BL Maxwell’s Christmas Collection

https://books2read.com/u/bQnrLe

Enjoy this gay romance collection all set during the holiday season.

A Lot of Snow for Christmas

Two strangers with very different lifestyles stuck together in a snow-covered cabin with no heat or power. It might take more than a cute dog to help them survive it.

Try to Remember

It's Christmas, and time for Andy and Link's yearly party. Erik and Sam are going for the first time since Sam moved to town with him. He imagines a nice evening spent with new friends, but it soon turns out a little different.

The List

Tommy Carter was just minding his own business, taking out the trash from his job at a local bar and grill, when he noticed the man hiding behind the dumpster. He couldn’t get a good look at the guy, and the less he can find out about him, the more curious he becomes. He’d lived through difficult circumstances in his past, and decides if he can help, he will.

Just the Right Chord

Kai and Rory met a few months ago when Kai made a food delivery to Rory’s band. They’ve been together ever since, and neither of them has looked back and craved the single life. Now with the holidays fast approaching, both of them worry about giving the perfect gift to each other.

Two strangers stuck in a cabin during a blizzard, two friends who hope for more, a man who needs a little help, and a new couple spending their first Christmas together. Each story is gay romance and is guaranteed to have a happily ever after.

Two New Christmas Releases!

Nuts and Bolts Holiday

https://books2read.com/NBHOliday

Nuts and Bolts

https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts

Hudson Carter returned to Foggy Basin and now owns his family’s hardware store Nuts and Bolts. He not only gained a new business when he moved home, he also found the love of his life.

Jack Hulbert loves all the changes his new boss and boyfriend, Hudson, has made to the old, failing hardware store. But as the holiday season gets closer, he wants to do something different this year.

Jack is from a big family, while Hudson’s an only child. When they're invited to spend Christmas with Jack's family, Hudson is hesitant but willing. When the weather takes a turn there's an even bigger chance of chaos but what's Christmas without chaos?

Wrapped Up In Tinsel

https://books2read.com/Tinsel

Steve Reynolds prefers to avoid people, and working as a tech guy at one of the big box electronic stores has guaranteed that. He does the repairs and lets the person at the counter deal with the rest, it’s perfect. Until this year, when the store is downsizing and he’s laid off just before Thanksgiving.

Garrett Juhl loves Christmas more than anyone has loved Christmas before him. Or at least he likes to tell himself that, and while he’s making deliveries for his job, he also pretends he’s Santa. But he’d rather not admit that to anyone.

Desperate for a job Steve takes the first one he’s offered even if he’s not sure he’ll survive it. Being one of Santa’s elves at the local mall has never been something he’d consider, but he’s desperate. When Garrett goes to the mall to see this year's decorations he immediately notices the grouchy elf who even with a frown looks cute in his elf uniform. Maybe this year he could be the one who turns that frown upside down. #loveislove #lgbtbooks #booklovers #lgbtqbooks #readersgonnaread #lgbtqbookstagram #mmholiday #mmholidays #mmholidayromance

Remember When Now in French!

Rappelle-toi (French Edition) 

https://www.amazon.com/Rappelle-toi-French-Maxwell-Bl-ebook/dp/B0DNFKZXNR

La vie d'Andrew Lawson à Sacramento est passée de tout ce dont il rêvait en grandissant à un endroit solitaire où il est impossible de trouver quelqu'un de spécial avec qui partager sa vie. Lorsque la première personne qu'il rencontre en rentrant chez lui pour Thanksgiving est son ami d'enfance Link, cela lui rappelle la douce époque où son avenir était encore devant lui.

Accepter de prendre un verre avec lui avant de se rendre chez ses parents est un moyen de renouer les liens, et une excellente façon de commencer les vacances.

Link Stanton n'a jamais envisagé de quitter la petite ville agricole où il a grandi, mais Andy lui manque plus qu'il ne l'admettra jamais. C'est déjà assez difficile de désirer secrètement un ami, mais être amoureux de lui est bien pire.

Un verre entre amis semble assez inoffensif. Après tout, rattraper le temps perdu n'est pas une mauvaise chose, jusqu'à ce que les bières se transforment en shots, et que Link révèle ce qu'il ressent vraiment.

Double Black Diamonds

BL Maxwell

https://books2read.com/Double-Black-Diamonds

When Jordan James goes on a holiday ski vacation with his friend Dave to Park City, Utah, he’s excited for some time off from work, and a few days of skiing. After Dave skies off without him, leaving him at the top of a run that is far beyond his skill level, Jordan takes a chance. When things go bad fast, he’s left with little choice but to call for help.

Trace Griffin has worked for the ski patrol at Park City for the past few years. He enjoys the freedom it gives him, the fact that he’s on the mountain all day, and helping people is a big part of who he is. When a call comes in to ski patrol, about a skier in trouble at the top of the mountain, he doesn’t hesitate. When he finds Jordan injured and bordering on hypothermia he gets right to work and with help from his partner they rush him down the mountain.

Neither Trace nor Jordan were looking for love when they met, but maybe an unfortunate break will give each of them a chance to find the love they’ve both craved.#newlove #mmromance #indiebook #instalove #meetcute
