ARC Review: The Halifax Hellions by Alexandra Vasti

Publication Date: February 17, 2026

This combination of two novellas was such a great! The Halifax Hellions was a hilarious historical romance following the love stories of Margo and Matilda Halifax with their respective love interests. Watching these two women go from feeling entirely chaotic in their rebellion of love to finding forever romance was an absolute delight.

Margo’s story with Henry was so lovely. The pining from Henry for YEARS was so evident, and I love seeing a man down so bad for his woman. The adventure they go on was so entertaining, and I loved seeing Margo realize and act on her feelings for Henry too! 

Matilda’s story with Christian was full of sparks and raw tension. They had ALL the chemistry from their heated first impressions, and that certainly never diminished through the story! It’s definitely a story of how notoriety contrasts real life, as well as how love manifests itself in different ways for each person. 

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
