North's Pole by Leta Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The son of Hollywood royalty, North Astor-Ford has lived his entire life in the public’s eye. He knows better than anyone that someone is always watching. So when one not-so-innocent picture meant for a hook-up accidentally ends up crossposted across all his social media, North is left humiliated and scared. With no one to turn to, he flees to Camp Bay Chalet to be close to the one person he used to count on to protect him from the world. Liam’s life has been in a holding pattern since the moment North fired him three years ago, even if it was for the best. A romance between a bodyguard and his client would’ve caused exactly the sort of scandal Liam was hired to prevent. Now that North is back in his orbit, Liam’s going to do what he does best, protect North from the world. And maybe, just maybe, the charm of a Camp Bay Chalet Christmas will be enough to both heal North and bring about the romance they’ve both always wanted.

This was a sweet story about North and how his life was and after a catastrophic mistake he ran to Liam. I loved their relationship and that the time for them to be together was now and that they balanced each other well. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Casey Stevens went away to college four years ago, he ghosted on his best friend, Joel Vreeland. He hoped time and distance would lessen the unrequited affection he felt, but all it did was make him miss Joel more. Home for the holidays, Casey hopes they might find a way to be friends again. But Joel’s frosty reception reminds Casey of just how hard he had to fight to be Joel’s friend in the first place. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to get past that cool façade again. Joel's years of pining for Casey have left him hurting and alone, caring for his abusive father and struggling to get by. Unable to trust anyone except his rescue dog his icy heart might shatter before it can thaw. Can Casey and Joel’s love overcome mistrust, parental rejection, class differences, and four long years apart?

This was an ok story although I did find it hard going as I found that my irritation with the characters detracted from the story. I did like that they were together and it gave them the strength to go against the negativity of their families. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: My December Daddy by Leta Blake 3 of 5 stars

My December Daddy by Leta Blake
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Matthew Angel is stuck. He's spent his life denying who he is and what he truly want until he stumbles upon a unique offering at a specialty charity auction. Erik Garner has given up on relationships. After his last boy left, he decided it’s better to skip the heartache and stick with casual, short-term contracts. His offer of an exclusive, one-night-only Christmas encounter is all he’s willing to give. Matthew’s older than expected, but his shy smile and eager surrender charm Erik. What starts out as a business transaction quickly gives way to a wild, thrilling intensity neither expected. One night isn’t enough. Good thing there’s a blizzard on the way.

This was a sweet story of a man taking a chance to experience what he has dreamed about for years and the Daddy who helped him. I loved the care that Erik took with Matthew and how the love between them developed slowly. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like Daddy/boy dynamic.
