Do you believe in kismet?
Cosima Stratton is spending Christmas alone. A surprise breakup hands her the perfect opportunity to spend Christmas on her own terms and she is excited to pass the day reading, watching Christmas movies and eating good food. Everything changes when she and a stranger agree to share a table at a restaurant two days before Christmas.
Tristan Jackson’s Christmas plans went up in smoke with a request he couldn’t find it in his heart to deny. He intends to spend his Christmas sulking over all the things that could have been but becomes intrigued with the woman he inadvertently shares dinner with.
Tristan asks Cosima to spend Christmas with him over glasses of spiked hot chocolate. He doesn’t expect her to agree but she does. They soon learn that while it’s good to make plans, sometimes the Universe’s plan is much better!
Book Review of Spiked Hot Chocolate
He gave her a sly smile. “It was worth a shot. I’m running out of ways to keep you here.”
Cosima didn’t respond immediately, and Tristan found himself backtracking. “Was that creepy? I didn’t mean for it to be creepy.”
“No, not at all,” she said, a wide smile blossoming on her face. “I just thought I was the one keeping you here.”
Tristan returned her smile. “Maybe we’re keeping each other.”
Have you ever picked up a romance novel and just melted into the story? Well, let me tell you about “Spiked Hot Chocolate.” This book is a dual-perspective romance that will make your heart flutter. The best part? You get to dive into both Tristan and Cosima’s minds, which is like having a backstage pass to their love story.
Tristan and Cosima are absolutely adorable. The way their relationship unfolds is just perfect! The characters, even the minor ones, are so well-written and relatable. This made them more relatable and their actions and decisions even more understandable.
“Half the reason I’m choosing to spend Christmas alone is because I really don’t want to deal with the same concern you’re talking about. I don’t want people looking at me with sympathy-filled eyes over their glasses of eggnog, and I don’t want anybody to think I’m pretending to be okay when they see I’m fine.” She allowed her voice to soften. “Too fine, perhaps.”

The honesty and respect between Cosima and Tristan are beautifully portrayed. Their interactions are so natural and fun to read. Seriously, their chemistry is off the charts!
He couldn’t believe that he was here with a woman he had just met but felt like a summer rain against his soul.
Tristan Jackson, Spiked Hot Chocolate
Overall, I had a blast reading this book. I usually prefer shorter reads, and this novella hit the spot. It’s light-hearted, perfectly paced, and not cluttered with too many characters. Plus, Cosima and Tristan will stick with you long after you’ve turned the last page. The only tiny hiccup for me was that I’m not a huge fan of spicy scenes, but that’s just a personal preference. Nevertheless, it was a sweet, Christmassy, and heart-warming love story of Kismet.
“My kismet is you.”
Tristan Jackson, Spiked Hot Chocolate
Conclusion
Rating: 4.5/5
Recommendation: If you’re into spicy romance, especially with a Christmas twist, you’ll love “Spiked Hot Chocolate.” It’s short, sweet, and absolutely heartwarming.
Happy reading!
