Eli Easton – Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes: A Christmas Road Trip Romance

RJ Scott MM Romance Christmas Reviewshttps://geni.us/MMRRCPTH

Joe knows where he is going in life. But one crazy road trip might just change everything.

Joe Blankenship knows where he’s going. He’s on track to marry the boss’s daughter and become heir apparent to a multi-million dollar medical supply business. The financial security he never had growing up is within his grasp along with a glitzy Manhattan lifestyle. All he has to do is get to New York by Christmas Eve for his engagement party.

Joe didn’t count on getting grounded in Florida thanks to a hurricane. He couldn’t have anticipated having to rent a broken-down car for the long drive north. And he certainly never foresaw being stuck with a passenger like Remy Guidry, a sweet-natured Cajun boy, social worker at a children’s home, and free spirit. Remy is the opposite of everything Joe has worked for. But he just might teach Joe, not only the spirit of Christmas, but what’s truly of value in life.

Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes is a Christmas road trip, forced proximity, opposites attract romance.

Take it from me, if you love a christmas story, you'll love Eli's!


Amy Aislin – Get Frosted (Christmas Falls, book 1)

RJ Scott MM Romance Christmas Reviewshttps://readerlinks.com/l/3673468

For years, Mik has wanted nothing more than to put coal in Rudy Snow’s stocking.

As former pro hockey players, they’ve been rivals for years. It started in Mik’s rookie season, when a reporter pitted him against his older brother’s best friend. Rudy pushes Mik’s buttons like no one else, going out of his way to one-up him at every turn.

Now they’re both pub owners in a small town that takes Christmas to a level best seen in Hallmark movies, but not much else has changed. They’re still rivals, this time pitting gingerbread martinis against pomegranate sangria.

But when they’re forced to work together to plan a special holiday party, sparks ignite. Maybe it’s a bad idea to put coal in Rudy’s stocking after all. They both might just catch fire.

Then again, what better way is there to stay warm on a cold winter’s night?

Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.

Harper Robson – An Unexpected Gift: A Hot Dam Homes Christmas

RJ Scott MM Romance Christmas Reviewshttps://geni.us/HRAUG

Matt

Discovering you're not as straight as you thought when you're in your mid-forties is… well… interesting. But a one-night stand over a year ago turned my world upside down, and now I'm ready to explore that side of myself. But no matter who I date, no one compares to him.

Case

I'm the party guy, always down for a good time with only one rule: I don't do repeats. I knew right away, though, that one night with Matt would never be enough. But when I woke up, he was gone, and I can't get him out of my head.

When we somehow end up trapped together during the blizzard of the century, over Christmas, I'm not sure if it's a gift or a curse. Should I hold tight to the rule that’s kept my heart safe for years? Or does it mean something that we’ve found each other again after a night neither one of us could forget?

My quick review: This is a story from last year that I must have missed :O This was such a sweet Christmas story… trapped in a cabin, snow storm of the century, and two interesting characters that I just wanted to get together. Loved it. 5/5

Cupcakes and Christmas

Author: RJ Scott
Series: Audio - Christmas
Genre: Christmas Romance

The story of long nights in a wintry mountain hotel, a baking show with secrets, a snowman called Jeremy, and finding the greatest love of all in this "Bake Off" inspired MM Christmas Romance.

After winning season four of ratings hit the World’s Best Baking Show, Brody Thomas had become a sought-after cake maker to the stars. Happily married, he dreamed of a bright future, but his perfect life imploded when he discovered that his husband had done nothing but lie to him. A year later, Brody is mid-divorce, and his life has been turned upside down, so being part of the WBBS charity event is excellent timing. He’s sure it will give him time away from home and space to get his head straight, only he never expected to meet the man of his dreams in a snowy Alberta.

Winning season one of WBBS gave Justin Mallory a chance to outrun the demons of a childhood lost in the foster system. He’s a social media influencer, with millions of followers, and works every hour to make money that equals security for the rest of his life. His marketing team signs him up for the WBBS Christmas charity show, but he’s convinced he’ll fall at the first hurdle. Only, after a few days in the competition, his worry isn’t that he’ll be the first to leave, it’s that he’ll lose his heart to a rival baker, Brody.

    I purchased Harper Robson’s book (An Unexpected Gift) last year and am planning to read it this year. I love holiday stories! I wonder how soon is too soon to start reading holiday books. I usually try to wait until mid-November which is after my birthday. The recommendations are great although they keep extending my TBR list!

    I’m so excited to dive into NR Walker’s new Christmas book: Holiday Heart Strings.
    it’s book 4 of the series and so far they’ve all been wonderful. if you haven’t read her Heartbridge series, start with Tic Tac Mistletoe. you won’t regret it!

    But any heartwarming Christmas story by any MM author bring the seasonal feels. I love me some Holiday romance!
