They both work as paramedics for the NHS, and just before Christmas, their plans for the future are in jeopardy. Rob knows he's on thin ice with the man he loves more than anyone else in the world, and he's at a loss to fix it. The job is getting tougher, and Karan, who's of Sikh descent, is facing violence on the streets in the wake of Britain's decision to leave the EU. Financial problems, hostile families on both sides.... Their troubles seem insoluble. An emergency callout stops them on the brink of a final and heartbreaking row. In a forest on the bleak northern hills, Rob loses control of the van in the snow. The only gleam of light comes from a strange, lonely house among the trees. Lost, cut off from the world they know, can they find their way back to one another? It's the longest night of the year, and spirits are abroad among the pines.... Members Reviews: Harper Fox has given us a haunting tale of love and honesty and the importance of holding on to ... When Christmas Lights are Blue By Harper Fox Fox Tales, 2016 Five stars True to her own wild spirit, Harper Fox has given us a haunting tale of love and honesty and the importance of holding on to the good things. Karan Batra and Robert Jackson have been a couple since they were in training school. But they never counted on Brexit and the overt racism it would release, or on the stress of being an EMT and constantly dealing with the aftermath of car crashes. Just as their relationship seems to be cracking up, a solstice eve call to a remote cottage in the woods takes Karan and Rob on a voyage of discovery; a voyage that reminds them of a simple, elusive truth: when the world gets too ugly, donât give up on what matters most. As always, Fox creates an atmosphere that seeps into our souls as we read. There is an unusual collision of past and present, an acknowledgement of contemporary reality that seems to be particularly British, but is in fact applicable to the USA and indeed much of the world today. Here is not so much a âChristmas storyâ as a little fable for our times. Left me teary-eyed This was hard to read. Ostensibly, this is just a sweet little story about a couple struggling through a few issues. At its core though, it's a piece about grief. The way the face of our world has changed and how we cope with that change. It manages in a remarkably short space to paint a picture of the Northeast of England, post-coal, post-Brexit, with issues of class and race, which cut a little too close to the bone for me. It's really well done. Thanks for writing this Ms Fox, I needed to read it. When the ghost of Christmas past wears a Christmas sweater A clever, sweet, chilling, and beautiful take on The Ghost of Christmas Past and their brethren. In this version, we get an elderly woman in a Christmas sweater, a photo album, snow drifts, and some sherry that keep things grounded while simultaneously hinting at what's really going on. The cold of Christmas time can invade inside and out. In less than 50 pages, Fox gives us rather fully fleshed out characters, including supporting, and their lives come loaded with humor, loss, caring, and love.

Members Reviews: Donât waste the time on this WTF was that!? The only relation that this story had to the blurb was a similarity of names. We got absolutely no insight into any of the characters other than to learn that the main character was bored of being special. He had absolutely no relationship, or interaction with, Admiral Patrick. And he only travelled with Commander Armstrong to Station Delta, but was at no time assign to work for the lecher who promptly drugged and raped him. And then it ended with the main character somehow being ok with that.

Can they stop their love from becoming yet another victim of the battlefield? It seems too good to be true. Dean and Mikael imagine that they're finally in for a quiet and steady life together on the farm. Despite having faced problems beyond imagination, the two men are managing to build a real relationship together. As the days settle into a blissful domesticity, they're thrilled to find their newfound love still manages to surprise them with moments of sweet shyness and flirtation. And owing perhaps in part to Mikael's animalistic nature, they're heating up the bedroom just as much as before. But what else would you expect when a hunky carpenter and a stubborn farmer find passion and romance in each other's arms? Summoned back to The Grove, Mikael's ancestral and endlessly complicated home, the tangles of his family's roots rise up to challenge the couple once again. With war on the horizon, Mikael and Dean must learn to trust each other and the relationship they've built. But when old wounds rise up and demand payment, it threatens to overtake them all. From Mikael's previously unheard point of view, The Carpenter's Fight delivers tender romance, primal adventure and steamy M/M scenes. It asks whether we are ever truly free of our pasts, and regardless of how that question is answered, will it strangle the promises of love ever after? Members Reviews: it was the best one yet the story is so much more than I thought it would be but so good I can't wait for the 4th one this series is so good and so worth it i loved it so much

Earning His Trust Audiobook by Alicia Nordwell

Title: Earning His Trust Author: Alicia Nordwell Narrator: Mickey Hamm Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Romance, LGBT Publisher's Summary: Evin lost the only two men he ever loved. But he might get a second chance with one of them - if he's willing to take the risk. Following the death of his husband, Evin is living in Portland and raising the infant son they had through a surrogate. Six-month-old Micah is his life, and if it means no time for activities or friendships beyond his minuscule support network, that's a sacrifice Evin is willing to make. When he suffers a burn baking teething biscuits, the last person Evin expects to encounter in the ER is Ben, his lover from college - and the man who left him without a word of explanation. Ben knows it won't be easy to earn Evin's trust and prove he's not the same man Evin once knew, but he can't bear to watch Evin struggle to care for Micah, hurting and alone. He wants back in Evin's life, as a friend and hopefully more, but Evin's heart is fragile, and the years have changed him too. Members Reviews: Okay book A bit of a slow burn book. If you're in the mood for something slow and sweet, this is tge book for you. 4 OptimuMMâs for Micah and his 2 daddies. Evin is a single dad, raising his son, Micah, alone after the death of his husband, Daniel. One day, he burns his own hand and goes to the ER. When he meets his doctor, Ben Perez, his ex-boyfriend who ruined his heart at college. Ben is shocked to meet Evin, the love of his life, after all these years. Even if heâs responsible for their break up, he can't let him go like that, not after seeing the exhausted, alone father that Evin is now. So Ben does what he can to be with Evin, even if its only as a friend, this time he refuses to walk away from him. I loved this book. Ben and Evin are adorable. Evin is completely broken when he meets Ben at the ER. Heâs a single dad, his son Micah is only 6 months old, heâs exhausted, mourning his husband and trying to deal with his baby. I wanted to babysit his son for him, really, it was so well written that I could see him with dark circles and pain in his eyes. I loved Ben, even if he was the one breaking up their relationship, I loved how matured he was when he meets Evin after all these years. I loved how he decided to be there for them, and how he tried to help Evin. But I loved it more when he spills his heart out, when he tells the truth to Evin, that he still loves him, never stopped, and heâll wait for him to be ready. I loved that, I loved the fact he took responsibility for ending their relationship and breaking their hearts. I love how simply and easily he came back in Evin and Micah lives. Besides, the author did something really good with his characterâs psyche. Evin struggled with so many fears and trouble that he couldnât be all right or fine without help. And Ben is this help, the shoulder and the arms that Evin needs. And you know what, my big romantic heart sighed for them, and smiles happily too (and I may or may not have fallen hard for Micah and his chubby cheeks) So itâs 4 OptimuMMâs for Micah and his 2 daddies. optimummblog.wordpress.com 4.5 Stars I can say with honesty that I have never been disappointed by a Nordwell book, and this is no exception. Earning His Trust was a sweet, charming second-chance novella that made my heart hurt and crack along with the characters.
