Cozy season is here. Sweater weather. Late autumn/early winter. The beginning of Holiday season. Whatever you want to call it, it is here and it’s time to relish in the ultimate coziness. Bring on the plush blankets, the novelty mugs of hot drinks, the crackling fireplace, and twinkle lights. This season wouldn’t be complete without a few holiday romance novels. 

Imagine a small town, covered in snow, a long-long love, or a fresh new beau. A few shy glances, some quippy banter, grumpy meet sunshine, or a love of second chances!  Or maybe it will be a long-lost royal, or a work place fling; it doesn’t matter as long as the love makes your heart sing. Hang up the mistletoe and string up the lights, snuggle up with a book for those long polar nights. 

It’s holiday romance, some extra cheesiness is acceptable, right? From Diwali to New Year’s, we have you covered with 2021 Holiday Romance new releases. Find out which of this season’s sweetest or steamiest reads you should pick up based on the perfect cozy afternoon at home that you create.
