Jericho’s loyalty to his four furbabies is unwavering, but the breakup leaves him shaken and fearful for their safety. A frantic trip to the emergency vet introduces him to someone entirely unexpected — a strong, growly, yet gentle Daddy-like veterinarian whose calm presence and kind words make Jericho feel safe for the first time in years. What begins as a chaotic night at the clinic blossoms into the possibility of healing, hope, and the kind of love Jericho has always dreamed of. This Christmas, heartbreak may give way to a miracle — the Daddy who sees him, protects him, and offers the home he’s been longing for. I enjoyed this story with Jericho's dedication to his animals and his chance meeting with Colter who was the vet checking over his animals and the perfect Daddy for him. The story blended holiday magic with themes of loyalty, healing, and unexpected love, proving that sometimes the greatest gifts arrive when least expected. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0FHBSK58Z".

Hart 2 of 5 stars Percy is transferred to a new workshop where he feels out of place and inexperienced. While working, he stumbles upon a mysterious toy that seems destined for him, and in a bold moment, he takes it despite the risks. Later, Percy discovers the toy was modelled after the famous Santa 69, who unexpectedly appears at his door. But Santa isn’t interested in reclaiming the toy—he’s interested in Percy himself. This story was a playful holiday romance about fate, courage, and the surprise of finding love where you least expect it. I liked that the Christmas setting framed the story as one of unexpected miracles and second chances, and that Percy’s naivety contrasted with the boldness of his choices, highlighting his growth and self‑discovery. The story was quite high-level and focused on mature themes, so I felt they could have delved more into the emotions and feelings experienced by both. This was an MM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with MPREG. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0DQZV4FWB".

His is on every billboard in town. Star was Caelum’s first love, the one he thought he’d be with forever. But just a week after Caelum found the courage to ask him out, Star got the call that changed everything. He dropped out of college and flew across the country to star in his first made-for-TV movie. He promised to come back and finish his freshman year, but that role led to another and another. Their daily calls became weekly calls, became holiday calls, became silent. Now, Star is one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Caelum is happy for him—he found everything he dreamed of and more. But that doesn’t stop Caelum from thinking about all the could’ve beens. When a man barges into Caelum’s office and begs to be hidden, he recognises him instantly. It’s Star. Is this Caelum’s Christmas wish come true, or is he headed toward heartbreak once again? I loved this story, which was layered with romance, fame, longing, and the possibility of redemption — but at its heart, it’s about whether love can survive time, distance, and ambition. I also loved that Caelum saw Star not just as a partner but as the person he was meant to be with forever, and that their fading communication — daily calls dwindling into silence — embodied the universal pain of watching intimacy dissolve. Sadly for Caelum, as the “one who got away”, Star became both a personal heartbreak and a public reminder, as his face was on billboards, making escape impossible. Several emotions and feelings were covered in this story, but they were not as in-depth as they could have been. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0FTTFZ4CH".

Teddy Willis: A newcomer to Vermont, stuck in a ski rental office and longing for connection. Beneath his nervous cheer lies a quiet hope for romance—and the dream of finding a Daddy to guide and care for him. Dr Penn Harlow: A weary doctor spending the holidays alone, filling the emptiness with cocoa and telenovelas. Surrounded by couples and families, he aches for companionship until Teddy’s shy smiles and gentle presence begin to thaw his solitude. Their days unfold with snowy mishaps, teasing banter, and tender glances, each moment hinting at a deeper bond. Teddy’s yearning for soft dominance meets Penn’s hidden desire to nurture, raising the question: could this Christmas bring them the gift of love neither expected? I loved this story, a tender winter romance in which the warmth of love becomes the true miracle of Christmas. I loved that Teddy’s search for belonging and Penn’s ache for intimacy mirrored each other. I loved that both men were perfect for each other and that they shared the same dreams that were perfectly aligned. Easy to read, feel and understand.

While trying to keep the family atmosphere alive, he finds himself relying on the support of a student’s father. Beneath his professional exterior, Mateo hides a growing crush he doesn’t want discovered. Jake: A devoted single dad, he juggles work with raising his daughter, Emerson, embracing her love for karate. When he learns the dojo is in trouble, he steps in to help—partly for Emerson’s happiness, but also because of his attraction to Mateo. I loved this story, which was a tender, slow-burning romance where saving the dojo becomes the backdrop for exploring trust, vulnerability, and unexpected connection. I liked that Mateo was a teacher and business owner, Jake was father and provider—each navigating responsibility alongside desire. I also liked that both men wrestled with unspoken attraction while focusing on Emerson’s happiness. Easy to read and understand.

