Curl Up with Something Sweet This Holiday Season by Merri Maywether


The days are dark this time of year. I mean that literally. By five, we are in the house drinking tea. It’s the time of year when we sit by the fireplace. In other parts of the house, we have the candles glowing and are sitting under cozy blankets. 

Before we settled in Montana, I asked my father-in-law what people do during the cold, dark season. I can still remember his Do you really need to ask expression when he said, “Read.”  

Now that I live here, I get it. Long nights make wonderful reading moments.

Which makes me happy to share this week’s offer with you.  

This week, the Sweet Romance Reads authors are sharing cozy holiday reads—absolutely FREE from December 1-7.

From snowy small towns to second-chance love stories, these heartwarming reads are the perfect way to start the holiday season!

Here’s the lineup:

  • December 1st: Lyn Cote - Winter’s Secret

  • 2nd: Josie Riviera - Holly’s Gift

  • 3rd: Merri Maywether - Meet Me By the Christmas Tree

  • 4th: Pat Simmons - Baby for Christmas

  • 5th: Roxanne Rustand - Dangerous December

  • 6th: Camille Elliot - The Spinster’s Christmas (Regency Romance)

  • 7th: Jean C. Gordon - His Christmas Star

My book, Meet Me By the Christmas Tree, is today's free read.

Hollywood action star, Liam Lane, is searching for his mystery woman—the one who vanished after sharing a fleeting moment, leaving behind only an heirloom angel pin. He has six days to find her, but what he doesn’t know is that Holly, the friendly small-town woman helping him navigate Paradise Hills, is the very person he’s looking for. It’s a cozy story filled with missed connections, festive cheer, and the kind of love that only a holiday wish can bring to life.

These sweet reads are only available for a limited time. Make sure to visit the blog, the Facebook group, or Amazon daily to add a free, sweet read to your holiday TBR.


Merry Christmas!—Merri
