A bad Santa is turning believers faster than melting snow. Can the mystery be solved in time for Christmas?
Claudia
I’ve dreamed of this day for years, and now it’s reality. I’ve been called up for the Big Show. Official Pole phone and email, Naughty-or-Nice login, and upgraded I.D. with my new job title—Comet. In three weeks, I’ll be part of the team flying Santa around the world.
In an instant my life goes from peaceful, if boring, to a blizzard of last-minute flight preparations, route planning, and anxiety-triggering stress.
The moment I meet my P.A., Jillian, her beautiful smile and sparkling blue eyes are an oasis of calm. But I’ve barely got enough time to wonder if her plump lips taste as sugarplum sweet as they look. Disturbing news has popped up on Santa’s radar.
Someone is turning Santa’s most fervent believers into non-believers overnight. If we can’t find and stop this hacker, there won’t be enough reindeer cutout cookies and hot chocolate in the world to restore balance to Santa’s Naughty-or-Nice list in time for Christmas Eve.

But Jonty’s sure Devan’s parents aren’t going to think he’s good enough for their son. He probably isn’t. But he is good for Devan and the arrival of an unexpected guest gives him a chance to prove it.
Jonty never backs down from a challenge. His mouth won’t let him. But his brain is telling him that if he interferes, he might wreck any hope of acceptance. On the other hand, could his reward be the best Christmas present ever?

Denpo Myint “Yin” Thuta is living the dream. His dream. A good job, higher education, supportive community and, best of all, his live-in boyfriend, Ari. Yin has his happily-ever-after…if only he and Ari could take the time to actually enjoy it. With the holidays fast approaching, Yin’s determined to change all that and surprise Ari with an over-the-top gift that will leave him in no doubt how much he’s loved—even though they agreed to keep things simple this year.
Like Yin, Aristide “Ari” Douniama worked so hard to secure his future that he may have forgotten how to enjoy his present. Despite there being plenty to be thankful for in the moment. With big plans of his own in the works to surprise Yin, Ari may or may not have gone overboard. Or forgotten to check their respective schedules.
’Tis the season of giving, and in their quest to celebrate the “perfect” American Christmas—and failing—Ari and Yin get a much-needed reminder that they already have the greatest gift of all: each other.

Christmas is meant to be a jolly time of year, right? So, why is everyone acting like the plague is around the corner? Every year, I’m always the grumpy guy. Yet, this year, I might as well be sunshine personified.
Conner is definitely hiding something from me, River is unusually moody, and the townspeople have clearly lost their minds. Unfortunately, I can’t arrest everyone in my life and demand they explain themselves … can I?
Since my relationship with Conner is becoming more vital to me than ever, I need to find out what has everyone acting so strange. This Christmas will be the first for Conner and me together. I need to make it special. That means I have to ensure nothing can come between us. Not a Hollywood hunk, not a creepy stalker, and definitely not a snowstorm.
So, will we make it through our first Christmas together? Or will this end up being the worst day of the year?

The last thing Phin feels like doing is going to a New Year’s Eve party. After a day dealing with sick animals, all he wants is a glass of red wine, some food and his bed. But as he drives home down a steep, snow-covered hill, he skids and hits a guy dressed as Santa Claus.
Maric’s not badly hurt, but he’s pissed off. He’s pretty sure Phin’s not the one he’s supposed to find, but when Phin takes him to his cottage, and Maric sees no sign of festivities, he begins to wonder if Phin is the one who needs his help.
Much as Phin would like to get rid of Maric, the thickly falling snow makes it too dangerous for Phin to drive him anywhere. The pair are stuck together, which suits Maric just fine. Now all he needs is luck and a bit of magic.

Now Orion is torn between fake fame and true happiness as he tries to continue his campaign while dating Gustav on the sly.

Why can’t I forget your kiss…
Dear Quinn,
Why must I have these feelings for you? You’re my ex-stepbrother, and nothing will change that truth, no matter how many letters I write.
I never expected to see you again–or to rescue you from the side of the road in a blizzard. I didn’t think you would ever like me, much less kiss me in a steaming hot tub on a snowy night. It seems we make better lovers than brothers, which is all kinds of naughty and nice while we’re snowed in together.
But can this new intimacy last when the skies clear and my family finally arrives for the holidays, or are we just two guys in a mountain cabin with a great view of everything we want but can’t have?
Hopelessly yours,
Jonas

