Christmas looks different depending on where you are. For many readers, “cozy Christmas” evokes softly falling snow, frosted rooftops, and crackling fires – but for readers Down Under, Christmas may bring blazing sun, sandy beaches and barbecues under gumtrees. Whether you’ll be wrapped in scarves or slipping into flip-flops, there’s a holiday romance that will feel just right.

The enemies-to-lovers trope is one of the most loved in romance fiction. Readers know what’s coming – the bickering, the stolen glances, the explosive chemistry – and yet it never gets old.

Let’s break down why this trope is so addictive and why it keeps readers turning the pages late into the night.

There’s something irresistible about a single-dad romance. Maybe it’s the way vulnerability meets strength, or how love blossoms not just between two people but into a family.
