Lane delivers a wonderfully grumpy festive romance

The Humbug Holiday coverThe Humbug Holiday by Lane Hayes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I usually love anything Lane writes but I have to say this one turned out to be a favourite.

There’s not much I love more than a romance between two older MCs who’ve not really been bothered about relationships before, or who’ve been “done dirty” by a previous lover and are wary of anything new.

Here we get a match of both, coupled with each character having to deal with painful memories which occurred around Christmas making them avoid celebrating the season.

I fell for Joe and Cameron big time. Each of them has dealt with a horrible situation by essentially shutting it out and ignoring any kind of celebrating.

Their paths cross when Joe’s hired to do work on Cam’s house and what Lane gives us is two men who are attracted to each other muddling their way into a relationship without realising what’s happening.

It’s incredibly hot, very sweet, highly emotional and has a subtle humour that stops things becoming cloying.

Perfect for a festive romance and while it’s a standalone at this time, I’d love to see more in this setting.

This book had me raging, laughing and going awwww!

8_V&V_Everly_ebook_FINALInsatiable by Rhys Everly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book a lot, it made me laugh, it made me go awwww a lot, and it made me a bit ragey at times too – all good things!

The narrative has an interesting premise, as it mixes both a fake relationship and a kind of opposites attract scenario with two men who are at odds from the start.

Throw in a bet you know is going to come back to bite someone on the proverbial later and things scoot along at a great pace.

Logan’s character and backstory really made me laugh, it’s not your typical book hero style to be an unrepentant one and done hook-up erotic writer! But Brody, he made my heart hurt because he was so badly wounded by his d**k of an ex.

The plot worked well for me. It felt organic and true that the more they interacted, the more their commonalities would actually draw them together.

The instant attraction was clear, but I also fully believed in them falling for the other as they worked to help Brody’s maple wine business flourish.

All in all, another solid addition to this pretty fabulous series.
