THE FORECAST LOOKS LIKE REINDEER is part of the Double-Booked for the Holidays series, a multi-author collaboration.

In this story, Dale and Aspen are both going to the Winter Wonderland resort - Dale to the human side, even though he's an alpha - and Aspen to the shifter lodge. He's hoping his omega heat doesn't spoil his Christmas. Both of them are looking forward to some peace and quiet, with plenty of R'n'R included. Unfortunately for everyone, something has gone wrong with the booking system, and everyone is double-booked. Dale and Aspen are the first to agree to share a cabin.

This is a very low-angst story that shows the connection forming between our two MCs. The descriptions of the places, the food, and the cabin are simply wonderful. And the steamy scenes certainly warmed things up! These two are compatible in simply every way, and it shows with every interaction.

And the story doesn't just end with Christmas. You get to see them the whole year (and more) afterwards. Yes, it's at breakneck speed, but you still see them!

A supersweet story that begins and ends at Christmas. A great read and definitely recommended by me.

As you may be aware, I am a Reflections Fan. I read book one and was drawn in. By book 2 I was completely hooked and just found myself further enthralled with Alec and Adri as the story continued. So I'll admit to being torn about this set. I loved Reflections and wasn't sure if I even wanted to read an alternate storyline. But then my curiosity kicked in and I started reading it. As always with Dean Murray's books, I ended up staying awake a lot longer than I intended as I "just read one more chapter".

The story is certainly darker than the original series, hence the "Dark Reflections" series title. You see familiar faces in unfamiliar conditions and surroundings. Some of the things that happen in Reflections don't or haven't happened here. On the whole, it is a brand new look at the wolf pack of Sanctuary and of the shifter world in general.

I really enjoyed this book, almost against my own desires, and am looking forward to reading more in this series. I think it will be very interesting to find out how Adri and Alec will meet up this time. If you like Reflections, then definitely give Dark Reflections a chance.
