5. The Christmas Cottage by Samantha Chase
If you’re looking for a very quick, yet satisfying romantic Christmas read, this is your best bet. Nothing says romance quite like two people stranded in a cozy cottage together while a blizzard roars outside. Lacy Quinn is saddled with the task of decorating the Christmas cottage for her best friend, Ava Callahan’s, wedding. Pretty cynical about love in general, Lacy scoffs at the idea that the Callahan family cottage is rumored to bind together any couple who stays the night, in eternal love. However, when Ava’s brother, and Lacy’s longtime crush, Ean, shows up just as the blizzard settles in, Lacy is willing to put a little faith and a whole lot of hope in the magic of the Christmas cottage.
