REVIEW: 12 Dates of Christmas by Brigham Vaughn (Christmas Falls Season 2)

  12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS Christmas Falls - Season 2 by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: November 19, 2024 Review Widower Nick is a matchmaker, but he’s falling down on the job when it comes to finding Leo a match. And he really isn’t unconsciously sabotaging it because he has the hots for the younger man. I love a good second chance story, and the dates gone awry were a lot of fun. Seriously, I’m never looking at a man in an elf costume the same way. I really liked Nick. He was warm and lovely, and it’s not surprising there are some starts and stops to his dating for the first time since his wife died.  Leo was good, but I never fell in love with him.  He was a little too over-dramatic and it kinda of felt like it was always about him. I really loved getting to see Joel and Hayden again, I adored their story from the first season, and they are still cute AF.

DECK THE HULLS Silver Shoals Series by Kat Cassidy Release Date: November 19, 2024 Review What a great story. When things go awry, poor decisions are made, and a sweet romance is started, you get Deck the Hulls. Adam accidentally kidnaps Elijah while ‘borrowing’ his boat to dispose of a body he didn’t kill. The poor guy really was trying to turn his life around, it was just harder than he thought. But after meeting the boat captain hopped up on cold medicine and bossier than he looks, he falls hook line and sinker. It’s such a fun story, and it keeps you guessing about how he’s going to get out of this mess, but Elijah sweeps us all off our feet, and they get their dreamy happy ever after. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis This Christmas, he’s hiding more than his identity… Fresh from a life tangled with the Greek mob in LA, Adam Sgouros is starting over in witness protection—but he feels unmoored in his new small-town existence.

  THE PLAYER by Lily Morton Release Date: November 18, 2024 Audio Release Date: November 14, 2024 Review Con and Frankie are such a lot of fun, as is their story.  Between their mutual pinning, some awkward misunderstandings, and some really great side characters (including a crime-obsessed parrot), this is a thoroughly enjoyable story. Frankie is widowed by Con’s best friend. But even if he hadn’t died, it’s inevitable that these two would have found their way to each other. They’re perfect for one another. Best friends and lovers. Set in a quaint village with open garden days, meddling neighbours - really, the whole shebang. It’s exactly what I love about Lily’s writing.   Not to mention that the narration is done by Joel Leslie, who always delivers a top-notch performance.  It’s like Lily and He are made for each other.

  SNOWED IN Charity Anthology by EM Lindsey, Kiki Clark, Nicole Dykes, Crea Reitan, AM Johnson, Dianna Roman, Cora Rose, Kelly Fox & Lark Taylor Release Date: November 18, 2024 Review Snowed in together - can you get more holiday romance than that?! And I love all the diverse takes and styles. If I Had the Chance - EM Lindsey When this started I thought maybe I had read it already but then I remembered they were side characters in a previous story, and I’m so pleased to see them get a Christmas love story. Super sweet and cozy - our uber-intelligent nerds find love and coziness Merry Scroogemas - Kiki Clark Our mountain recluse gets an unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome guest for the holidays after a car crash in a snowstorm.
