Review: Santa's Knotty Workshop by Jena Wade by Lorelei M. Hart 2 of 5 stars

Santa's Knotty Workshop by Jena Wade by Lorelei M. Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Percy is transferred to a new workshop where he feels out of place and inexperienced. While working, he stumbles upon a mysterious toy that seems destined for him, and in a bold moment, he takes it despite the risks. Later, Percy discovers the toy was modelled after the famous Santa 69, who unexpectedly appears at his door. But Santa isn’t interested in reclaiming the toy—he’s interested in Percy himself.

This story was a playful holiday romance about fate, courage, and the surprise of finding love where you least expect it. I liked that the Christmas setting framed the story as one of unexpected miracles and second chances, and that Percy’s naivety contrasted with the boldness of his choices, highlighting his growth and self‑discovery. The story was quite high-level and focused on mature themes, so I felt they could have delved more into the emotions and feelings experienced by both. This was an MM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: A Little Christmas: Oscar's Secret by Jena Wade 3 of 5 stars

A Little Christmas: Oscar's Secret by Jena Wade
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oscar inherited a house from a relative he never knew existed and has now moved to a new city into that house and started a new job. It's all a bit overwhelming and he needs a Daddy to help him handle it all so he can slip into his little space and survive. Maxwell lives next door and he is a sexy Daddy who doesn't seem to want a Little permanently but maybe for now Oscar can survive with the playtime he is willing to give.

I had so much sympathy for Oscar when he found himself in a house on his own in a new town without friends or a Daddy nearby to care for him. Maxwell showed all of the signs of wanting to be his Daddy he just lacked the confidence to fully take on the role. I just wanted to hug Oscar and tell him everything would be ok. I loved some of the side characters who were so kind to Oscar as well as trying to persuade Maxwell that he was enough. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: Dancer by Jena Wade 3 of 5 stars

Dancer by Jena Wade
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alpha reindeer shifter Dancer has been a member of a Santa sleigh team for a long time. He needs to take a vacation because Santa is insisting so he decides on a Michigan autumn tour. Milton is an Omega reindeer shifter who hates Christmas but has somehow landed on vacation in a cabin with Dancer. Can Milton open his heart to heal past hurts and Dancer can open his mind to realize the holiday season is hard on a lot of people…

This was a sweet holiday story with opposites attract kind of feeling considering the dislike of Milton for Dasher and what he stands for. I loved that Milton slowly came around and that they found a way to direct all of that passion into something different. This was easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content with Mpreg as it is set in the Omegaverse.

Review: Heartbreaker by Maddie Wade by Pavan Kaur 4 of 5 stars

Heartbreaker by Maddie Wade by Pavan Kaur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jackson is known as the Heartbreaker but when he meets Ashley he is completely smitten and finds her like a drug that he cannot (indeed will not) give her up. Ashley is not prepared to settle down now that her life and business are coming together nicely. However when she meets Jackson she finds that she craves his touch and voice even though he is completely different to her. Can she walk away or can she live with those differences in order to be happy?

This is a charming love story that will definitely leave you feeling warm and gooey. Their differences seemed vast but attraction moved past that. I found the story a little fantastical in places but it did come back to the more basic parts of this kind of story. There were the obligatory set of issues with past loves or family which was a little monotonous, but it was definitely an integral part of the story. Well written and very clear and easy to understand.