A shelter raffle and a chance encounter at his favorite kink club unexpectedly bring him face-to-face with Niko — a man who spends December spreading cheer in a Santa suit, giving his time to good causes, and offering the kind of devotion that goes beyond seasonal charity. Niko prefers to nurture one special boy rather than casual flings, and in Dakota he finds exactly what he’s been missing: a bratty Little with big eyes, playful defiance, and a deep need for love and care. As sparks fly, their connection grows into something tender and transformative. This year, Santa isn’t just delivering gifts — he’s delivering the Daddy Dakota has been craving, and the promise of a love that can last beyond Christmas. I loved this story that blended holiday warmth with kink-positive intimacy, showing that sometimes the greatest gift is love wrapped in care and trust. I could really feel Dakota's sadness and despair when he was alone and so it was lovely that Santa here wasn't just a costume — he’s a metaphor for unconditional care, joy, and the promise of lasting love. Niko embodied the spirit of Santa by giving Dakota what he truly craves: not just milk or holiday cheer, but a Daddy who sees him, nurtures him, and stays. Easy to read and understand.

Cody, a young psychologist who overcame a difficult adolescence with the help of therapy, also attends pup night, carrying a secret desire he’s never shared. When their paths cross, the two men—different in age and outlook—find themselves drawn together. The story unfolds as an age-gap, opposites-attract gay romance, where Lorcan is offered a chance to rebuild his life, and Cody seeks someone willing to embrace what he has to give. I loved this story, which explored redemption, vulnerability, courage, and the transformative power of love. I also loved that Lorcan embodies the theme of rebuilding after devastation. A false accusation shattered his life, leaving him feeling that his best years were gone. His journey reflects the universal desire for second chances and the courage it takes to reclaim dignity and hope. I also loved that Cody’s story highlighted resilience in the face of rejection and trauma. Therapy gave him tools to survive and thrive, and now he channels that healing into helping others. His secret desire shows that even healers carry hidden vulnerabilities, reminding us that growth is ongoing and imperfect. This story needed to be about how vulnerability opens the door to renewal. It showed that even when life feels broken or past its prime, courage and connection can spark transformation. The age-gap romance underscores that healing and love are not bound by time — they are bound by honesty, trust, and the willingness to reach for what matters most. This was easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like Daddy/boy dynamic with puppy play. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0F7GNR8GH".

After Grayson’s release from serving eight years, Jeremy and Grayson begin working together in Haven’s shop. With his past debts cleared and a fresh start in the community, Grayson is determined to finally pursue the man he loves—Jeremy. I struggled with this story of enduring loyalty, redemption, and love, finally given a chance after years of separation. I found it hard to get my head around the men, their connection and their relationship. Having read other stories in the series, I did wonder why I found it so hard to get on with. I did, however, like the courage to pursue desire after years of silence, the resilience of bonds tested by hardship, and the healing power of community and second chances. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0DY1YYBQ2".

Haunted by a childhood lacking warmth, Felix has spent years prioritising business over family or joy. Clayton North, once loyal to his company for over two decades, is left jobless after restructuring. With his savings drained by his mother’s illness and grief weighing heavily after her death, he now works as a mall Santa’s helper, struggling with feelings of failure and loneliness. Despite their differences—Felix’s success and control versus Clayton’s vulnerability and brokenness—their paths cross. Felix must learn to open his heart, while Clayton must believe he is worthy of love. In the spirit of Christmas, their connection becomes a miracle: the gift of finding someone who makes you feel enough. I loved this story about healing through love, rediscovering joy in vulnerability, and finding belonging where you least expect it. I enjoyed that love redeemed both men — Felix from emotional detachment, and Clayton from despair. It was clear that Felix had learnt to prioritise love over business, proving that success isn’t only measured in profit, and that Clayton was seen and valued, even when he feels diminished by circumstance. Some moments that will cause some tears when you realise just how broken and isolated Clayton really is.

What begins as self-defence lessons grows into deep trust and friendship, with Pythor becoming the only person Codie feels secure around. Supported by Pythor and his loyal demonhound Hella, Codie slowly regains confidence to step beyond the isolation of his home. Discovering that Pythor is his fated mate surprises him, but only strengthens his desire to keep him close. When Codie’s past resurfaces, he knows his protective demon will stand by him. This story blended trauma recovery, trust, destiny, found family, and empowerment into a narrative about how love — even in its most unconventional forms — can heal and transform. I loved that it was rich with emotional and symbolic layers. After his sexual assault, Codie had isolated himself, hiding from the world. Pythor giving Codie self-defence classes and Hella being his protector were more than enough to give him his confidence back. Easy to read and understand.

