  IN GOOD SPIRITS by Helen Juliet Release Date: December 20, 2025 Audio Release Date: December 11, 2025 Review A really lovely holiday romance with a sweet little, a daddy on the mend, a daddy who can appreciate the love of another daddy, and a middle in the middle. Polyamory has many different forms, and these four men find themselves drawn to figuring out what that would look like for them. And it’s as beautiful as it sounds. Finding space emotionally for four people couldn’t be easy, but the care and communication these men take to make sure that each person feels seen, loved, and heard is heartwarming. If you like some warm and fuzzy holiday love with a side of steam, your spirits will definitely be good after reading this. It’s also wonderful as an audiobook. Narrated by Dan Calley, who is a dream. I’ve been known to listen to a story simply because he’s narrating! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Bah. Humbug. EVAN I didn’t always hate Christmas. But where most peo...

REVIEW: Kismet by Nicky James

  KISMET by Nicky James Release Date: December 22, 2025 Review Fantastically written, morally gray mystery romance, with many twists and turns, that will make you question your feelings and will have you unsure where you stand! I had to question my own feelings along the way - a serial killer is making a point, but now Kobe has to figure out what that is in order to solve it. His own feelings on the case, along with his burgeoning feelings for the new sexy pathologist, Dom, make for an emotional story.  Their romance is sweet and tender, surrounded by death and darkness. I enjoyed the hometown setting, exploring the city through the murderer, the detectives and these two men falling in love. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis My name is Dominique Chevalier, and I am broken. Two years ago, a beloved part of me died. Angelique was everything, but she left me alone. Alone with an infant, a broken heart, unimaginable pain, and a promise that I’ll never forget. After relo...

  SHORT STACK Short Stack - Volume One by Lily Morton Release Date: October 2, 2020 Audio Release Date: December 11, 2025 Narrated by Joel Leslie Review I can’t tell you how many times I full-on laughed out loud - walking down the street, shopping in the store, working at my desk. I literally couldn’t help myself. Honestly, these snippets of beloved characters brought me absolute joy. Funny, tender, and always swoony. And we should definitely talk about Joel Leslie’s skill as a narrator. That man has such talent, and this volume of short stories with so many different characters really highlights how amazing he is at voices and personalities. Lily and Joel are a match made in heaven. Gah, I adore all the characters, and it’s wonderful to get additional hits of them, like the hits of sugar I get with each Christmas cookie I’ve been eating this holiday season.

REVIEW: Texas Snow by Kelly Fox (Novella)

  TEXAS SNOW by Kelly Fox Release Date: December 3, 2025 Review I previously read the original novella, and I loved it a lot. This newly expanded version just makes it that much better.  A morally grey, swoony, exciting, Christmas romance. A murderer and criminal captures the heart of the detective who arrested him. What’s not to love about that?! Jesse has plenty of time in jail to think about the sexy detective that helped but him away - what he would do to him once he’s out. Sometimes naughty, but mostly vengeful.  He finally gets the chance, running for his life, and now, snowed in with Rafferty. It’s still touch and go as to whether or not he’ll take his revenge or just take him to bed. Neither man is as black and white as they would appear on the surface, and people aren’t always who they are by their own choice. I love the way they find common ground and choose trust and love.
