Tis’ the season for holiday stories and series and I’ve dived into Season 2 of a holiday favorite, Christmas Falls.
Christmas Falls, that small town in Illinois whose residents lives for all things Christmas. It’s alive in every aspect of the town’s culture, from the names on its streets to the shops to the festivals it’s renowned for.
Through each book, different authors have been building a sense of community and connected relationships. Shops and couples from prior stories pop up in current books and romances under development.
DJ Jamison’s couple starts with Mason of the Holiday Hope Foundation (coat drive, angel tree, raising awareness of the needs of the community). He’s a good man, still finding his way into the community and with the Foundation, as he’s given new funding and support for expansion. And it’s Christmas.
Into his path comes a man in need of help in every way possible. Ford has lost his job, is barely coping when his ex-wife’s lawyer calls unexpectedly, asking him to come pick up Charlie his young stepdaughter . His ex wife is going to rehab and Charlie needs a guardian and a safe place to stay.
An adorable child at Christmas, a proud overwhelmed man who loves his kid deeply even if she’s not his biological child, a foster dog even, and a magical town. And a giving heart in a man who lives to help others.
Yes, definitely a heartwarming, holiday story that I absolutely loved. Even the ex-wife wasn’t a terrible person but one of a layered personality who loved a child she couldn’t care for.
There are a few quibbles but this is a terrific story and one I definitely enjoyed. Add it to your holiday reading list!

Description:
I never saw this Christmas gift coming…
When my ex-wife lands in rehab, I get a surprise for the holidays. A 7-year-old girl who’s got no place to go. I love my former stepdaughter like she’s my own, but I have no idea how to give her everything she needs.
In a holiday-crazed town like Christmas Falls, it seems inevitable I’ll let her down.
Unless I finally let go of my pride and accept help from the new director of the Holiday Hope Foundation. Mason West is eager to lend support however he can. And when I let him, he goes above and beyond.
For Charlie’s sake. Not mine. Even if I maybe, kind of, wish that it was for me.
I’ve never been into men before, but Mason is so sweet, so giving, so…perfectly sized to snuggle in against my holiday sweater. Maybe if I can figure out what all this means, I can gain more than a daughter for the holidays.
Maybe I can keep the gift I’ve always wanted most—a family of my own.
Christmas Falls: Season 2 revisits a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie. It’s a multi-author M/M romance series.
