Ice Planet Holiday has two main story-lines. The first is Georgie's pregnancy and her need to plan a holiday celebration for the sa-khui. The girls are missing Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, and all those other fun holidays from Earth, so Georgie goes to Vektal to propose the idea of having a big feast and new traditions. He just wants his mate to be happy, so decorating commences immediately! Of course, during all of this Georgie is worried about her pregnancy, since she was the first to get knocked up, but seems like the last to gift birth. I really enjoyed the holiday festivities, but was less interested in the baby birthing. Although I was happy for Vektal and Georgie.

The second story-line in Ice Planet Holiday is Claire's romance. I wish she had gotten her own full book! Claire had paired off with a grumpy male named Bek, and after a year, she's sick of him belittling her. They haven't resonated, so there's no reason to stay. She uses the upcoming holiday as a way to get away from him, but he's not willing to let her go. In steps Ereven! Claire believes that he's fake courting her to make Bek back off, but Ereven really likes her! This was all super duper cute, and fake dating is my favorite. I really wanted more of them! All in all, I enjoyed this quickie holiday novella.
