Yours for the Season delivers a cozy, holiday‑tinged romance with a charming premise and a cast of likable characters. The setup—fake dating that slowly turns into something real—has plenty of potential, and the book shines most when it leans into warm family dynamics and festive atmosphere. The chemistry between the leads is sweet, and the story moves at an easy pace that makes it a pleasant, low‑stress read for anyone craving seasonal comfort.
That said, the novel doesn’t quite rise above the familiar beats of its genre. Some plot points feel predictable, and the emotional development between the characters can come across as rushed or surface‑level. While the book is enjoyable and has its heart in the right place, it doesn’t offer many surprises or deeper layers. Overall, it’s a solid, middle‑of‑the‑road holiday romance—cozy enough to enjoy, but not one that lingers long after the last page.
