Some Kind of Christmas Books in Order

The Some Kind of Christmas books are a little different from most of Holford's romance series because they stay with the same couple the whole way through. Instead of introducing a new hero and heroine in every book, this four-part mini series follows Ellie Wexly and Cooper Walsh from their first holiday-centered turning point into the next stages of being together. That gives the series a more intimate, serialized feel.

It starts with Some Kind of Christmas, when Ellie is facing a lonely holiday and a kitchen mishap changes the shape of the season. Cooper, a firefighter, comes crashing back into her life and quickly realizes what he wants. The first story is short, direct, and built around the emotional charge of Christmas, a time when people already feel everything a little more sharply.

From there, the focus shifts from getting together to staying together. In Some Kind of Love, Ellie and Cooper are already in a real relationship, but that does not mean the hard part is over. Ellie wants to move forward, and life keeps interrupting. Some Kind of Forever continues that thread, showing a couple who are solid on the surface but still holding back private fears about the future. It is a reminder that commitment is not one big scene. It is a series of smaller moments where people decide whether to speak up, trust, and keep building.

That is the charm of this series.

Because the books are short, Holford keeps the lens close. There is not a lot of side-quest plotting or a huge ensemble cast taking over the page. The drama stays mostly emotional and domestic. Readers spend time watching one relationship evolve through ordinary hurdles, timing, readiness, and the fear that wanting something permanent also means risking a bigger loss if it falls apart.

By the time the series reaches Some Kind of Always, the pleasure comes from seeing whether Ellie and Cooper can turn that early Christmas spark into something lasting. Even without a giant external plot, the books manage to create momentum because they are interested in the stage of romance many stories skip. What happens after two people know they are in love? What still scares them? What still needs to be said?

If you like novella-length romance and want more than just the first rush of attraction, this series has a nice hook. It is cozy, relationship-centered, and easy to read in order. More than anything, it feels like checking in on a couple you actually care about, watching them move from holiday magic to the steadier work of making a shared future.
