When Jack Frost’s aunt dies and leaves him her house in the tiny town of Great Falls, Jack seizes the opportunity to escape the rat race of Chicago for the quaint village he loved as a child. On his first night he’s welcomed by a baseball bat and a trespassing warning from Nick St. James—longtime Great Falls resident and infamous curmudgeon.
Jack wants to give Nick the benefit of the doubt—he can’t deny his attraction to the big man—but after several run-ins with Nick’s grumpiness and closed-off heart, he’s ready to give up. Only after discovering the secret Nick’s been covering up for years does he vow to break through Nick’s walls to find the loving man hiding behind them.
I love holiday stories and Christmas in July just gives me more opportunities to read them. I enjoyed this book and the characters. Jack is happy to move to Great Falls and has wonderful memories of his childhood there. It takes a little getting used to, but he loves the town’s residents and the slow pace of life.
Seeing everything through Jack’s eyes made it a bit hard to understand the “ornery and stubborn” Nick. Through glimpses you could see that Nick isn’t quite as bad as he wants everyone to think. Jack’s determination to get to know Nick and the person beneath his grumpy exterior is endearing and learning Nick’s secret can make you see him in a different light.
Cover art by Paul Richmond is adorable and catches your eye.

Rejected. Heartbroken. Devastated.
Blaze Canis is doing what he loves best. As a shooting range instructor just outside Yellowstone National Park, the former Navy SEAL sniper is still handling firearms. When Shoshone Native Logan Swift Rider walks into his target shooting class one morning, the attraction each man feels for the other is swift and magical. Since Blaze’s SEAL teammates never knew he was gay, let alone a werewolf, he’s confident his new lover need never know of his two natures.
Meet the newest members of the Vampire Guard, where legend and myth meet science and technology.
Nineteen-year-old college student Levi Reed has spent his life with hollow emotions and a darkness so deep that he’s convinced he’s losing his mind. He’d give anything to feel something, anything, real.
Robert Johnny just turned thirty, and his life is pretty much in the toilet. His writing career is on the skids. His love life is nonexistent. A stalker is driving him crazy. And his cat is a pain in the ass.
Cat-sitting is a dangerous business.
Two men bonded by love. A long forgotten secret neither knew they shared in common.
When his best friend, Lee, offered him his sub as part of a bet, Colton Prier never expected more than a clean condo from the boy. But Tate Nicholson is well-trained, eager, and he likes rope play as much as Colton enjoys tying him up. It should have ended after one night, but they begin meeting in secret, and Colton can’t stop thinking about Tate. It’s a betrayal of his friendship with Lee to fall in love with Tate, but Colton can’t help wanting the sub for himself.
