About this ebook

A New Year's Eve sapphic romance novella with a sci-fi twist!

Bell Sharpe is living her dream life in Hawaii. Until she gets stuck in a time loop. At midnight she relives New Year’s Eve over and over again, dealing with work and personal disasters that she can't stop no matter how hard she tries.

The only person who believes Bell is stuck in time is professional surfer Lola Winston-Jones. With a sci-fi book in one hand and a cocktail in the other Lola helps Bell in every loop as they try to figure out how Bell can escape her own personal Groundhog Day.

As she gets to know Lola more, Bell is determined to break the loop and find out what her future may hold, and if Lola and her flirty smile can be a part of it.

Ratings and reviews

Bell is stuck in a time loop, reliving New Years Eve would be more fun if she wasn't stuck at work. Lots of drama and hilarity ensures as she tries to figure out how to get out of the nightmare. This was a fun little novella that put me in the mood for the holidays. Bell's adventure was entertaining and all the side characters made it even more enjoyable. This is perfect for anyone looking for a holiday romance that's also a quick read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This story was so much fun and, by far, my favourite groundhog day themed story yet. 5 kisses, but only one will break the loop. Three of them didn't seem like fun at all, one of them was a good runner up, but only one can wake sleeping beauty without a fright. Light, bright and full of anticipation. Great spin to a classic trope.

This was a really well thought out story about Bell who gets stuck in a New Years Eve Groundhog Day. It’s great to see the changes each new same day brings till it clicks. Really enjoyed it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
