Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.

Kai Marshall has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.

Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart on lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone.

Finding Isaac

Foggy Basin Season Two

Finding Isaac: https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac

Series Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DST7K6BR

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his

twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his

favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his

life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him

and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at

night, or to get into trouble with.

Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a

little over a year. He graduated from high school and

moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most

part, never looked back. But memories of that slower

pace always came back to him when he was neck deep

in work, and his personal life.

Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was

more than

happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting

Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his

own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has

his life together and always seems happy as hell,

would want to take him on. But there’s something in the

way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Abandoned in the Snow

Twenty-one-year-old Jamie is in for a rude awakening. What starts as a romantic Christmas getaway to Big Bear, California with his boyfriend, Daddy Tom, quickly devolves into a snow-covered nightmare. They've driven all the way from Brentwood, and Daddy Tom even promised Jamie a new jacket from a small boutique. But when Daddy Tom disappears after parking his Jeep, Jamie is left stranded, his phone dead and his pockets empty.

As the snowstorm rages, Jamie waits, the chill seeping into his bones, until the store lights finally dim. Alone and without a jacket, he stumbles into the biting wind, eventually collapsing by the side of the road, tears freezing on his cheeks. Just as hope dwindles, a red truck pulls up, and a mysterious stranger offers a lifeline, driving Jamie to his cabin. But who is this man, and what will become of Jamie in the desolate, snow-covered mountains?

This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Four multi-author series. Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone where every little is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

A Daddy for Christmas 3: Benson

Brina Brady

https://books2read.com/Daddy-Benson

Grumpy /Sunshine, Truck Driver, Hitchhiker, Daddy Kink, Hurt& Comfort, MM Xmas Romance, Age Gap

* * * * * * * * * *

Thirty-year-old Benson McCoy hides behind a veil of precision and routine, his cab a sanctuary of order where every item has its place and every stop is timed to the minute. Beneath his tight-lipped smiles and mechanical schedule lies a man aching with loneliness, haunted by the time he never carved out for connection. As he hauls a load of toys cross-country from New York to Los Angeles, trapped in a cycle of work and his father’s expectations, Benson quietly yearns for something or someone to disrupt his solitude. He doesn’t expect that someone to be Kyle Foster, a charming storm of disarray who might just upend Benson’s rigid world and uncover the tenderness he’s tried so hard to bury.

Twenty-two-year-old Kyle, impulsive and reckless, runs from the chaotic mess of his own making with the sounds of sirens faintly echoing in the distance. Kyle shows up on the shoulder of some frozen NYC highway, hitchhiking toward California with half a plan and a backpack full of chaos. If anyone needs a daddy, it’s Kyle. He asks too many questions, laughs too loud, and doesn’t know how to shut down his heart or his mouth. Kyle’s presence is a messy explosion of honest emotion, impossible to ignore his whirlwind of unfiltered energy.

They hit the icy roads together—two strangers, one rig, and a growing tension neither of them knows what to do with. Between awkward silences, cheap diner meals, and late-night talks that get way too real, Benson and Kyle begin to crack each other open. Benson needs a boy, and Kyle needs a Daddy for Christmas. Neither of them was looking for love.

* * * * * * * * * *

A Daddy for Christmas 3 is a multi-author series. Holiday tales of lost boys in need of Daddy’s love and in some cases, a firm hand. Naughty or nice, it’s all in Santa’s hands now. So why not dive in and read each standalone and enjoy the holidays alongside our boys? The character’s theme is Grumpy and Sunshine.

From Author Wendy Rathbone

https://books2read.com/MyChristmasReindeer

Can a young omega reindeer shifter and Santa’s number one elf find love amid the chaotic demands of the North Pole Christmas season?

Alpha Keir is a serious elf in charge of Santa’s team of flying reindeer. Navigating the spacetime continuum is no small feat, and he must see to it that everything is in order to conduct a single night of massive gift delivery. There can be no mistakes.

Fallon was born on a snowy night in December and left in an ice drift to die. He is rescued and raised by elves. Because of his difficult beginning, he can’t fly. He’s worked hard with the elves who serve Santa, making toys, but his first love is math and science and he studies hard in his off hours. He hopes to join Santa’s team at ground control. It would be the perfect job.

Keir is the big boss Fallon must try to impress to get the job he wants. But everything goes wrong when Fallon finds his attraction to Keir fogging his mind and sending him into the throes of heat. Worse, a big storm is brewing and it’s affecting the continuum.

Can two very different men save Christmas and find love all at the same time?

With a past he keeps hoping to outrun, Asher’s been on a downward spiral for longer than he can remember.

A Murder For Crow

Retiring from the sport he loved had never been part of Crow’s five-year plan. Unfortunately, the head injuries he’s amassed over years of Mixed Martial arts fighting have left him little choice but to throw in the towel and begin a new, shaky road toward…what? He’s got no clue, that’s for sure. In fact, the only thing he’s certain of is that living a few short blocks from the gym is not the way to put the sport behind him, not when he still hasn’t told any of his friends or training partners exactly why it is he suddenly decided to hang up his gloves.

Down The River

J Scott Coatsworth

Universal Buy Link: https://www.jscottcoatsworth.com/book/down-the-river/

Nine years have passed since a group of strangers first met at a magical little restaurant in East

Sacramento called Ragazzi. They have all been touched by its subtle magic, and have become a

family.

With the tragic death of one of them, the ripples spread through the entire group, exposing

secrets and revealing truths that many of them would rather not face.

Dave and Marcos are battling their own demons. Matteo seeks an embezzler at Ragazzi, while

Diego struggles to hold on to his son, Gio. Carmelina fears Daniele won’t take no for an answer.

And both Ben and Sam are dealing with tragic losses that have turned their lives upside down.

Into the mix come a few new characters—Ainsley, a Sac State student studying to be a doctor; a

mysterious strange who is stalking someone in the group; and a few new love interests who may

have agendas of their own.

It’s 2024, and the cast of River City is back. What secrets will be revealed before the last page

turns?

Warnings: Death of several characters.