Chaos disguised as Christmas has arrived, and it’s brought all the Scott brothers home.
Derek is always looking for a reason to spend time with his brothers, and Jasper, Greg, and Harrison’s upcoming wedding means that they need a party to celebrate. And how better to do that than to invite his brothers to Tennessee? But what happens when his husband, Colt, starts thinking their house may be too small for so many people? Is it true that the more really is the merrier?
After a whirlwind trip to Tennessee—and a lingering hangover—there’s no rest for Ty or Declan who jump right back into life in California with their twins and work. Long hours at the office and busy days with the kids makes arriving in Oklahoma that much sweeter. But when Declan’s past comes back into his life, will it ruin the trip?
For better or worse, Jasper’s family finally made it to Oklahoma, and the house has never been so full, or festive. Spending time with his brothers isn’t anywhere near as stressful as it used to be, but a freak snowstorm is. As the storm grows and snow piles up, it threatens to keep Greg’s family from Oklahoma and Jasper, Harrison, and Greg’s wedding. The three are going to need a true Christmas miracle to pull off the wedding of their dreams. But is that one wish too big, even for Christmas magic?

I should have seen this coming. I’ve screwed up in every single department they put me to work in back at the Pole. Assigned to the general labor pool to do whatever grunt work of the day that’s needed, I was just handed the joy of going into the human world to serve as a candy cane patrol monitor at a shopping mall Santa’s grotto for the whole of this holiday season. It’s depressing as all get out, seeing all of those loved up couples and happy families enjoying the festive atmosphere while I go back to the crappy motel room I share with another failure of an elf. Is it too much to ask to have someone of my own to cuddle up with in front of a roaring fire and have sexy times with next to the Christmas tree? That’s when I see him, a breathcatchingly handsome man standing there in line, holding his kid’s hand, naturally. Still, I can dream, right? He looks just like my ideal notion of the perfect Daddy.

I don’t know how I let myself get talked into taking my niece Laurette to go see Santa. Okay, yes, I do. I made the mistake of telling my sister that I was going out to do some personal Christmas shopping, pick up the gift baskets my boss ordered for our department heads, and to order the decorated giant cookie for the staff Christmas party. As soon as she realized I would be stopping at the mall, that was all she wrote. So, here I am, standing in line wearing the Santa hat Laurette insisted I wear, wondering just what the hell that guy in the elf costume handing out candy canes to the kids as they leave is staring at. He better not be some weirdo thinking about trying to get Laurette alone later or snatching her from the parking lot or something. No, wait, it’s me he’s looking at. I know I look ridiculous in this hat and it doesn’t go with my leather jeans and bike jacket but he looks pretty stupid too in those small shorts, striped tights, and let’s not forget his elf hat which has bells on it. Bells!

Heath had always been a misfit – a weirdo who went all over town in a tank top and shorts even on a coldest day; who claimed his dog could talk to him; who saw this blinding light every Christmas Eve coming from the woods behind his house that no one else saw.
Even his mother made all sorts of excuses to stay far away from him. If it had not been for his grandma – who did love him despite all his oddness, he would never have had anyone to call his own.
The night before Christmas, with the silliest plan in mind and his coward dog tagging along, he sets out to find the true source of the mysterious light he sees from his window. When he finds the cheerful bunch of elves gathered around the magical bonfire celebrating like kids high on sugar, Heath could not be more excited. Then, finding out that he is half elf and half human gives a meaning to his life; finally understanding the reason behind his weirdness.
Buddying up with a cute elf named Shea for the night to see what it means to possess the magic of an elf, Heath goes on a journey to spread the gift of happiness amongst those who have been good this year. But when the night comes to an end, he is asked to make a decision.
Whether to embrace the magic of an elf within him completely or become a plain, old human and go back to living an ordinary life; back in the world where he was never accepted and to the universe which didn’t have Shea in it…

Jingle Bell
I was an elf, but not a good one. I was too tall. My ears weren’t pointy enough. I couldn’t make toys. Basically, I was a failure.
I grew up with Nic and Holly—Santa and Mrs. Clause—and I suppose they had a soft spot for me. After being kicked out of every creative department at Santa Claus, Inc., Int’l., I was sent to the Special Case Unit. I was assigned a family going through a crisis—charged with bringing comfort and cheer to a special little girl who needed all of it she could get. I didn’t expect to meet a wonderful human man who appeared to have the weight of the world on his broad shoulders, and I certainly didn’t expect I’d want to help him carry it. The case was difficult, but I was dedicated. I definitely didn’t anticipate falling in love along the way, though.
Trick McNichol
Going into the holiday season with a sick daughter was as heartbreaking as it sounded. My little girl, Danielle, had been diagnosed with a dangerous disease, and the treatment was doubly as harsh. In my world, there were no silver linings—until Jinson Bell, a nursing assistant, walked into Dani’s room and gave her something to smile about. He also gave me friendship as I faced my worst fears. He was kind, adorable, much younger than me, and he had a sweet tooth like none I’d ever seen. He knew what we needed before we needed it, and it was easy to fall in love with him. It wasn’t the best timing in the world, but he was there when I needed someone to lean on. When he laughed, it was like bells were ringing, and while I wasn’t sure how I’d do it—he was only at the hospital temporarily for training—I had to find a way to make him mine.

