BLURB:
It’s the holidays for a group of very special men who’ve managed to become a family in the last year and while all the guys are coming together to celebrate Hawke and Tate’s upcoming wedding, a few of them have big plans of their own…
A change of plans…
Newlyweds Ronan and Seth are settling into married life as Ronan considers his return to medicine and Seth starts dreaming of a future that may include the pitter patter of little feet a lot sooner rather than later.
Building a future…
Knee deep in wedding preparations, Hawke and Tate are celebrating something even more important – Matty’s final round of chemotherapy treatment. As they anxiously await confirmation that their son is finally in remission, both men strive to give their little boy a normal life including a new house, playdates with Matty’s new best friend, Leo, and a new support system of men and women who are starting to seem a lot like family.
An important question to ask…
Meanwhile, Mav is looking to make things official with Eli despite the young man’s busy schedule with medical school. But before he can ask the man of his dreams that very important question, he has to get past Eli’s family first, including a posse of two overprotective fathers, several intrusive uncles and a little girl who just wants to brush Mav’s hair!
Figuring it all out…
With Memphis, Brennan and Tristan settling into their newfound relationship and our favorite threesome from New York visiting for the wedding, there are plenty of chances for old friends to connect and new bonds to be formed.
The best kind of chaos…
And of course, what wedding wouldn’t be complete without a little drama including some white hot sexual tension between a not so old grandfather and a certain cocky bodyguard? Add in some more Barrettis, a couple of precocious kids, several dogs, one spoiled cat and a gaggle of new, hot alpha men and you’ve got the perfect storm for a holiday that only the Protectors could pull off!
REVIEW:
Holy happiness, Batman!! Sloane Kennedy totally makes up for the vast amount of pain she’s inflicted on her readers in the past with this Christmas special. There is very little pain or angst in this book which if you’re a fan of the Protectors series like I am then you’ll recognize what an anomaly that is. I really enjoyed this super sweet book.
Sloane was masterful with the way she told this story. Each couple from the past 5 books got plenty of page time while focusing on some key couples.
Hawke and Tate are overwhelmed with planning their upcoming wedding all the while raising Matty. They’re finding themselves with very little time to get everything done while making parenting and their relationship top priority.
Ronan and Seth are just as happy as always. Growing comfortable in their lives together they realize they too want a family together. Deciding to foster the biggest drama in the book revolves around Seth, Ronan and the kids that come into their lives.
We see more of Memphis and his men, Mav and Eli, Logan and Dom(even though I’ve never read their story)…we even get another taste of the attraction between Magnus and Dante. It’s no surprise that I’m eagerly awaiting their story.
Needless to say the heat factor is intense in this book. These men are hotter than ever and this author doesn’t pull any punches when writing her steamy love scenes. Those alone are worth the read.
Overall, this was a fantastic, super sappy addition to the series. Recommend to all Protector lovers.
