When physics grad student Fielding Monroe and skirt-chaser and football player Mick Colman become college housemates, they’re both in for a whole new education. Mick looks out for the absent-minded genius, and he helps Fielding clean up his appearance and discover all the silly pleasures his strict upbringing as a child prodigy denied him. They become best friends.

It’s all well and good until they run into a cheerleader who calls Mick the ‘best kisser on campus.’ Fielding has never been kissed, and he decides Mick and only Mick can teach him how it’s done. After all, the physics department’s Christmas party is coming up with its dreaded mistletoe. Fielding wants to impress his peers and look cool for once in his life. The thing about Fielding is, once he locks onto an idea, it’s almost impossible to get him to change his mind. And he just doesn’t understand why his straight best friend would have a problem providing a little demonstration.

Mick knows kissing is a dangerous game. If he gives in, it would take a miracle for the thing not to turn into a disaster. Then again, if the kissing lessons get out of hand they can always blame it on the mistletoe.

My Review

Blame It on the Mistletoe is one of the cutest, sweetest, HOTTEST gay-for-you stories I’ve ever read.

It is my last book in 2015 and I’m delighted it proved to be a 5-star read.

As for the story, the blurb says it all.

The characters are unique and adorable, the romance and the plot are brilliantly structured, the erotic scenes are heavily charged with emotions and seriously makes you hot – considering it is actually a gay-for-each-other story, it is very surprising – and they have the best first kiss ever. No, I’m not going to quote it. You have to read it yourself. But maybe I’m just reading it again now. For about the tenth time.

Title: A Fortunate Blizzard
Author: L.C. Chase
Genre: Contemporary / MM Romance

There are worse things than being stranded in a blizzard.

Artist Trevor Morrison has always appreciated the little things in life, treating each day as a gift. And with good reason: he’s been on the transplant-recipient list for too long now. When he learns just how numbered his days truly are, he resolves not to take them for granted. But he won’t be unrealistic, either—which means romantic commitments are off the table.

Marcus Roberts seems to have it all. He’s handsome, financially sound, and on the fast track to partnership at a prestigious law firm. In reality, though, his drive for success has meant no time for friends or relationships. Add in the fact that his family discarded him long ago, and he’s facing yet another holiday season alone.

When the biggest snowstorm to hit Colorado in decades leaves Marc and Trevor stranded at the same hotel, a chance encounter and a night of passion leads to more than either of them expected. Finding comfort in each other is a welcome surprise, but time is not on their side. Either they find a way to beat the odds, or they lose each other forever.

My Review

To make it short: it’s a MUST read.

Trevor Morrison is dying. He has end-stage kidney disease and has been waiting for a transplant for seven years. Because of his rare blood type the chances to find a transplant are extremely thin. If a transplant doesn’t come through in a couple of months, he has less than a year left.

This kidney disease is really original. I mean sometimes it seems fictional death is only by cancer or by a car accident.

Trevor lost hope and he is exhausted, still, he is such a strong and vibrant character. His disease was killing me too, my heart was breaking for him.

Marc Roberts seems to have it all. He’s handsome, successful, and on the fast track to partnership at a prestigious law firm. But actually it is all he has. His life is filled with only work and more work. He never has time for friends, let alone love.

Both of them are stuck at a hotel when a blizzard hits Denver. What starts as a hook-up quickly turns into so much more, and it changes their life forever.

It is insta-love, yes, but so deliciously and goose-bumpingly presented that I fell in love with these boys instantly too. The chemistry between them is tangible. The erotic scenes… OMG… are so hot… Trevor and Marc’s emotions and their very obvious connection are evident and present even in the first sex scene.

It was one of the most heart-warming, tearful, gripping, and steamiest stories I’ve read.

A Fortunate Blizzard is a remarkable Christmas romance, I loved every moment of it! Highly recommended!
