and New Fable Press for and advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn’t sure about this book initially, and struggled to warm to the characters. By around halfway through they really started to come to life and drew me in to the story. There were some really funny moments, and some very poignant ones. A lovely Christmas story.

Scarlett and Nick are strangers trapped in a snowstorm. Could this be a recipe for disaster or a masterpiece? They both love to travel. Scarlett travels in her Ford Transit van while Nick has built himself a tiny home he travels with.
I loved the banter between Nick and Scarlett. Playful and witty. It also made me want to set out on the road with my camper…but I doubt I’d get far!

Tiny Home for Christmas is a sweet, clean rom com with relatable characters. I plowed through and finished it in a day and loved it!

It was a DNF for me. I just couldn’t get into it. I feel like I heard more about the tiny homes than the actual characters or the plots. Not my thing but that’s okay. Give it a try anyway because I’m sure some people will love it!

A cozy Christmas read with excellent pacing. This was definitely a fun holiday read that I was able to devour in one sitting.

This was a sweet, closed door, Christmas romance. Scarlett and Nick are both minimalist travelers. Scarlett lives out of her Transit van and Nick hauls his tiny home with his truck. They are each heading back home, to their families in Florida for Christmas when a blizzard hits Georgia. They park at the same campground and the two lone travelers are neighbors for the storm.

I really like that the story didn’t end at the campground when the storm was cleared. We get more than those few days and see more of the "after." We meet their families, understand the type of trauma Scarlett was running from, see the loving home Nick came from, and get to see the relationship evolve.

Thank you to New Fable Press, Erin Lucy and Netgalley for a digital copy of Tiny Home for Christmas.

Thank you, New Fable Press, Erin Lucy, and Netgalley for an arc of this book.
I liked the story, it was cute. The mc's had a complicated backstory that I felt needed to be explored more. There was a lot going on and sometimes it seemed to drag on. No spice, which maybe was a determining factor for a lower star rating.However, there weren't a lot of "aww, my heart" moments either. 3.5/5

I wanted to like this book! I had a hard time because of my general dislike for Scarlett. She was so rude and annoying to Nick when she first went to his tiny house to stay warm that I could not get past that for her character for the rest of the book. It’s a great concept but just didn’t do it for me.

Book Review:
Tiny Home For Christmas by Erin Lucy
Published 6 Dec 2023, New Fable Press

Synopsis:
Spending Christmas in a stranger’s tiny home isn’t what Scarlett wants, but it might be just what she needs.
Scarlett travels with her dog in her Ford Transit and celebrates Christmas alone. Being snowed in at a campground is her idea of heaven. She has an electric heater, lots of blankets, and plenty of food to keep her warm. A little subzero windchill won’t stop her from enjoying her holiday. Unless the power goes out.

Nick is pulling his tiny home to a new location when the snow hits. He's not a people person: Any chance to be alone, I take it. Being snowed in at Jolly Days Campground on Christmas? No problem. Except there is a problem. She’s in that Ford Transit van over there, and if the power goes out, she’ll freeze to death. So, of course, the power goes out. And my tiny home just got way too crowded.

Review:
Loners Scarlett and Nick are intelligently written to be expressive deep thinkers, thrown together in a far from ideal situation. A frosty start between the two is wonderfully described with truly humorous moments, and as things begin to thaw, the most heartfelt tale emerges.
This is such an easy, cozy festive read, perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with, hot chocolate in hand. Ideal for chick lit lovers and romance fans, this is bound to bring out the Christmas spirit in even the coldest of hearts.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant book, fun, sweet, snow packed, a journey of rediscovery and invention. It was surprising refreshing and not too schmaltzy. I found it very festive and just a great book to snuggle down to whilst the wind was howling outside.
Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I love this idea of people loving off grid. I must admit I couldn’t manage it myself but I can see why it appeals. Getting stuck in a horrendous snowstorm sounds horrible but this story is of two people who make it work. A book of working through emotional turmoil and coming out the other side.

Scarlett and Nick are stuck together in a snow storm. She needs shelter in his tiny home, so these opposites are stuck in a small space together. When they can leave will they ever see each other again?

A cutesy Christmas romance. Exactly what I expected and needed for the holidays.
At first the pairing seemed over the top (boho vegan dread feminist meets meat loving brooding handsome man), but I grew to love their dynamic

I won't pretend I didn't love how this one started. What a fun premise to have two strangers getting stuck at a campground in Georgia during a winter storm, and one of them being so ill- equipped that they then are forced to spend the days surrounding Christmas with a stranger in a tiny home instead of with their families.

I enjoyed Nick and Scarlett to begin with, and enjoyed their story. I liked the way that they observed one another and tried to figure each other out.

Then, at some point, I just wasn't really into it anymore. I think as the dialogue increased, the way the characters spoke just really didn't click with me. It proceeded to be less desirable as time went on, but I was so close to finishing the book that I soldiered on.

This is a really cute Christmas novel following Scarlett who's living the van life but gets caught in a snow storm on her way home for Christmas; and also Nick who lives in a tiny home and is also travelling. They both end up at the same stop and as Scarlett's van loses its heating she has to bunk in with Nick to get through the awful weather. The way these two keep misreading each other and getting on each other's nerves was so believable especially as I felt sure they would get some kind of happy ending. I adored both the dogs that feature a lot in this novel, especially Scarlett's dog! There were some heavier themes in this book than I was expecting but for the most part this is a sweet, entertaining and light-hearted Christmas read. I recommend it!

I really enjoyed this one. I love a stranded together story, and the tiny home made a perfect setting. The characters were pretty well fleshed out, though I admit I actually liked the dogs most of all. Definitely a fun cozy with lots of chilly atmosphere.

Thank you to Victory Editing and Erin Lucy for a gifted ARC of A Tiny Home for Christmas. A “Snowhere to Go” Romance.

Nick and Scarlett find themselves at a campground unexpectedly. Unfortunately, a huge storm has shut down interstates and has them trapped. The Jolly Days Campground is where she will spend Christmas. This is a very sweet story of surving loss, parental trauma and finding out what really matters in life. I actually really loved this book because it wasn’t your typical Christmas Romance book. It was a little deeper and fun. I really enjoyed it and I hope to read more by this author. It was a nice clean and sweet read.
