Christmas Mountain by Garrett Leigh Release Blitz

The probation officer caring for his dead brother’s baby. The wounded gentle giant with the biggest softest heart.

Rami

Sweet Fen Hawthorne is my favourite thing about working in the prison. His broad shoulders and sunny grin. His twinkly flirtation. And he likes me as much as I like him. More seems inevitable until life happens.

One day I’m there, then I’m not, and second chances don’t really happen when your car breaks down halfway up a snowy mountain, do they?

Besides, I don’t remember flirting with a bearded lumbersexual, only dreaming about one.

Fen

Do dreams come true?

Christmas Mountain is my home. But it’s the one place on earth I never imagined seeing Rami Stone again, and now I’m snowed in with him. Trapped, with only a roaring fire for company, and it’s a fantasy come true. The air is thick with more than snow and the eighteen months we’ve been apart fades away.

As the snow clears, though, so does the haze. Rami says he comes with baggage.

But so do I, and I’m here for the heavy lifting.

I’m here for forever.

A Christmas MM romance from Garrett Leigh.

Expect: Long lost friends-to-lovers, heart-warming found family, and the swooniest second chance at love with a healthy dose of sweet hurt/comfort. Gorging on mince pies and cinnamon-spiced doughnuts is optional, but deeply encouraged.

Sarah – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is a perfect feel-good Christmas read. This is the story of two men who are reunited in a snowstorm on a remote mountain. Once upon a time, Fen and Rami were almost something together. When single father Rami finds himself stranded at Fen’s farm more than a year later, there might be a little fate involved in their reunion.

I love both of these men. As always with Garrett Leigh, there is enough grit in both Rami and Fen’s lives to make them feel wonderfully real and loveable. The setting is pure Christmas magic. Rami’s sister’s home is full of Christmas cheer and Fen even owns a Christmas tree farm. Rami’s half-feral nieces and nephew are fabulous, and I love the sense of chosen family in this book. Rami and Fen make each other stronger as they both find space on Christmas Mountain to work through the trauma they’ve experienced since they last knew each other.

This book is full of the best kind of holiday spirit. I will probably re-read it during the holidays and it might end up being one of the books I revisit each year.


Angie – ☆☆☆☆
This one made me melt. Rami and Fen are just soooo good together. This low angst story grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go! I don't read a lot of second chance books or holiday books, this one had both and I enjoyed every second of it. These two were meant to be together and I'm so glad they got that second chance.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a wonderful feel-good story, with plenty of grit thrown in to make it utterly believable. When Rami is driving through a snowstorm, desperate to do the right thing by his nephew, I was holding my breath as the car started to struggle.

I really don't want to reveal anything more, because you need to discover all the goodness for yourself. I can tell you that even a week after reading it, I think I could point out both men on a busy street. Garrett Leigh is very talented at drawing out the essence of characters and making them human. They are never perfect, they act on instinct, read things wrong, and struggle with help being offered, but they are so much more lovable for it. I was delighted with the idea of an office in the trees, and everything about Christmas Mountain.

Hugely enjoyable and heartwarming, as well as a delicious and sexy romance.
