This is a dark/cute Christmas romance, and yes, the whole book is as paradoxical as that sounds! Killian bumps into Damen when he is trying to give his ex the slip. Damen is looking for a fake husband so he can join in his family's Christmas 'Hunt'. A match made in heaven?
Honestly? This book is bonkers! You have Damen the Assassin, who is completely gone for his boy. Killian the Innocent (sort of!), who really doesn't know what he's agreed to, plus a whole host of crazy (and slightly psychotic) characters who help move this story along. It's Christmassy, it's cosy, it's hot as hell, oh, and just a tad murderous!
I can't wait for more in the series, as there are definitely characters I want to see more of - Corvus being one of them! The epilogue for Damen and Killian was absolutely perfect as they are still smitten with each other. I really hope they show up in future books.
Absolutely brilliant and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.

Their romance takes place during just over a week, but trust me, your emotions will go up hill and down dale as their story sweeps you along. These two are perfect in every way for each other. There are HOT and spicy moments, romantic moments, snarky moments, and then my-eyes-are-leaking moments. Plus, there is lots of caretaking, which is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. And it is so well written, you won't even notice how long it is!
With a whole host of supporting characters, I was ecstatic to find out Joe will have his own story. I'm hoping to meet up again with the characters here, especially George and Alex, to find out if all their dreams are coming true. Absolutely fantastic and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME.

Debbiereadsbook (1647 KP) rated Elias in Books
May 12, 2020
Elias is plodding along, not particularly happy, as such, but getting by. He has a good job, and will be making VP shortly. Then he meets Ty and all bets are off. Ty brings something out in Elias, and Elias in Ty, and they just have to get past their *initial* thoughts about each others jobs.
SO!
I am ALL about my books feelings and this book right, hits a whole damn lot of them! I have not had such a cute story, that left me with so much warm and fuzzies in a long damn time! And I really REALLY enjoyed it!
Both Elias and Ty have a say, in the third person. So we get all the things Elias was thinking about when he meets Ty and Ty tells him off for putting his rubbish in the wrong bin. We get all of Ty's emotions when he realises how much more than friends he wants to be with Elias. We get it all.
It's not especially explicit, but damn, it's hot! There is chemistry, right from the start, between these two and it burns bright and hot the whole way through.
It's a bit emotional in places, when Elias is talking about his family and his past, and I was tearful at that point. Ty's family is great at taking Elias in as one of there own though.
There is no violence, no nutty ex, no major break up. And THAT, my book friends, is what I LOVED most about this book. The fact that; yes they fall out; but it's such a minor, silly thing, and it's resolved pretty quickly, but it's not relationship-break-up material, you know? It's a falling out over the choice of words one of them used, and everyone is happy after they talked it out.
They get their Happy Ever After in a very, almost fairy-tale like way, and I really REALLY enjoyed it!
4 wonderful stars (Can't quite stretch to 5 and most of the webistes don't do halves!)

Debbiereadsbook (1647 KP) rated Shouting Match (Amore Matchmaking #1) in Books
Apr 17, 2022
Capone has been the head of the family since his father passed away. His youngest brother has decided to start a matchmaking scheme, and Capone is target one! But did it have to be Fuller, the hot cop who got him all hot and bovvered under the collar after a traffic stop?
This book, right? Is as pure a warm and fuzzies slash too stinking cute book as you're gonna get! Or at least, the purest I've had in such a long ass time, and I loved it!
Capone is a restauranteur, and Fuller the local cop, in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone else. Brando, the youngest brother of 4, and his matchmaking scheme needs a poster couple and who better than Fuller and Capone, eh?
What follows is a delightfully easy read (a really REALLY good thing!) with lots of misunderstandings, no real break-up but wonderful make-ups after those misunderstandings!
Both men are scared: Fuller after his last relationship, and what happens here because of that. Capone because of Fuller's job and because he has to look after his brothers and his mum. Capone had a wonderful upbringing, but Fuller not so much. They love the small town they live in, just wishing everyone wasn't so in-yer-face about everything. But when something happens, that in-yer-face-ness is vital!
It's funny, it's sweet, some smexy times, but not too many, just the right amount for this book. Some nosy brothers, all with a secret they've been hanging on for so long.
Said brothers are fabulous, and mum is awesome! And that goat is hilarious and nasty to all the brothers except Fio, who feeds him!
Fio is next, I have Grudge Match on my list to read shortly.
First I've read of Pine, so guess what? Wish list just got longer!
5 full and shiny stars (but I did write 4 first!)