His spotless truck and strict rules are shields against the silence of a loveless existence. Kyle Foster, twenty-two and reckless, bursts into Benson’s world with charm, chaos, and a desperate need for care. Hitchhiking west with nothing but a backpack, Kyle’s openness and laughter clash with Benson’s restraint, sparking tension and unexpected intimacy. Snowbound miles turn strangers into confidants as guarded silences give way to late-night confessions, cheap coffee, and tender moments neither planned. Benson wasn’t searching for a boy, and Kyle wasn’t seeking a Daddy — yet together they discover what happens when control collides with chaos, and buried tenderness demands to be seen. I enjoyed this story about two strangers finding love in motion, proving that sometimes the road to intimacy begins with collision. I liked that Benson’s rigid discipline met Kyle’s reckless freedom, creating friction that blossomed into connection and that both men carried emptiness, but the road became a space where vulnerability could surface. Neither man sought romance, yet their bond grew from chance encounters into something transformative. I also liked that beneath the banter and tension lies the possibility of healing through care and acceptance. Easy to read and understand.

But when a ruthless conspiracy tied to untouchable predators threatens everything he’s fought for, his world begins to unravel. At his side is Stone Michaelson — his most trusted soldier, his fiercest ally, and the man who has always been more than just a comrade. Their bond, forged in fire and sacrifice, now teeters on the edge of becoming something deeper, even as danger closes in. For Stone, Dave isn’t just a commander — he’s the reason to fight, the heart behind every mission. Together, they must battle enemies, betrayal, and their own unspoken truths. In a war where bullets may fail, power, loyalty, and love become their sharpest weapons. I loved this story which blended explosive action with emotional depth, proving that in the harshest battles, love can be the most unbreakable armour. I loved the way that the story showed that love is both dangerous (making them vulnerable) and redemptive (giving them purpose). I also loved that the story explored how redemption is not about erasing the past but transforming it into a foundation for a future together. It was also great to see that the story showed that strength emerges when power and vulnerability are embraced together — when Dave admitted his feelings, and Stone risked everything to stand by him. There were a lot of deep emotions and feelings in this story which had as much attention as the plots and fighting.

Once he dreamed of balancing a respected career with a private life of submission under the care of a devoted Daddy, but now insecurity and age weigh heavily on him. He wonders if it’s too late to embrace the life he longed for. Enter Perry — younger, confident, and undeniably Dominant. Though he finds Cullen infuriating, Perry is drawn to him in a way he hasn’t felt in years. He sees through Cullen’s defences, recognizing the boy who craves guidance, care, and love. As snarky banter and bratty sparks fly, their dynamic deepens into something tender and transformative. With plushie lion Leo as a symbol of Cullen’s vulnerability, Perry must convince him to trust, submit, and believe in the possibility of happiness. I loved this story where at the heart of it was whether Cullen could overcome insecurity and open his eyes to the Daddy standing right in front of him — and whether Perry can show him that love, discipline, and devotion are not dreams lost to time, but miracles waiting to be claimed. I loved that this story was told in a sensitive manner and that added to the romance of their relationship. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Behind the bar, he’s built a life defined by loyalty and silence — until Rhett, his first love and the only man who ever truly knew him, returns for the town reunion. Their reunion rekindles old sparks through secret gin tastings and stolen swims at Yellow Branch Falls, but a painful misunderstanding and the Mayor’s ultimatum threaten to tear them apart once more. Now Mose faces a choice: continue protecting his family’s livelihood and the town’s fragile facade, or risk everything for the chance to reclaim love with the man who still owns his heart. I loved this story of loyalty, secrecy, and the courage to choose love over fear. I also loved that the story asked if love is strong enough to break the chains of silence and sacrifice?

Scott 4 of 5 stars In the festive town of Wishing Tree, Vermont, cinnamon‑roll bookseller Wesley has built a cozy life running his beloved bookstore, free from the suffocating expectations of his wealthy family. Next door, Hunter — a former history lecturer turned reluctant coffee shop owner — hides behind gruff pragmatism and emotional walls. When Wesley’s relentless cheer and holiday spirit collide with Hunter’s guarded reserve, sparks fly. Their banter and irritation slowly give way to stolen kisses, quiet moments, and a growing bond that feels touched by Christmas magic. But just as love begins to blossom, fate threatens to separate them. With snowflakes falling and Christmas drawing near, Wesley and Hunter must decide whether their connection can withstand the storm — and if they’re ready to embrace a happily ever after together. I loved this story that blended romantic tension with holiday warmth, showing how love can thaw even the frostiest hearts. I loved that Wesley’s bookstore represented freedom — his escape from the suffocating expectations of wealth and family, but Hunter’s coffee shop symbolised duty via the inheritance he didn’t choose, binding him to responsibility and routine. I loved that this romance story was about choosing joy over fear, connection over isolation, and hope over resignation. Easy to read and understand.
