REVIEW - The Krampus's First Christmas Gift by Gigi Rivers (MM Monster Christmas #6)

Image
  THE KRAMPUS’S FIRST CHRISTMAS GIFT MM Monster Christmas - Book Six by Gigi Rivers Release Date: December 19, 2025 Review The last of the series is bittersweet. This lovely, warm, and accepting family of hearth witches are officially coupled up and blissfully happy! The final story is our other twin, Jasper. While his brother Leo is falling in love with a phoenix, Jasper is soon to discover his ‘one’ is a lonely Krampus who doesn’t fit in his family or the stereotype of one.   Battling an illness no one can figure out, the only that brings real relief is going back to the woods where he almost drowned and being near Kraghol. Kraghol is sweet and kind and deeply traumatized by the fear people have of his kind. It’s what holds him back from truly accepting a relationship with the witch. But being willing to fight for something can go a long way. While I'm still not pleased with Jasper and how he treated his brother, I love this couple and the life, love, and acceptance the...

REVIEW: Saddle to Sunup by Emmy Sanders (The Darling Brothers #3)

Image
  SADDLE TO SUNUP The Darling Brothers - Book Three by Emmy Sanders Release Date: December 18, 2025 Review Saddle to Sunup gives me Fool Hearts vibes.  Best friends, pinning, and an unending commitment to supporting and loving each other. Emmy writes those epic love stories that span a lifetime incredibly well. Stories that will stick with you forever. And Lawson and Oakley are two such men.  The Peter Pan theme was heart-warming, and the oldest Darling brother finally finding himself and a love that is perfect for him is everything. The Darling family is chaotic and loud, and love hard, and I enjoy them all immensely, but there’s something about the quieter caregiver, who is terrible at asking for help and care for himself, getting all of that and more from the perfect-for-him Oakley. They have to learn to trust that their friendship can be more, but when they do…hearts in your eyes, fireworks explode, house cow distribution system finds you, and Santa brings you everyth...

REVIEW: Under Gorse and Stone by Lily Morton

  UNDER GORSE AND STONE by Lily Morton Release Date: December 17, 2025 Review What a wonderful world of myth and fantasy that Lily has indulged us in.  Magic abounds in this gorgeous tale that draws together Cary and Sigurd on a Cornish beach one holiday season. Like it was destined to be. Dragon and human find love, home and their mate. I love the fable elements, even if I wasn’t familiar with many, it’s not something we have a lot of in Canada, and I’m always jealous of places and cultures that do. And even more fun when two really wonderful and complex men find love along the way.  Especially when one is a dragon!! Seriously, what I wouldn’t give for dragons to be real! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Cary Sutton isn’t surprised when his boyfriend walks out on him during a holiday in Cornwall at Christmas. It’s far from the first time that someone's accused him of being cold—both inside and out. Cary’s spent his whole life feeling like he’s separated from ...
