A Frost Filled Christmas (Ribbon Series)

by Holly Roberds
Goldie has officially sworn off men, but the universe clearly has a wicked sense of humor. Determined to find independence, she moves into a crumbling Victorian estate, only to discover her new neighbor is a rugged, alpha bear shifter with a chip on his shoulder the size of a mountain. What starts as a peaceful retreat quickly devolves into a high-stakes battle of wills when she finds herself caught in a forced-proximity nightmare with him and his two equally intense brothers.
This spicy paranormal romance breathes new life into a classic fairytale, blending a delicious grumpy-sunshine dynamic with the irresistible heat of a reverse-harem arrangement. As Goldie navigates the thin line between a bitter feud and an all-consuming attraction, she realizes these men are far more than just grumpy neighbors. With dark, external threats encroaching on their world, the tension between them shifts from explosive arguments to a fight for survival that neither side can afford to lose.
If you are craving a historical-inspired shifter series that balances emotional depth with addictive, page-turning stakes, this is your next obsession. Holly Roberds delivers a world where every encounter is charged with danger and desire, perfect for those who love their romance with a side of supernatural intensity.

After seeing a reel about this story, I can't deny my curiosity. There have been so many alternate tales of The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, ect. But one of mischievous Goldilocks and the Three Bears, I just couldn't pass it up! There was certainly some elements of the tale I read as a girl, but they twisted into things I didn't expect. Giving me a different view on how a story made for children could turn into a wonderfully satisfying adventure for an adult, was icing on the cake. There...

I thoroughly enjoyed this retelling, I could barely put it down and when I slept I found myself dreaming what would happen next as my brain tried to solve/plan the next steps. When Goldie (our self proclaimed Barbie- we love her) inherits a Victorian after a visit to the Pumpkin Club (in the bonus epilogue of Tasting Red) she meets her stick in the mud neighbor, Ted. In true Goldie fashion, she is determined to kill him with kindness (metaphorically only). When she swears of men forever and...

The retelling of Goldilocks and the three bears. Goldie must decide which bed is the comfiest. Not giving any spoilers but is not a why choose romance. This spicy adventure with a dirty talking Teddy bear. Goldie is a girl who is picked on about her weight. She owns it and embraces her size. She still has insecurities and wants everyone to love her. She is the sweet, flirty, and a true friend. She inherits her aunts house which leads her to her NFH (neighbor from hell). And she just swore off...

This fairytale retelling has 3 bears-shifters & a Goldilocks, but this is not an RH romance. Grumpy-sunshine romance, with plenty of body-positivity, sex-positivity, and girl-code positivity. And high spice. Addresses a positive pathway out of body-shaming and bullying. On the flip side, please note there is A Whole Lot to dislike about the gender issues and female experiences here, beyond the main character. As for the main character, I really hated that the magical problem in the story...
