See all formats and editions

Her ex-fiancé took everything except the honeymoon package.

Kate had it all planned out. A beautiful wedding and a perfect honeymoon with the man of her dreams. But when her fiancé dumps her for someone else, he leaves behind nothing but the non-refundable honeymoon package. Left with a shattered heart and barely a cent to her name, Kate goes on the trip. Her best friend said it would be cathartic.

Besides, it wasn’t like things could get any worse.

Liam, burdened by his own loss, arrives at the idyllic, snow-kissed resort on a solemn quest—to honor a promise made to his late girlfriend. This was supposed to be a journey of final goodbyes and the closure of a love chapter, not the start of a new one.

After a meet-cute fail, an unexpected couple's competition with the potential to solve Kate's dire financial struggles throws her and Liam together again.

Can Kate navigate her growing feelings for Liam while pursuing the prize she desperately needs?

Will Liam let the warmth of new love mend his broken heart before their Christmas retreat concludes?

Christmas Honeymoon (For One) is a 30k-word novella, book one in the Sweet Paradise Resort Christmas series.

This clean and wholesome romance is the perfect holiday escape. If you like Christmas ornaments, freshly fallen snow, and crackling fireplaces, then you'll love this kisses-only, happily ever after holiday romance from Hope August.

Each book in the series stands alone, but each slow burn story is best enjoyed when read in the following order:

Book 1 - Christmas Honeymoon (For One)
Book 2 - Merry Mistletoe Wedding
Book 3 – Christmas Cookies and Coworkers
Book 4 - Maid for Mistletoe Mix-up
Book 5 - A Sweet Paradise Holiday Reunion

But she soon finds that Liam, a handsome green-eyed stranger with a tragic past, is also alone at the honeymoon resort, and fate seems to be pushing them together at every turn.

From the beginning I eagerly awaited evening and to be able to read more of this book. The setting was perfect for the story as it offered winter beauty, fun venues, and romantic settings. It’s a wonderful romance story with many twists and turns until the very end.

I enjoyed reading Christmas Honeymoon(For One): (Sweet Paradise Resort Christmas Book 1)!!! All about Kate Lloyd a distraught bride, that was jilted by her ex and is In her mid-twenties & Liam Harper a single who just lost his fiancé to cancer a few weeks before their wedding is in his mid-twenties. Kate & Liam are on the same flight, so far she has not left a good impression on him what so ever! She’s stepped on his shoes while checking in at the gate and has hit him in the head twice putting her luggage above her seat, and taking it out of the cupboard. Now it turns out she’s at the same resort as him! Both had signed up and paid for a couples retreat for their honeymoons and it’s not refundable. Read about Kate & Liam and see if they can get thru this week without killing each other! Lots of emotion, that will have you laughing out loud and shaking your head more than once!!! Definite Read!!!

Liam, a Widower, and Kate jilted by her ex are both on their way to A Christmas Honeymoon. Liam is only going because his wife asked him to still go even with her passing away. Kate is going because it is the only thing she has left from all of the expenses of a wedding her ex never planned to pay her back for expenses lost with his no show.

The week they are at this beautiful, romantic lodge is for couples only, so after their rough start at the airport they are now paired together her, since neither has the plus one. The week was full of fun and romantic coupling adventures that they both enjoyed. Then they said goodbye and what happened after that was intriguing and hard to put the book down.

Not my favorite but only due to the emotionally damaged character reactions that weren't unexpected just don't enjoy those types of stories. Characters were great, book was well written. Storyline was interesting, relationship is a wham bam quick connection but ends with epilogue. that's an A+ for me.

What an adorable , clean romantic story. I could feel Kate’s pain and angst like it was my own. The meet up between her and Liam was very witty and I adored how he helped her from the very first with “sleazy”. The descriptions were very easy to visualize and though I was upset with how Kate treated him, I understood where she was coming from. The climax was well hidden until it came about….good plot line there. An adorable, feel good , story. First time reading this author…I will be back for more!

A lovely holiday escape...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2023

I really enjoyed this novella and provided a lovely holiday escape. I especially liked how the relationship between Kate and Liam developed after a few heated moments of misunderstanding at the beginning to falling for each other by the end. Both characters had suffered heartbreak and were coming to terms with their own and each other's reasons to coming to the Sweet Paradise Resort is snow-sprinkled Colorado.

I found the setting really magical and felt like I was there in the resort with them witnessing their story unfold. I enjoyed this one so much that I ended up buying, and have now read, the rest of the series. Just couldn't wait to see what happened.

If anything, there were a few spelling mistakes throughout and one or two minor inconsistencies with plot and dialogue. I also wish, not to try and spoil too much, I wish Kate had not left before the conclusion of the competition. I feel there could of been more to the story with more moments of added tenderness.

Overall though, I really enjoyed this novella and loved reading the whole series.

Loved this book. the pull between Liam and Kate jumped off the page. Love a book with lots of humour. Ended up buying the rest of the series. So weak but Hope August had me hooked that I couldn't resist finding out about Ansley and Zane.
