In "Jolly Hour," the romance between main characters Ajay and Nadia is a classic love at first sight story; Ajay saw Nadia walk through the door and instantly knew that she was the one for him. There wasn't much in the way of character or relationship development, which I kind of expected given the length of the novella, but I did like Nadia and found her insecurities to be pretty relatable. As for Ajay, while I didn't dislike him, he almost seemed to be too perfect to me. I think I would have liked him better in a longer story that allowed for more character development, in which he might have come across as more realistic and flawed.
Overall, while I liked "Jolly Hour," I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first novella in the series. I didn't connect with Ajay and Nadia or feel their connection the same way I did Libby and Brendan's in "Jingle Lady." That said, it was still a cute story and I would recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance, particularly anyone who enjoys love at first sight stories. I look forward to the release of the third book of the series next week.

About "Jolly Hour"
Fall in fa-la-love this holiday season with bell ensemble group All My Jingle Ladies. Three feisty bell-ringing friends must face the music when the magic of Christmas brings them their happily ever afters.
I’m a man of action. When I see something I want, I go after it.
So after one night with the intoxicating Nadia I know what I need next – her. She’s a workaholic who’s in need of a holiday distraction. I’m happy to take the reins and help. She can try to hide her passion behind a frosty attitude and a cool smile, but I know I can melt her heart. I just have to catch her first.
All My Jingle Ladies is an interconnected holiday series!
