Review: If you’re looking for a feel good, low-angst, sugary sweet Holiday story, this is it!

In fact, Paris is so sweet and perfect he’s left me feeling inadequate! I think this story should be in the fantasy category, because I personally don’t know anyone who keeps house, cooks, entertains, does accounting, and childcare quite as perfect as Paris does. (Well, and keeps a smile and plenty of energy while doing it!)

A cute Christmas story about a sweet subby orphan finding his Christmas wish!

Blurb:   Myles and Ed were broadsided on their way to get married and the accident left Myles burned and scarred. For Ed, Myles was his soul mate and the accident had done nothing to change that. For Myles, it had changed everything and he disappeared.

Faced with a perfunctory verbal Dear John from Myles’s father and told to move on, Ed did the only thing he could–searched frantically for the man he loved.

Two days before Christmas, Ed finds himself on the road to his last hope, an address to a remote cabin high in the Adirondack Mountains. But will Myles be there and, more importantly, will Ed be able to convince him that together is where they belong?

Review:  Two days shy of Christmas Ed sets out on a road trip that could prove to be just another wild goose chase. You see he and his fiancé were in a car accident almost a year ago, en route to their wedding. Myles was injured and disfigured in the crash and disappeared soon after, leaving Ed heartbroken and determined to find him. Ed has followed one lead after another in a desperate attempt to find Myles, perhaps this lead that is sending him to the Adirondack Mountains in a snow storm will finally bring the almost newlyweds back together.

This was a cute and endearing Holiday read. I loved the moral of the story, that Ed loved Myles regardless of what kind of wrapping the package was in. Very fitting for the season! If you’re looking for something fun with a soul mate aspect and just a touch of heavy petting, this just might be the novella for you.

Blurb:   Stoly tells his lover, Ramsay, that not only is he an alien, but he wants to undergo a ceremony that will give the couple everlasting life. It sounds like a no-brainer, but Ramsay only has until Christmas to decide.

Ramsay Worthington faces a life-changing decision, one without precedent. One choice means he can be with his lover, Stoly, forever–as in immortality. Not the vampire stuff, it’s not supernatural–it’s extraterrestrial. When Ramsay looks back over their life together, at what they share and mean to each other, maybe making the decision won’t be as hard as he originally thought.

Stoly Chevnka reaches maturity and needs to undergo a ritual, by December 25, 2013 that will make him immortal or allow him to live a human life span. He’s made his choice–as far as he’s concerned, whichever way his lover Ramsay goes is where Stoly will go. Either way, it’s going to be the best Christmas ever–the two belong together, no matter what.

Review: This is a very interesting, unique and sweet story.  I loved that it’s about aliens but not using big words and is set in the present world.  I think it’s a good place to start to slowly break into the Sci-fi world if you’re not into the out there names and worlds. I found it a sweet romance that was fun to read.

Ramsay and Stoly have been together for several years and have a very good relationship, and then Stoly tells Ramsay he is an alien and has to go through a rite to choose eternity or live as a mortal. Stoly knows his choice is whatever Ramsay wants and hopes it includes him.

This story skips around a bit as it starts out in the present then regresses a couple of months back to when Stoly dropped the news. The switch was pretty smooth, though I found a few things where the viewpoint jumps from one character to the other had a few repetitions.  I also would have loved more background on both of these guys. I’d love a full book instead of just a short story.

However, I loved the emotions that both men were enduring and the loving sweetness of the story. I couldn’t put it down once I started.

I highly recommend this if you like a loving, committed relationship, difficult decisions, aliens and sensual sweet man-sex.

Blurb: Jess Venable and Damon Oliver are proud parents of five-year-old, Madison. When they find out another child has told her that Santa isn’t real, Damon and Jess set out to prove to her he is.

Damon Oliver can hardly believe what he’s hearing when his five-year-old daughter, Madison, tells him another child has said there is no such thing as Santa Claus. Believing no child should have their belief stolen from them, Damon enlists the help of his husband, Jess Venable, to show her that Santa is indeed real.

Review: This was a very enjoyable Christmas story. I truly loved the story. It was told with a cute little twist. It was both humorous, with a bit of seriousness added in.

Jess and Damon would do anything for their family. Even going as far to show their daughter that Santa is indeed real. Damon is so adorable and loving that you would fall in love with him right from the start. Jess is a bit of a character, kind of a joker it would seem. The sex between them is, of course, behind locked doors and full of love and tenderness.

I sat down and read this story, wishing that I had a family like this; one that has so much love and such a caring atmosphere that you can’t help but want to read this every Christmas.

Blurb: A familiar tale, with a twist. Vern is a penniless match boy, rescued by Oren, an inventor, Can Vern win Oren’s heart with a specially crafted gift?

A familiar tale with a twist. Vern’s life as a poor match boy is hard and cruel. Starving and freezing, he loses consciousness, and when he awakens, thinks he must have died and gone to heaven.

Instead he finds he’s been rescued by Oren, a doctor and inventor, who lives with his sister and brother-in-law.

Each man is attracted to the other, but each fear to speak of the attraction, thinking it would be misinterpreted–especially when a friend of Oren’s seeks to keep the couple apart.

But Vern has a plan. He crafts a gift for Oren, intended to reveal his heart in a way he’s unable to put into words.

Will the match boy’s gift win the heart of the inventor?

Review: I love these old classics done over. I always loved the little match girl and it made me cry.  Now The Match boy is on my favourite list.

This story at the beginning follows the original with the match boy on the corner cold, hungry and alone. The first few paragraphs had me tearing up and my sisters laughing at me. The writing was emotional, heartfelt and poignant. When the man in the carriage showed up and the story took on the new take I was elated. The story still kept its roots, sounded old-fashioned and charming yet the clockwork horse and automaton gave it a steampunk feel without going overboard and losing the origin of the story. I also loved the MM twist on the old tale, tough it is very heartfelt and sensual.

I adored both Oren and Vern. All the supporting characters were also charming and I loved the twists and turns that take place. I loved the sensuality of the sex when it finally took place. I didn’t want to put this down once I started to see where the story went. I will say I was very very happy at the ending.

If you like old classic tales with a new twist, a little steampunk, fairy-tale endings, loving sensuous mansex and a wonderful holiday story this is definitely one for you!
