Book 880: The Geek Who Saved Christmas – Annabeth Albert

Ya’ll, I’m still not sure Annabeth Albert can write a bad book. I’m serious, she’s written books I was sort of meh about but they weren’t bad, they just weren’t for me and that’s okay. A few months ago I finally joined her Facebook group (Annabeth’s Angels) and have thoroughly enjoyed it and it was how I ended up with an ARC of this adorable Christmas romp.*

It took longer to get to than expected, stupid work, but as soon as I started reading I blazed through it. I want to note right off that I am so impressed with this ARC, it had fewer errors than many final books I read by self-published authors. I expect nothing less from Albert, but this was her first self-published ARC I’ve read even though I’ve read others via her publishers on NetGalley.

Book 879: Mr. Jingle Bells (Home of the Holidays #3) – Leta Blake

Three books later, I’ve finally gotten around to the ARC that I requested because it was an opposites attract fake boyfriend story—of course I was going to request it.*

This is the story of Walker, boring frat boy business man whose mom tried to set him up with Casey from Mr. Frosty Pants, and Ashton, glamorous social media rockstar whose sister tried to set him up with Joel from Mr. Frosty Pants. Since that book ended, Casey and Joel have married and Casey, Ashton and Walker have started a marketing company.

Book 878: Mr. Naughty List (Home for the Holidays #2) – Leta Blake

Kindle Unlimited is both a curse and a blessing. There are some well written and incredibly poor written books on there, and there are SO MANY books. You’ll never really be at a loss for something if you’re cool with self-publishing (which is always hit or miss), don’t want to read anything from most major publishers, and aren’t looking for the hot new release. So yeah, definitely hit or miss.

It was a hit for me after having received a review request for Mr. Jingle Bells, the third book in Leta Blake’s Home for the Holidays series. I was able to grab Mr. Frosty Pants and this one. And let me tell you, this one REALLY picks up the spice and the heat. I’m talking full on kink-tacular Christmas celebration with costumes and spanking and other stuff too.

Book 876: Mr. Frosty Pants (Home for the Holidays #1) – Leta Blake

I hadn’t planned to start my MM Holiday Romance binge this early, but when I started getting requests for reviews, including the third book in this series, it was inevitable that I’d start sooner than expected.

The challenge I face when I get sucked in by a blurb is whether or not to go back and read the books earlier in the series. Even if they’re “stand alone” I truly love it when they’re inter connected even if it’s just quick glimpses of future characters. That common thread is just the best to me. Thankfully, when I saw Mr. Jingle Bells I liked the idea of this one (the first) and am sort of meh about the second in the series Mr. Naughty List so thought why not.

Book 872: The Lights on Knockbridge Lane (Garnet Run #3) – Roan Parrish

I originally requested a copy of this from the publisher but was denied 🙁 Thankfully, my local library got digital copies so I didn’t have to wait too long! I’m still a little disgruntled they only had an “e-book” and not a kindle version, but I’ll get over it at least I got to read it!

After reading the first two books in Parrish’s Garnet Run series, Better Than People and Best Laid Plans, I had such high expectations for this one. In some ways it met them, Parrish is a wonderful author, but in other ways it fell short for me.
