Week 47, 2023

 I have fully embraced the holiday reading.  I've been lucky to get some ARC's to review and early access to other stories that I got early access to through Ream and Patreon memberships.  I have also been finding ways to combine holiday reading and Coastal Magic Convention Reading Challenge for maximum fun.  I can't believe there is only 3 more months until Coastal Magic.  There's still time to sign up for both the Convention and the Reading Challenge.  Coastal Magic Convention.

I was not prepared for how many feels this story has. There is also the fun light hearted Christmas moments as well. This is a wonderful story but have your tissues read for those sadder moments. #CMCon24

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is a common theme but done is a really refreshing way. You have both a daddy and boy without experience who are figuring things out together. Also there are lots of things to work out. This is a great story with a very wonderful holiday ending. #CMCon24

Another great addition to this annual fake relationship series. Reid is in a tight spot and Connor is in the right place at the right time. Of course secret crushes can make things a bit more tricky. I love the way their relationship develops. Another fun holiday read.

I just love this couple. Theo has some real trauma that has effect his life. Haven is just such a sweetie. He is also a really great friend as well. Both men deserve the very best in life. This was a wonderful story of learning to navigate not only the holidays but your past as well.

Another story set in the Christmas Falls. Brant has a had a long running crush on his best friend’s dad. Hig has been surprised before but when he get’s surprised again well things start to happen. The physical starts quick but the rest of it follows like a holiday story should. I received an ARC of this story in return for an honest review.

I loved the peek of the upcoming story in His Boy To Adore and I really enjoyed this one as well. It was so sad to see how much misunderstandings had occurred with one incident. If nothing else they at least got to talk some of that out. This story is just the beginning of their relationship and I can’t wait for the other book to come out this spring.

I loved seeing Maddie and Robert building their relationship and have a grand adventure. Robert is so caring and willing to set his own happiness aside to meet Maddie’s needs. A fun holiday adventure. #CMCon24

This is such a heart warming holiday story. I love that you start with the relationship between Andy and Eli but you also get flashbacks to see how they got where they are. I loved all the wonderful people from Andy’s hometown that really come to the rescue. The ending is so full of feels. #CMCon24
