Books of Tash

So, you made it through Christmas and now it’s time to relax into 2026. You want a book you can curl up with drink hot chocolate and enjoy (if you’re in that part of the world) or lie in the sun next to the pool drinking cocktails. This book is it!

It’s a perfect light fluffy hallmark with spice read and I am so here for it! I devoured this book and adored how perfect the story is as the authors note says it’s supposed to be a silly fun time. I also LOVE the body positivity spread through this. People don’t know how much their comments can hurt and this book is like a warm hug! and a good reminder that fuck what people think if it makes you feel good then go for it!

Mikey is a plus sized female mechanic (hell to the yeah) and is at work one day when Saint comes in with his broken-down bakery van. I love the role reversal in this. Saint takes one look at the gorgeous Mikey and hears symphonies and decides that yes this is the woman for him. He needs to get his confidence up to ask her out so of course he breaks his van a couple more times just so he has an excuse to drive 2 hours away and get it fixed. Except the last time is maybe third time lucky and he actually does some damage and needs a lift home while wating for parts.

Some of this book was so sweet I’m sure it gave me cavities but as an escape from reality and the looming end of financial year at work this was the perfect book for me to be reading!
