RJ …One of my favorites for this Christmas – highly recommended
Charlie Novak – Up to Snow GoodThis Christmas, Trouble Tastes Like Chocolate
Maximillian Arthur Felstead is up to no good.
Having taken it upon himself to plan an anniversary surprise for his brother and his fiancé during their annual December ski trip, Max realises nothing happens quickly this close to Christmas. Deciding chocolate is the answer, Max accidentally incurs the wrath of chocolatier, Luca, who’s having a pre-Christmas nightmare of his own.
Luca is short staffed and short on patience, and he isn’t enamoured with Max’s clueless demands, even if he is utterly gorgeous. So when Max reaches out to apologise, Luca can’t help but be drawn in by his charm and Max’s offer of help, especially when their chemistry is hot enough to melt the ice on Mont Blanc.
With their time together running out, can a little Christmas magic help Max and Luca find what they’ve been searching for?
Up to Snow Good is a 49,000-word, low-angst MM contemporary Christmas romance featuring snow-topped mountains, Christmas market cuteness, delicious chocolate, and plenty of sweet, steamy moments.

RJ … this was just the loveliest Christmas book 🙂
Annabelle Jacobs – Christmas SpiritDylan’s Cornish retreat wasn’t supposed to include a hot bloke and a cupid-playing ghost…
After tearing his Achilles tendon, recuperating by the sea sounds like a fantastic idea, and Dylan happily accepts his best mate’s offer to stay with him and his uncle for a few weeks. But he hadn’t counted on the uncle being smoking hot, or the fierce attraction that blossoms between them.
Swapping the busy streets of London for the easy pace of Cornish life is exactly what Gareth needs to move on with his own life. His new home requires a little TLC, but he’d expected that. What he hadn’t expected was the ghostly resident already living there.
A ten-year age gap isn’t the only issue standing between Dylan and Gareth. Their time together has an expiration date. By Christmas, Dylan will back home in Bristol spending the holidays with his dad, leaving Gareth all alone. Luckily for them, a matchmaking Christmas Spirit has other ideas.
A Christmas MM romance featuring a meet-cute, pining, a meddling ghost, a teeny bit of angst, and a festive HEA.

RJ … awww, what a lovely warm, cozy start to Christmas. This book was lovely… Donovan next, right? Highly recommended LOL. X
Amy Aislin – A Gift Wrapped HolidayMal’s first priority is giving his six-year-old son the best Christmas ever, a goal made trickier by a recent move to New England after losing his job. As a single dad, he’s not looking for romance—especially not with a blond California boy ten years his junior.
After being ridiculed at the family business, Luca sets out to prove himself by opening an eco-friendly gift-wrapping store in a small town with a hard-on for Christmas that’s about as far from LA as he can get. Out of his comfort zone in snowy Maine, love is the last thing on his mind.
But the magic of the season has other ideas. As Mal and Luca collide on wintery streets, will they let their first Christmas in Lighthouse Bay lead to happily ever after?

Jodi Payne & BA Tortuga – Cowboy ProtectionMaverick “Mackey” Keyes keeps the rodeo cowboys safe on his watch and he knows how to make his bullfighting team walk the line. He might be starting to feel his years, but he’s a pro, and he’s not afraid of anything that might happen on the arena floor.
Sidney Scott knows how to go with the flow, so when his dream job passes him by, he grabs the chance to work the bull riding circuit as a TV producer. He’s going to do the job right, traveling with the show, even if he hears some rumbling from the riders.
Mackey and Sid butt heads more than once, but when it really counts, they manage to get on the same page. When Mackey is injured, Sid steps up to help, and things take a far more personal turn. They might have been able to ignore the growing attraction between them at work, but a long road trip over the Christmas holiday and time away from the other cowboys lets them find something together that neither of them expect, but both of them need.
Cowboy Protection is an opposites attract, rodeo romance featuring a bullfighter and a corporate suit, with a side of holiday magic.

Aria Grace – Love at Frost Bite: DonnySome gifts don’t come in a neat little package with a bow on top.
Donny was raised to help others. As the alpha son of the top woodsmith in the village, he grew up always building for others and making sure they had what they needed. And he loved that. But as he’s gotten older, he’s realized that if he truly wants to be happy, he may have to put himself first once in a while.
Chad loves Christmas time. The lights, the songs, the cookies–it’s everything that brings him joy in life. Which leaves him without much joy the rest of the year. As a single omega who isn’t getting any younger, he’s coming closer to accepting the fact that he’ll always be alone. And those few months of happiness are all he has to hold onto.
But when a freak accident leaves a baby in need of love, both Chad and Donny are the only ones around to help. And both are conflicted about their reasons…as well as the unexpected feelings they have for each other.

Joe Satoria – Cookie Cutter Daddy (My Little’s Wishlist 1)One delicious baker Daddy. One sweet cookie devouring boy.
Mason loved the holidays, especially when it brought in his favorite customer. He’ll do anything to impress him. But will he finally make a move?
Leland volunteered for the holidays, and it put him in the path of his all-time favorite place. A bakery with a smokin’ hot tatted owner. Maybe if he wishes hard enough, he’ll receive his Christmas wish early.
Decorating cookies and drinking hot chocolate is the dream, but doing all of that with someone you love is a dreamgasm.
Order up… one Daddy feeding one little.
Cookie Cutter Daddy is a fluffy, low angst holiday romance novella. It’s sweet, steamy, and may contain nuts. Each story can be read as a standalone with a guaranteed HEA.

Have a wonderful Festive Season

Hi. I have Up to Snow Good out on Kindle Unlimited so that’s next to read. I just finished Snow Way In Hell by the same author.
Hi. Happy to receive all of the new releases. I’m most looking forward to Love At Frost Bite: Donny by Aria Grace.
Your book list is perfect for me to find all the Christmas feel good stories. Thank You.
I love these suggestions, thank you for doing this đź’—
Thanks for all the newsletters
I read Up to Snow Good, Christmas Spirit and A Gift Wrapped Christmas already and I agree, I want Donovan to have his own book. That book is basically a Hallmark movie in a book.
Hi! I loved Up to snow good!
Can’t wait to get my signed copy of The Christmas Throwaway!
Already ordered on Etsy, so looking forward to that and the illustrations too 🥰
I also would like Christmas Spirit by Annabelle Jacobs as I ❤️ books based where I live in Devon & Cornwall
Hi! I am really excited about A Gift Wrapped Holiday and Up to Snow Good. With how many holiday books already on my TBR list, I will probably still be reading them in May.
Up to Snow Good is great ❤️
Am excited for Amy Aislin’s as I love heading back to Christmas Lane <3 and I love all of Jodi and BA's cowboy romances <3

Just saying Hi, hope you have a great holiday season.
I like the description you gave of Up to Snow Good. I really want to read it.
I’m looking forward to Joe Satoria’s Cookie Cutter Daddy. I just one-clicked it this morning. But they all look great.
I love holiday stories!
Of these, I’ve only read Cowboy Protection so far (I so want an epilogue, but I’m guessing the next book will pick up soon after) but I have at least 3 of them waiting on my kindle.
Not Christmas, but I spent part of Thanksgiving and then an hour this morning finishing AJ Sherwood’s How I Stole the Princess’ White Knight and Turned Him to Villany. Such a romp while also being a triumph of good over evil!
Hi RJ! I love the cover of Christmas Spirit. There are a few other covers I like as well but that one fits the book so well. Thank you for this newsletter as you offer a few books that have not popped up on my Bookbub recs or in other newsletters I receive.
I’m looking forward to Cookie Cutter Daddy.
