Winter Wonders by Leighton Greene

 



Amazon Link  - Available in KU

Faking their way through Christmas...

This holiday season, Cooper Kincaid finds his perfect Christmas gift on the side of the road: Jonathan Ashe. So perfect, in fact, that he can't resist unwrapping the gorgeous present and playing with him a little early, after taking Jon back to his cabin to recover from a minor car accident.

Jon seems to bring out something deep inside Cooper...something he's tried to keep hidden from previous boyfriends. But their merrymaking is complicated when Cooper lies to his meddling mother, and tells her he's dating Jon.

Jon has no interest in a new relationship after getting his heart broken. Definitely no interest in the heir to the Kincaid estate, where Jon is working for the holidays. And especially no interest in a guy who's so new to finding his bossy side in bed.

Still, maybe a fake relationship could be fun, just for the holidays?

But Cooper has made up his mind: it's his Christmas mission to heal Jon's heart. He's determined to work out exactly what Jon wants, and give it to him.

Meanwhile, Cooper's disapproving mother not only invites his ex to their Christmas Eve event, she digs into Jon's past to prove to Cooper that they're totally unsuited.

Can Cooper and Jon admit that they might be each other's winter wonderful, or will their differences and outside interference prove too much?


Winter Wonders is a standalone holiday romance novel with humor, just a dash of angst, and west-coast cool versus east-coast class. HFN/HEA guaranteed, and no cliffhangers.

Featuring: Snowed In, There's Only One Bed, Hurt/Comfort, Fake Dating, Mistletoe Kisses and (naturally!) some naughty fun.

MM Holiday Romance




My Rating - 4 Stars!


Winters Wonders is a sweet winter romance by Leighton Greene. It's a pure sweet read. 

The forced proximity aspect is a leading factor for Cooper and Jon, as Cooper helps Jon after his car breaks down. What follows is a one room, one bed night. 

After that, it's the fake relationship aspect that takes over, as Cooper needs Jon's help in dealing with his controlling mother. If you enjoy fake relationships, you will love this one. The way it comes about is fun and humorous, and the way it carries out is wonderful. I love when feelings get involved, which is just a fantastic part of this tale.

And then there's Cooper's mom. She's the classic bitch at the start, but the author definitely has more in store for her, making her a multi-layered character of her own rite. And damn, I absolutely adore the way Jon deals with her. Score one huge point for Jon! I seriously love that scene.

The BDSM aspect isn't a huge factor here. There's a little bit of sweet d/s at play, but it really isn't much. If you enjoy a little bit of kink, you will enjoy this here. They are definitely hot together. I didn't love Jon's desire to talk about kink though, as I thought it kind of didn't fit with the rest of the story. 

Their story also includes a rich versus poor factor and a jealous ex. 

Overall, Winter Wonders is a nice holiday read. Leighton Greene kept me intrigued with a sweet and tender tone and kept me compelled with the sweetest of their developing feelings. The idea of Winter Wonders itself is beautiful; totally a Hallmark movie type thing. It warms my heart to imagine it.
