Love Letters to Christmas by Camilla Evergreen: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

He's the best mail lead around, and I'm just his childhood friend turned roommate...

I've spent my life battling to manage my parents' impossible expectations and trying to catch the eye of Brian Single, a man whose head only turns for mail. Bemoaning my humanity shouldn't really be at the top of my priorities after I've just moved out of my parents' house and in with the mailman himself, but—haha—it is.

When Brian launches a Christmas in July event where we both now work together, I'm thrilled to finally be a part of the morale-boosting fun. What I don't expect is for the entire thing to be an excuse to get closer to me.

With love letters, mistletoe, and mischief abounding, it's really starting to look a lot like Christmas.

Love Letters to Christmas is a closed-door romantic comedy with plenty of swoon and sizzle, but none of the spice. Welcome to another novel in the growing EverStorm universe, featuring workplace romance, childhood friends to roommates, and sunshine/sunshine leads.


The Author

Camilla Evergreen is an alias of USA Today bestselling author Anne Stryker. Originally intended as a dumping ground for all things lacking fantasy, Camilla/Anne came to the shocking discovery that writing sarcastic, chaotic romcoms full of quippy heroines and adoring heroes has a kick to it.

Camilla/Anne’s neurodivergent tendencies leave her hyperfocused on writing sweet and sassy romances from dawn till dusk and lending whatever her current creative obsessions are to her characters. From arranged marriages to falling for the boss, there’s lots of love to go around.

Book Review

Love Letters to Christmas is part of the Everstorm universe, so if you've read Camilla's previous books in that world (Red Flag, Green Light and Unwillfully Wed to My Valentine), you will likely recognize these characters as they have been previously introduced there. That said, while I think those who have read those previous books might have a bit better understanding of some of the unique relationship/workplace dynamics in this world, this could probably be enjoyed just fine as a standalone as well. 

Camilla Evergreen never fails to deliver characters who are 100% unique... and a MMC who is obsessed with mail? Yeah, that fits with what I've come to expect. Another thing I've come to expect? Stories that are somehow both lighthearted and cozy... while still taking on topics of mental health beautifully and realistically, which we certainly see in Amelia's character here as she deals with past trauma and anxiety. I loved seeing her working through and growing throughout this story... and how Brian supports her through that. They really are the sweetest together and I couldn't help but enjoy them. Throw in some Christmas in July fun and secret love letters, and there truly was a lot to keep me smiling throughout this story. Camilla Evergreen has such a unique style unlike any others I've seen in the sweet/closed-door romcom genre and I find I enjoy her stories every time. 

Love Letters to Christmas is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. The author always does a great job of setting up reader's expectations, so be sure to check out her author's note before reading to decide if this one is a good fit for you.
