Since There's No Place to Go by Kate Watson: Book Review

The Book

The only thing I hate worse than Christmas is Cooper Freaking Kellogg.

Liesel:

My reason for hating Christmas is simple: my mom loved Christmas, and now she’s gone. My reason for hating Cooper Kellogg is also simple: he annoys the jingle out of me. The all-star, all-ego player is on the injured list, and—lucky me!—we’re assigned to work on a special project together. Between awkward team events, a Christmas escape room, and some very inconvenient mistletoe, Coop and I are getting way too close for comfort.

Then we’re trapped in a blizzard overnight, and Coop’s cocky grin slips, showing the man behind the mischief. I start falling for his exasperatingly handsome face faster than the snow can pile up around my car. Unfortunately, my overprotective MLB dad and brothers have one rule bigger than Santa himself: no dating players. And it’ll take a lot more than Christmas magic to change their minds.

Cooper:

Liesel Fischer is the Grinch I never knew I needed. She’s smart, snarky, and treats me like a typo she wants to delete. So naturally, getting under her skin is my new favorite Christmas tradition. It doesn’t matter that I’m itching to unwrap all the intriguing layers beneath her prickly exterior. And it especially doesn’t matter that she’s the first woman I’ve ever wanted to drop my own walls for.

I’m not allowed to date her.

I shouldn’t date her.

But after a blizzard traps us in her car and I miss my flight home, I’m definitely going to date her.

Now if a Christmas miracle can just convince her family that we belong together.

I’ll put it in my letter to Santa.

Since There's No Place to Go is a sweet closed-door romantic comedy in the vein of your favorite festive Hallmark movie, but with more swooning and a lot more banter. Happily ever after guaranteed!

Book Review

Since There's No Place to Go is a standalone novel but does feature characters from Kate's previous holiday romcom- Single All the Way. You can definitely enjoy this one even if you haven't read the previous--- though I'd certainly recommend both. 

Oh my goodness, this book! As much as I absolutely adored Single All the Way, I have to say that this one was even better! Right from their hilarious meet cute, I was drawn into Cooper and Liesel's story. They had such amazing banter, matched only by their undeniable chemistry. Cooper might be one of my favorite MMCs ever... he's so cocky, but with his big heart, it's impossible not to love him anyway. Their story was filled with so much holiday cheer and so many laugh out loud moments that had me smiling throughout. (The interactions between Coop and Liesel's brothers were the best!) That was blended perfectly with the more tender moments that had me reaching for the tissues. Liesel's loss of her mother to ALS and Cooper's mother's struggle with agoraphobia added so much more to the story. As someone who struggles with agoraphobia myself (though to a lesser degree), I loved seeing this representation in a side character and I found myself relating to her very much. While there were definitely some tougher moments, there was also so much healing... truly just the perfect heartfelt holiday read! I absolutely loved everything about it. 

Since There's No Place to Go is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
