Their courtship is all “finding the magic of the season” and “warming his Grinchy” heart while Griff wants Logan to find a true home and a true family, wanting desperately to get him to stay in Christmas Falls where he belongs.

There’s 🔥 chemistry between them as Logan invades his house, forced to stay in his spare room, and tagging along. It doesn’t take long to figure out that he’s very much a “fake” boyfriend and that they’re totally into each other even though no one has ever been positive about Griff that way.

Griff is the hot grumpy always been bi divorced dad who organizes the town Christmas Festival but simultaneously hates it and is known as the town grinch. But things change when his sister comes home for thanksgiving with her new “boyfriend” Logan and foists him on Griff in a mostly innocent way.

Okay so if you’ve never actually read the Christmas Falls books that started it all, let me get you on the hype wagon.

Darcy Stark as Christmas Falls Legend Griff “Grinch” Calloway is something I didn’t know I needed in my life to survive. WOW WOW WOW. Hot hot hot. 🥵 I could de-read all of Griff’s chapters just to hear Darcy’s warm, deep voice as Griff over and over again. Oh my gosh. So niiiiiice.

I’ve read and reviewed this book in print, and I thought it was smoking hot, but I’ve always wanted to read it in audio. Grabbed it on sale and immediately regretted not getting it sooner cause OH MY GOD! the audio just BLEW MY MIND!

Loads of quality cameo’s from previous books, and the only crime I can see is that this is a standalone when you KNOW damn well that at least ONE side chatacter is perfect and deserves a book.

Yes, yes it is and the courtship is SO SO hot and cute and ridiculous and seggsy. Has more wall-seggs than you can shake a stick at.

To add to the punny shenanigans, RM made Lukas PINE 🌲 a PLANT DÂDDY. honestly. IS THIS BOOK EVEN REAL???
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Yes dear reader, they shouldn’t but they totally *did*.

And it’s hot, and funny 😆 and the seggsiest forbidden work romance you could think of.
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Post- 🥜 he applies to be the team mascot for the local AHL hockey team. Cause he needs💰 and performing is performing! And he can’t think about this dude!

Except wouldnt this be a forbidden 🚫 work romance if they continued?
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Then. They kinda do? And he finds out his dude is the captain of the local hockey team. And as Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot.” And then he’s doing SP1cy yoga for his hookup.
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
So then he’s teaching him how to do a handstand. Then he’s doing a SP1CY 🌶️ handstand in a motel! His hookup is great, hot! 🥵 kinda wishes he could do it again!
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Okay so the story opens with our runaway ex circus aerialist Ben who is back in small town Bloomberg and trying to make ends meet running a yoga studio has a dead seggsy dude fall at his feet in a bar while trying to do a handstand.
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Anyway if I wasn’t already a fan, this one book just SEALED it for me! One of my dark horse faves of the year! I devoured it and was SO in love with each character and everything was so cute and ridiculous and PUNNY and self-deprecating gah I could go on but I gotta REVIEW it!
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
And then the inside note to the reader is even cuter and funnier and gah. RM IS SO ENDEARING AND GENUINE and PRECIOUS. but she also has SUCH a SP1cy streak to her. Such a good combo!

Jackson is so gentlemanly, Riley can’t help but fall for him especially when he finally sees him at the rodeo and it’s the sweetest HEA ever. Just the right amount of sp1ce in this slowburn and their courtship is so sweet you’ll get a toothache. Also the Canadiana is so real.
November 8, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Riley js sad and wants nothing to do with him but Jackson is determined to woo him. So he convinces Riley to go on a “friend” date. And then another “date” and another. Always respecting his boundaries while still showering him with charm and affection.
November 8, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Except when that man comes calling on him as a client in his ACTUAL workwear, Riley discovers the man, Jackson Sutherland, is a COWBOY and actually a rodeo Steer Wrestler!
November 8, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Enter a mysterious suited man in the park that woos Riley with random food facts and a smooth deep voice. They have lunches together and Riley thinks he’s met the man of his dreams!