I’m serious here!
I need your help.
I’m eighteen and I’m a virgin.
That doesn’t sound bad, right?
Well, in my little town, most of the guys I went to school with are getting a lot of action. And bragging about it. They have their pick of girls.
Only thing is? I don’t want a girl. And gay or bi guys are pretty thin on the ground around here.
Hell, the only gay guy I know of for sure is my neighbor, Mr. Quentin, but he’s ‘ancient’. He has to be at least thirty. Not that he isn’t hot – don’t get me wrong, he’s smoking! He was the coolest teacher ever, but he’s not gonna be interested in a guy my age.
Anyway, Santa…. I know you’re kinda busy right now, but if you could spare a thought for my little problem, I’d be eternally grateful.
Thanks, Santa.

Laid-back Jasper is nothing like Finn expects. He’s hot, sweet, and easy to talk to. Finn could easily fall for him. But, he’s his brother’s best friend. He’s off limits, and Finn would never break that sacred rule…right?
Jasper has carried a torch for his best mate’s brother for years. Living with him sparks an old flame to light, and the more time they spend together, the brighter it burns. Finn is gorgeous and kind. He’s everything Jasper has ever wanted.
But he’s also scarred by old wounds and reluctant to let his guard down again. Friendship blooms, and for a short while, it’s enough. But the fire between them is undeniable. Finn can fight it as much as he likes.
He won’t win.

When his friend and fellow little asks him to do the bake sale bachelor auction, he can’t say no. It is for a good cause. He just adds it to the ever-growing list of things he has trouble juggling. Being a doctor, an omega, a little. It’s a lot, especially alone.
If only he had the right kind of daddy to balance him out and take care of his needs. But daddies always ask him to give up his career, and that’s a hard limit for him.
For Officer Dennison Marglin attending the auction seemed like a good idea. Finding a boy seemed like an impossibility, but a nice dinner with someone new would be worth the donation.
Winning a date with Christobel was a dream come true. It seemed as if his luck was taking a turn for the better. Taking care of Christobel when he needs a daddy gave Dennison purpose again.
But Christobel resists and pushes him away, and out of respect Dennison listens.
When tragedy strikes the hospital and both Dennison and Christobel are on administrative leave, they turn to each other to get through.
A temporary arrangement meant to prevent burnout could become the catalyst that keeps them together… but only if they are willing.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Everyone was stirring, even the mouse;
The stockings were hung but hearts were heavy with care.
Fear not! Naughty St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Our heroes are troubled; restless in their beds;
While taxes, deadlines and arguments swirled in their heads;
A widower-depressed, two teachers-repressed, one couple-distressed,
Settle into a cold evening; little hope for relief or rest,
When in the living room there arose an almighty ruckus,
They sprang from their beds to see what the fuss was.
There by the tree stood a man like a tower,
He’d come bearing gifts and a whole lot of swagger.
The moon caught in his beard and his eyes twinkled like new-fallen snow,
And sent a tingle and warmth to their nethers below,
When what to their boggling eyes did appear,
A gent as swift and randy as his eight reindeer,
With a feisty old driver so lively and thick,
They knew in a moment they’d be banging St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles to his thrusts they came,
And he licked, and shouted, and called them by name.

Dear Santa,
Not sure if I made your naughty list this year or the nice one, but I suppose it doesn’t matter since all I want for Christmas is a hot Daddy to spank my a** until I cream, and that kind of fits either way, right?
Nah, I’m not being greedy. Hear me out. If I somehow made the nice list, then—besides the fact that you should definitely check your algorithms—a Daddy who can actually help me get my shit together is probably the only thing that will help me stay there. But if you’ve got me on the naughty list (and let’s be real, I was lying when I said I wasn’t sure; we both know you do) then I’m pretty sure I deserve that spanking.
And Santa? Any Daddies you want to send my way can get a free preview of what they’re signing up for on my YouTube channel. Hit me up, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe.
JustAPrettyFace
The last thing Jordan Wendt wants is a Daddy. Someone else in his life to come in and tell him what a fuck-up he is, when he’s already perfectly aware? Oh, hell no. Besides, not to sound shallow—well, maybe a little bit, but just keeping it real—but old dudes just aren’t his thing. Still, when he gets roped into signing up for the kinky dating app Cuffd and sending a “letter to Santa” as part of a holiday promotion on his YouTube channel, he’s more than willing to play it up. Anything for more subscribers, you know? Especially since the channel is the only thing he’s got going for him.
Andy Archer is as vanilla as they come. So vanilla, in fact, that he didn’t even realize vanilla was anything but a latte flavor before he accidentally fell down a Google rabbit hole and ended up fifty shades more knowledgeable than he ever expected to be about the world of kink. And okay, maybe it wasn’t entirely “accidental,” but when he stumbled across a video of his former high school crush asking Santa to bring him a Daddy for Christmas, Andy is determined to find out what the heck that means. Because sure, Andy isn’t exactly Daddy material and Jordan has always been a little—okay, maybe a lot—out of his league, but if there’s ever a time to believe in miracles, it’s Christmas, right?

A bare tree and an empty apartment aren’t a great start, but a visit from his friend Haruto is just the ticket to get him through this first, worst, Christmas. A box of candy canes and a hastily folded paper crane might not be the best ornaments, but it’s a place to start.
A year later, Nick has realized he’s not the only one with nowhere to go, and he hosts his first “Christmas for the Misfit Toys.” Haruto brings Nick an ornament for Nick’s tree, and a tradition—and a new family—is born.
As years go by, Nick, Haruto, and their friends face love, betrayal, life, and death. Every ornament on Nick’s tree is another year, another story, and another chance at the one thing Nick has wanted since the start: someone who’d share more than the holidays with him.
Of course, Nick might have already missed his shot at the one, and it might be too late.
Still, after fifteen Christmases, Nick is ready to risk it all for the best present yet.

They think Malic is a cradle-robber and that Dylan can’t possibly be serious about this relationship, especially when they see their son spending much more time with his friends than he does with Malic.
Knowing that he’s been excluded and will have to confront some truths with Dylan sooner rather than later, Malic retreats, offering to do odd jobs around the house, anything that will keep him from having to interact with the family. When he meets Brad, the guy next door, it gives Malic an excuse to have a little fun of his own. But Brad may have more than a friendly night out in mind. And Dylan has a few opinions about that.
The bond between a warder and his hearth is sacred, it is soul deep. As Malic is pulled into a web of danger and deceit, the one thing that will save him, the only thing, is the name of the man he cherishes.

If a war between elves and reindeer isn’t shocking enough, it hardly holds a candle to finding out that I’m supposed to be the one person who can save an entire planet. Yeah, talk about being totally unqualified for the job. At least that overshadows the fact that I might now have a Santa kink when the young, hot, white-haired warrior is sent to protect me. But can I really help save Santa and his people? Can I stop the elves? Or is everyone doomed to suffer the deadliest Christmas ever?

As summer turns to fall and then winter, they hope that the road will be smooth going from their first date and first kiss to having what Rick’s sister euphemistically calls their “sleepovers.” At each step, though, they are tripped up and wonder why there seem to be so many bumps in their road.
Maybe Dan and Rick should heed some of Charlie’s sage advice, or maybe they should listen to their hearts instead of the ghosts from their pasts.

Cosmin Tessler is going home for Christmas. Eric Campbell is too.
Neither expected a homecoming quite like this.

With a series of failed relationships and one ill-advised marriage behind them, both believe their chance for love has come and gone.
Luck, in the form of a massive ice storm, throws the former neighbors together again and they find themselves stranded, alone, for Christmas.

Does he want his big-city life, or love in the mountains? All of this hinges on whether he and Jake can finally bury the hatchet. Can love overcome the years of conflict in their past?

And then he sees a young college student washing cars for charity in the freezing cold, and everything changes. Without meaning to, Alejandro stops, and the next thing he knows, Avery Marshak is signing his name on the dotted line, becoming his new sugar baby.
Twelve months later, and Avery has followed all of Alejandro’s rules to a T. No touching, no sleeping with anyone, always come when he calls. But spending a year without so much as a handshake, and Avery’s starting to feel a little affection starved. He tells himself there’s no point in hoping this year will be different, because Alejandro is not the kind of man who embraces change.
And then his sugar daddy shows up with an offer: stay with me at my penthouse for Chanukah.
Saying yes is dangerous, because Avery’s heart is a fool and even a single touch will ruin what little progress he’s made in protecting it. But he also knows he can’t resist the offer, because what’s a little heartbreak if it gives him a single chance to know the man who’s been keeping himself at a distance.

