Review: A Baby for Christmas by Keira Andrews (Love at the Holidays #1)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Gay Romance Reviews.

I know a lot of people think that the perfect holiday to fall in love is Valentine's Day, but I beg to differ! There's something about the Christmas season--and for me, that begins once the -ber months come along--and finding love that just hits differently--in the best way possible, of course. In Keira Andrews's A Baby for Christmas, the main characters find not just love, but family, forgiveness, and that feeling of home. This book is part of the author's Love at the Holidays series, but it can truly be read as a standalone.

A Baby for Christmas is the story of Cameron Walsh and Jake Gregson, who may not have been close friends in high school, but Cam saw Jake as a good guy...until he did something that changed the trajectory of Cam's life. Fast forward years later, and Cam's dog, Toby, alerts him to a man and a baby stuck in the middle of a brewing snowstorm. When Cam realizes that the man is none other than Jake, he knows he can't just leave him and his daughter, Cora, out there to fend for themselves. Now, they're all trapped in Cam's tiny cabin with nowhere to go but maybe forward, hopefully together.

This was a heartwarming holiday romance read. I liked seeing Cam and Jake coming to terms with what happened when they were teenagers and with their current circumstances. You'd think not much could happen in the short span of time they were stuck together, but that snowstorm gave them a chance to communicate honestly and openly. A Baby for Christmas was a feel-good story highlighting letting go of the past in order to embrace the possibility of a future and finding love and home in the process. Four stars!

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg...
