REVIEW:
This one just did it for me! Wendy Rathbone is one of the Queens of Omegaverse MPREG and Vixen shows you why!
Vixen, Santa 25’s lead reindeer, is a workaholic plan and simple. Not only is he one of the elite flyers that lead one of the Santa’s teams on Christmas Eve, but he runs the day-to-day business year round. And without an assistant he is stressed out and it’s definitely not good. Enter the bright and adorable elf Coco as his new assistant. The two mesh well immediately and things are finally in order and going great. Then the unthinkable happens…Santa is making him take a mandatory forced vacation. At least Santa 25 is letting him have the option of a staycation (not all the other reindeers in his position have been that lucky) and that’s what he ultimately chooses. And, with a little extra push, he persuades his new assistant Coco to keep him up to date. When Coco comes each night to give Vixen, yes of those Vixens) his packet of the day’s events, Vixen has a home cooked meal ready. Vixen loves to cook and is really enjoying the beautiful elf’s evening visits. When a freak, early snowstorm strands Coco at his place he does something he has never done before…offer to fly Coco home in reindeer form on his bare back. Coco is overwhelmed by his boss’s generosity and his “schoolboy crush” is put in overdrive when Vixen flies him home. Coco is a “good boy” elf but is Vixen going to make him wind up on Santa’s Naughty List?
If you don’t fall for this story and how sweet Coco is and how he melted Vixen’s heart then I have serious questions about you. I loved how Coco help to transform Vixen from the uptight, workaholic, hard nosed boss to the caring Alpha that needed to be with his sweet omega. Coco helped open Vixen’s eyes that he had a the creature comforts that his grand home had to offer but, without Coco to share them with, they were just possessions. Having Coco to wine, dine and take care of filled his Alpha heart and feed his reindeer other half. These two were the perfect mates and it warmed my heart how it all came to be. This Christmas cheer book brought home true love, caring and perfect mates wrapped up in shiny paper with the perfect Christmas bow!
This book was the real deal and I highly recommend this to put you in the spirit! This year we have been graced with several great Multi-Author Christmas series but I think this series may just be leading the pack! A must-read in my humble opinion.
