🦃 Stuffed with Love: Thanksgiving Romance Reads from Romance on the Rocks 🍂
Happy Thanksgiving, romance lovers! This week on Romance on the Rocks, we’re cozying up with two heartwarming books that perfectly capture the spirit of fall — full of family, tradition and a healthy dose of love.
Our featured reads are Jessica Gadziala‘s Stuffed: A Thanksgiving Romance and Margaret Watson‘s A Thanksgiving to Remember — two very different stories that both deliver on the cozy, emotional and romantic vibes we crave this time of year.

🥧 Nicole’s Pick: Stuffed by Jessica Gadziala
If you love a hometown romance with a nerdy twist, this one’s for you. Stuffed follows Callie, who returns home for Thanksgiving after six years away — and finds herself reconnecting with Adam, her brother’s best friend. Between family dinners, football games and that undeniable spark; this story gives us all the cozy fall feels.
Nicole couldn’t stop gushing about this one — from the apple orchard dates to the geeky references that make it extra charming. It’s sweet, sexy and unapologetically festive.

🍁 Meghan’s Pick: A Thanksgiving to Remember by Margaret Watson
Meghan’s book brings a little mystery to the table. In A Thanksgiving to Remember, Tina White, a nurse, finds herself drawn to Tom Flint, a man suffering from amnesia. What starts as a story about caregiving and compassion unfolds into a tale full of secrets, tension and emotional depth.
This one’s a slower burn — but still full of heart. It’s Thanksgiving with a twist, offering just the right balance of romance and intrigue.

❤️ Why We Loved These Thanksgiving Reads
One of the things we really appreciated about both books was their modern, respectful take on romance.
In Stuffed, the inclusion of realistic, responsible intimacy (yep — there are condoms!) adds a refreshing touch of authenticity. Both authors also handle age gaps and consent with care, showing that romance can be sexy and grounded in mutual respect.
It’s a far cry from some of the older books we’ve covered earlier this season — and a reminder of how beautifully the genre has evolved.
🥂 Final Thoughts
These two Thanksgiving romances gave us everything we wanted: warmth, humor and just enough spice to keep things interesting. Whether you’re a longtime romance reader or just looking for something cozy to curl up with after dinner, these stories are the perfect seasonal treat.
So grab a blanket, pour yourself a cocktail, and tune in to our full discussion of A Thanksgiving Stuffed with Love on the podcast.
Happy reading — and Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡
