NOEL I WON’T

by DJ Jamison

Release Date: November 18, 2025

Review

A wonderful, warm, & classic Christmas romance. Complete with a tree farm, big city boy comes home, lots of holiday goodness, and enough food to make you want to open your own restaurant.


Noel has been chasing his dream as a chef, and running away from the small town he grew up in.  He’s not necessarily thrilled to be coming home, especially when he learns his high school crush has been helping his parents.


Sparks between Noel and Hopper, but with time, and the distraction of the holiday season, so much love and warmth is built between them.


Bring on the Christmas goodness!

Synopsis

Will I give my heart away this holiday season? Noel, I won't.


When my first head chef gig implodes and I find out my dad has a health crisis, I go home for the holidays.


Only to find the lovable farmboy next door has moved in.


He's helping my parents run our family's Christmas tree farm. Has moved into my house. Has seemingly *replaced* me.


He may be gorgeous and a hard worker and even sweet when he wants to be, but I can't step aside for him. Can't let my parents continue to struggle with the farm.


Not even when we find new life for the farm--and for me as a chef.


Not even when Hopper warms my bed every night.


I might be falling in love--with Hopper, with my hometown, with a life I could never envision when I was eighteen and desperate to leave. But I vowed long ago that I'd never be happy in small-town Nebraska.


But when Hopper asks me not to leave him, what can I say except...


Noel I Won't.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
