Take two co workers who apparently can't stand each other,a blizzard which leaves them stranded in a sleepy village in the beautiful Lake District,some delightful residents and you have a charming Christmas story.
Patrick isn't looking forward to spending Christmas alone but the last thing he was expecting was to spend it with Kyle but that's exactly what happens when Kyle's car breaks down a few days before Christmas on their way back from a work meeting.It seems 'there's no room at the Inn' is quite fitting as the only option for them is to rent a half finished cottage owned by a local.
The two men might not have got along at work but it turns out they've both had a simmering attraction to each other,so why not have some festive fun under the covers? The sex is HOT but they quickly realize they might just have a future together.
I loved the charming setting and a snowed in theme is one of my favourite things and the Author got the Christmas atmosphere just right...it was delightful.The Epilogue finished the story of perfectly.

The first book in this charming series.....I use the word series loosely because each book can be read on their own....BUT....there is a connection in the form of an Angel ornament/tree decoration. What a lovely concept these Authors have come up with here.An Angel seemingly casting her magic and bringing men from different worlds together.Each book captures a different era and the romantic in me wants to believe it's the same Angel in each story.
This book takes place in 18th century London and I adored it.I'm all about the smouldering passion in Historical books,lingering looks,forbidden thoughts,clandestine meetings....I was practically swooning.
John is a London Bow Street Runner(yes,that's an actual thing from British history),law enforcement of sorts.When investigating a case one day he finds a beautiful carved Angel floating in the river Thames.Fascinated by it's beauty and determined to find out why it was cast aside he tracks down it's maker....a beautiful young sculptor,Alec.
Alec is horrified,the Angel had a special meaning to him and can't quite believe it's made it's way back to him.And the man who found it,along with the Angel keep returning...
Honestly,this story is just perfect.I devoured it.
-the setting in London at Christmas was just how I imagined it from history,
-John and Alec are just too cute together.A gentle courtship had me melting with John bringing Alec small gifts each day,
-a wonderful array of supporting characters that shared John's lodgings.
This is the third book I've read in this charming series and I highly recommend it. You'll fall in love with John and Alec.

The prospect of a new book by Barbara Elsborg always gets me excited and this is just perfect,definitely my favourite book by her.I mean,a hot cowboy and a sexy male model....I was practically salivating at the thought so this book most certainly lived up to my expectations.

Pasha, is up there as one of my all time favourite characters Charismatic,funny,true to himself and just a delight to read about.He might seem to have the perfect life but he's got demons from his past and a man whose obsession with him that he can't seem to escape from.His world is turned upside down when he's sent away by his father to work at a ranch for six months.Does he have a choice? Not really,stripped of all his privileges there seems to be no way out of this situation.
Levi has lived his whole life of the family ranch in Montana.He doesn't seem to be appreciated by his father and having a homophobic brother to deal with is wearing him down so when his father suggests a six month spell at a Russian ranch,teaching men how to be cowboys,he sees it as a chance to get some distance.
Pasha arrives at the ranch in designer clothes,with Louis Vuitton luggage,wearing eye liner....maybe not the best idea but he absolutely refuses to hide who he is...in fact he's more likely to ramp up his gayness than hide it.....and I loved him for it.He's ignored by the other men,picked on and one guy in particular seems hell bent on making his life a misery...but Pasha gives as good as he gets,showing such strength of character.
Levi is a bit of a silent type,he's not going to advertise the fact he's gay.He just wants to keep his head down eand get through the six months,but his world is about to be rocked by the arrival of the enigmatic,force of nature that is Pasha.
The two men might be from different worlds but they turned out to be just so damned perfect together...I honestly didn't want this book to end.

Rafe is 19,a bit smothered by his well meaning over protective parents.On his way to England for a 3 month study period,he's got one thing on his mind,
He thought about sex. Sex with hot British guys with hot British accents.
And so begins,
Operation: Slut.
What he hadn't banked on was having a sexy British flatmate.....
Rafe is a bit like an exuberant puppy.He's fascinated by all things British and he's determined to make his stay in a foreign country a truly memorable one.He did come across as slightly younger than 19 in some ways but that kind of added to his charm for me.I thought he was adorable.
Eamonn is 20,hurt in love before,the last thing he wants is to get involved with someone who will be leaving in a few months.However,he can't help wanting to give Rafe the whole British experience and the more time they spend together,it's pretty inevitable things will start to get down and dirty between them.
Add into the mix a couple of likeable flatmates,a pretty despicable ex and you've got a great college romance,that really worked for me.

I recently read and enjoyed The Impossible Boy,In fact it's up there in my top reads so far this year,so I was excited to read my second book by this Author but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me.I think this just really wasn't my thing....a bit too sweet for my tastes.
Cooper( who I actually loved ) is currently working at the Dreamy Creamery by day and a bartender at night.He's pretty content,still trying to work out what he wants to do with his life.One thing is certain he's more than a bit smitten with a certain Hottie that regularly comes into the shop.
Drew is an aspiring Actor.Currently doing small acting roles in Disneyland,just waiting for the one break that will further his career.
There's no doubt these two are super cute together.I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot.Their flirting and subsequent dates were pretty adorable but things just seemed to move way too quickly in their romance to make it believable for me.Add into the mix the argument/drama between them and it sort of went down hill for me.
If you're after a short,sweet MM romance this might just be the book for you.....

This is the second book in the series be CAN be read as a standalone as the characters from Misfits ( book one ) are well introduced.
I adored Lenny from the start.Working as a server in Misfits Restaurant he loves to dye his hair and go dancing but his life has been put on hold due to a stalker.With no real evidence the Police seem reluctant to do anything which leaves Lenny at breaking point.This is where Cass,his boss,steps in.He entrusts him to one of his chefs,Nero with strict instructions for Nero to keep a close eye on him.
Nero is a workaholic-he's grumpy and rude and the last thing he needs is one of Cass's Strays to babysit.At first he has no idea what to do with Lenny in the kitchen but soon recognizes that Lenny has quite a flair for putting together flamboyant plates of food.
Before anything sexual happens between them they come to rely on each other in different ways and for different reasons.Nero has a past which he keeps bottled up and is very reluctant to share it with Lenny.Nero becomes fiercely protective of Lenny and Lenny recognizes that there is so much more to Nero than his grumpy exterior.
There's not an abundance of sex scenes but when they do become close it's perfect and,I felt,just right for the story.The dynamics of their sexual relationship was not what I was expecting but it definitely worked.There's a great feeling of family and belonging throughout the book not least because of the involvement of Tom,Cass and Jake from book one.
This book ticked so many boxes for me,
Two highly likeable but different characters. Great supporting characters. A bit of angst,but not overdone. The Kitchen/Restaurant setting,I just loved. Enough sexy times to keep me happy. And of course the fact that it's British and set in London was a huge plus.
Highly recommended.
