Book Blurb

There's no reasoning with holiday magic.

Jakob
Being a super genius should make life a sleigh ride, not a snowstorm. Jakob’s entire life has been defined by his oversized brain. When he finally breaks out of the ivory tower he’s been kept in, Jakob has plans to do all the things he’s been told are beneath his intellect. Step one? Deck the halls with his very first Christmas tree. He doesn’t expect to meet his future Daddy on the side of the road, but there’s no arguing with the magic of the holidays.

Reed
Being an ER doctor is an all-consuming profession, especially during the holiday rush. Finding a little takes time, and that’s something Reed has in short supply. He’s used to patching broken bones, not hearts, and the idea of Christmas magic seemed like a fairy tale. But when Jakob crashes into him—quite literally—and somehow jingles his way into Reed's home and heart, it feels like maybe Jakob is right about being wrecked for the holidays.

 

This Daddy/little story includes a dash of glitter, visits with Santa, wrapping paper shenanigans, a boy who was never allowed to be one, and a Daddy who’s been wishing for a boy of his very own.

Reed and Jakob are an established couple in the Just a Little series and Almstead Island: Newcomers Club. This is their meet-cute.

 

Book Review

I totally enjoyed this Daddy/little holiday story! It was fun to read and was so sweet and easy to digest that I devoured the whole book in one day. The author is new to me but the theme is not. I generally love a sweet little, especially one who’s so in need of a strong Daddy to take charge.

 

In this story readers meet Jakob, a twentysomething genius who has never been allowed to do anything more than study. His parents have never had a Christmas tree, never treated him to presents or stockings or any of the holiday trappings. His life has been study, study, study, and now he has broken away and is determined to live independently and do his own thing. To that end, he’s excited to have bought his own Christmas tree, Unfortunately, on the way home with it, he has just rear-ended another vehicle. Oh-oh. But fear not, good things come in unexpected packages. The man whose car he hits, Reed, is not only a doctor, but is also a Daddy who happens to be wishing for a little of his own. Reed finds the sweet man wearing a reindeer onesie to be adorable and things take off from there. Great meet-cute!  

 

I enjoyed the dialogue between the two, and their flirting and then relationship-building led to a new dynamic between them. Neither fit the typical stereotype, and the icing on the cake of this relationship is that Jakob calls Reed “Papa” instead of Daddy. I had heart-eyes. The term fit them perfectly. Of note, Jakob’s parents had a brief role of overcrowding him and being obnoxiously controlling, but, thankfully, the author did not continue to have the mother hounding him throughout the story. There’s not much I hate worse than that, so I’m grateful it didn’t happen here.

 

From their meet-cute to their shopping trip for “little” clothes and toys to their more adult activities and Jakob’s conclusion that they belonged together forever, I truly loved everything about this story. Add to that the holiday spirit, and it makes the story one I can highly recommend to lovers of MM romance, especially to those who share my enjoyment of Daddy/little love.
