Review of Date Night in December  by Jaqueline Snowe

I’ve been reading romance since my teenage years. Yes, I KNOW that some old school romance had toxic elements. And I’m happy that we’ve (largely) left all that behind.

But sometimes “new style” romance in which two cinnamon roll characters banter and make heart eyes at each other for 350 pages can make me zone out a little bit?

I don’t want toxic romance but I do want some tension. Some sense of risk. And some stakes!

Laney and Connor are an example of opposites attracting. She’s an artsy photographer, he’s a hard charging CEO. But his workaholic tendencies made her leave her wedding ring on the kitchen counter and head back to her hometown.

In short, Connor convinces her to date him for one month (December) before she moves forward with ending their marriage.

Date Night In December Had:

  • A second chance at love plot
  • A charming small town setting
  • Laney’s hilarious parents
  • A “Say Anything” feel with a workaholic husband trying to win back his wife
  • Very spicy in the love scene department
  • Publication date: October 14, 2025 by Grand Central Books. Thanks so much to them for the advance review copy.

This book is perfect For:

Fans of books with a couple with a history trying to find their way back together. And readers who want Christmas romances books with spice!
