BLURB:
Running from an abusive alpha, terrified, and abandoned in the middle of a snowstorm, Bo Rawlings goes into premature labor. Desperate to try and save the life of his unborn child, he makes one last attempt to get to the omega clinic, but his old pickup has other ideas.
Gabe Johnson, exhausted from being on call as a veterinarian and depressed at the thought of another lonely Christmas, spots what looks like an abandoned pickup but risks the snowstorm to double check.
When he finds a young omega about to give birth all his protective instincts rush in and as he battles frantically to save their lives, he realizes all he wants is to take the little family home and claim them for his own.
Bo has never had the Christmas he’s always wanted. Gabe gave up on the holidays a long time ago. But just as they both think that it’s their turn to experience the season of miracles, Bo’s old alpha finds them, and unless Gabe can manage the impossible, all their Christmas dreams will melt like snow.
REVIEW:
Bo is a very sweet man who’s been caught in a terrible situation. As an omega he has been taught by his family that he has no rights and so he has to take his life and the life of his unborn child into his own hands. He’s doing his best but life doesn’t make things easy.
Gabe falls easily for Bo and his little baby, but is terrible at communication and needs to figure out how to tell Bo what he wants out of life.
This story is cute and full of Christmas. And just like Christmas in real life, things don’t always go as planned. There’s always something that seems to get in the way of the happily ever after that Bo and Gabe and their baby deserve.
But they keep plowing through it and get their Hallmark moments.
There’s a lot going on in this story. Almost too much to be honest and it makes it feel a little messy. It could have done with a few less details and a little more focus on the important ones. I like a little more time for things to build and for us to get to know the characters better. Creates more sympathy that way.
Most of the angst in the story comes in the form of miscommunications, although Bo’s former alpha needs a good swift kick in the ass, as does his family. The secondary characters in this story are just little blips put there for plot movement and barely worth mentioning.
This is definitely done in the style of every Christmas romance you have have ever watched and if that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed.
