As if you didn’t need more novels to add to your shopping cart well here, I am *whispers* the menace. I have the perfect romance recommendations to cuddle with next to fireplace while sipping on hot chocolate. And don’t worry this list won’t just be Christmas romance novels, although those are lovely, the books on the list today are novels that take place during the wintertime or give winter vibes.
1. From Lukov with Love by Marianna Zapata

- Winter Vibes
- Adult romance read
- Figure skating rivals
Jasmine Santos wants nothing more than to compete professionally again, so when her nemesis on ice, Victor Lukov, gives her the opportunity to partner with him in the upcoming season she knows she has to do it. But Jasmine does not expect Victor to follow her off the ice, and soon he’s teasing her at family dinner.
2. Neon Gods by Katee Roberts
- Erotica Romance
- Hades and Persephone retelling
- Winter vibes

Persophone’s sudden engagement to Zeus causes her to run straight into Hades’ arms. Luckily, Hades hates Zeus as much as Persophone, and the two decide to flaunt their relationship publicly and participate in a few orgies.
3. Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

- Young Adult Read
- Christmas/holidays
- Grumpy sunshine pairing
Dash and Lily feel vastly different about Christmas, but they decide to liven the Christmas spirit by passing a notebook of dares between each other. This novel is also a precious limited series on Netflix which I also recommend for the Christmas vibes.
4. Rent a boyfriend by Gloria Chao
- New Adult
- Holidays/winter vibes
- Toxic parents

Chole Wang hires Drew Chen to be her boyfriend for Thanksgiving to assuage her noisy parents. But Chole befriends Drew, and the pair only grow closer together during the holiday season.
5. Amor Actually by Various authors

- Winter/ Christmas
- Adult romance stories
This Christmas Anthology is full of diverse love stories starring latinx/ latine protagonists. We are slowly getting latine Christmas movies, but why wait when Amor Actually is out now?
I will definitely be reading and recommending more holiday romances so can an eye out on my tiktok
until next time I’ll be living in libros,
Gabriela
Loved Neon Gods!