Will Alejandro be able to let go of his grief and embrace the love in front of him? And will Avery find the patience to hold on as Alejandro fights to break through his comfortable routine? The answer is there, if only they stop to listen, in the echo of their heartbeats repeating.

As the snow swirls outside and the fire burns in the fireplace, the truth hits me:

The snowstorm is thick and fast, so I’m stuck at this gorgeous stranger’s house. I’m too embarrassed to admit to my family what delayed me from joining them. Otto steps in to rescue me again—by pretending to be my boyfriend. Only trouble is, I’d really like him to be my boyfriend for real.
Can we find the best gift of all this Christmas: a future together?

BLURB:
New Year’s Eve is usually a night of fun and wild celebrations, but for a police officer, it can be the most dangerous night of the year.
Officer Ellis Mason has worked as a beat cop on the streets of Atlanta for over eight years, and he knows what it takes to survive them. But when Lieutenant Godfrey and his infamous narcotics task force issue a dire warning about a lethal drug that’s coming to the city, Mason finds himself fighting a war he’s not trained for, with God pushing him beyond his limits.
Mason and his partner are both on high alert, but the moment he stops the tall, handsome drifter who wandered into town—with the saddest brown eyes he’s ever seen—Mason knows he doesn’t belong.
Jesse Holstrom is lost and possibly in trouble, but Mason’s instincts tell him that it isn’t the drug-dealing kind. Every night that Mason patrols by and sees Jesse huddled on a park bench, cold and alone, it pulls at his heart a little more. Mason doesn’t know how the young man ended up homeless and lost in his neighborhood, but when Jesse ends up on God’s radar, Mason knows he doesn’t have long to find out.
Mason promised himself he wouldn’t let a good thing slip through his fingers again… not this year.

My favorite Christmas read this year was Jonty’s Christmas by Barbara Elsborg.
Happy holidays.
I’m hard-pressed to pick between Kim Fielding’s Teddy Spenser Isn’t Looking for Love, Lily Morton’s Merry Measure, and Kaje Harper’s Bound by Memories. And these I’m sure only because I haven’t read many more holiday romance – that’d surely have me in big trouble to choose. 😁
Jonty’s Christmas and Gingerbread Mistletoe were my favourites this year.
So many amazing books, but from the ones I’ve read my favorite are Jonty’s Christmas and Not Over Yet by Barbara Elsborg
Merry Measure was my favorite but I am really looking forward to A.E. Via story A Nothing Special New Year.
Merry Measure by Lily Morton was my favorite so far. Thank you for the giveaway. Happy holidays!
Merry Measure by Lily Morton was my favorite so far but I have more to read. I look forward to reading A.E. Via’s A Nothing Special New Year story.
I’ve read and loved several of these, but my favourite so far is Gingerbread mistletoe by Amy Aislin
Really enjoyed Barbara Elsborg’s ‘Jonty’s Christmas’. Waiting for Jodi Payne & BA Tortuga’s ‘Special Delivery’, which I somehow missed.
i havent read any xmas books but am def waiting for AE’s nothing special holiday read
Merry Measure by Lily Morton and Tic-Tac-Mistletoe by N.R. Walker have been my favorites so far.
Thats a hard on. Merry Measure by Lily Morton is one of my favorites
So far, MERRY MEASURE is my favorite, with CUPCAKES AND CHRISTMAS close behind! I still need to read GINGERBREAD MISTLETOE…
So many good titles. Unfortunately I haven’t had much time to read. Holly Folly EXmas looks like a fun read and I’ve enjoyed other books by this author before.
I’ve read some really good ones this year but I think my favorite is Tic Tac Mistletoe by NR Walker. It was just holiday perfection for me!
Tic tac mistletoe but I’ve read quite a few I’ve liked!
Naught & Nice was one I enjoyed but there were several others.
Happy Holidays to the Love Byte Crew and everyone else! For me, I love Mary Calmes, so her Cherish Your Name is a must read. Thanks for the chance and stay safe and healthy.
I absolutely have to read O Hell, All Ye Shoppers. That title is perfect!
Thank you for making this wonderful list! My favorite story this year was Handspun by Charley Descoteaux. Anyone with a yarn collection will love this look at a handcrafted Christmas.
