Filthy, Dirty Christmas

Rugged Mountain Ink: Balsam Creek Lodge #2

by Khloe Summers

Can this older mountain man find love with his best friends curvy sister?

Poppy
Just when I thought life couldn't get any worse,
My brother invites my ex to our family Christmas.
Well, he's not technically my ex but he may as well be.
I've fantasized about us together for years.
His big, inked hand around my neck,
His deep, raspy voice in my ear.
Ah! I get chills just thinking about it.
Trouble is, he's my brother's best friend and completely off limits.



Bodie
The only reason I'm here is to see Poppy.
Her soft, curved frame.
Her sweet, neurotic attitude.
I couldn't imagine a better holiday.
Now, I just need to get her alone.
Ten minutes is all I need to help her see where she belongs.
'Cause where she belongs, is with me.

After all these years, these two finally make a move?! Pffh!

The humor within this novel is pretty funny! Favorite quote: "Christmas music. You either love it or you don’t. I used to love it. Now, I’m not so sure I’ll ever be able to listen to it again.
Jingle Bell Rock… more like fuck my life."

The virgin trope and it being the perfect first time is... *deadpan.*

Khloe’s books are an instant click for me! I don’t even bother reading the blurb because I know I’m going to love it.
This was a really good short holiday romance with lots of sexy talk and some nice spice. I loved the brother’s best friend, and 20 year age gap tropes.
I’m looking forward to Luke and Mae’s story next!

Poppy (h24) secretly crushes on her older brother’s best friend, Bodie (H45), who secretly has feelings for her. When Poppy shows up with a date to her brother’s Christmas party, things start to heat up between the two, btu her brother, Wayne, soon puts a damper on things, only for the pair to blaze ultra-hot and steamy. Sweet and spicy mountain man, curvy girl, age gap romance with plenty of heat, emotional angst, some smiles – loved the whole ‘recovery steps’ and poor Wayne banging on that door.

Bodie is the hot older best friend of her brother and Poppy is in love with him, but thinks he won't feel the same. Now he is back for the annual family Christmas party where he meets Poppy again. He fell hard and fast years ago, but he knows he has to stay away. But when she brings a date and gets bratty with him, he finally caves and claims his woman. Age gap, steamy, romantic , sweet, hot older brothers best friend and I think safe (she was a V, and it sounded like he wasn't intimate with anybody since he had a crush on Poppy🥰) with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍 Can't wait to read Maes story 🥰

Poppy is obsessed with Bodie. He is her brother's best friend, too old for her. But the attraction isn't one-sided. They both love each other, but will Wayne have a problem with it? Will he get in the way of love?

He wants her in his stocking for Christmas

Filthy, Dirty Christmas is the second book in the Balsam Creek Lodge: Rugged Mountain Ink series. This series is a great read and this book is a wild ride of emotions with a lot of hot and sexy passion. The story is about Poppy and Bodie, with an age-gap and forbidden romance that has longing, hidden feelings, snark, one kiss that unleashes everything to change their lives and a lot of swoon.

[Jenifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brother's best friend, taboo romance tale full of angst and steam. I loved when Poppy said she was doing a 12 step program to purge herself of Bodie, only to cave the first minute she sees him. For some reason I found this part to be hilarious.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The author has given us a Christmas Themed older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Bodie, Poppy and his best friend/her older brother, Wayne. The story keeps us turning the pages with unspoken love, connection, obstacles and steam.

❤️❤️

All I can say is I absolutely love this series & will not be happy when it is finally over!!!!! It all started with me falling in love with Henry the big inked mountain man & I’m not sure how many books have fed my obsession 😊 So you must read this along with all the others it you haven’t yet

Finally after years of holding feelings for each other, they finally give in to their instincts. The only thing in their way is her feelings for her brother and his feelings for his best friend. He finally accepts their love for each other, his best friend becomes his brother-in-law and they get their HEA.

Sweet

A sweet love story where dreams do come true. Imagine loving someone from afar and thinking they don’t feel the same way about you. Only to discover they do…but your brother is against the relationship. And yet you leap feet first into your new reality. A HEA is coming your way.

[Cynthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really good story, there was plenty of forbidden passion, strong chemistry, hot alpha mountain man, and steamy chemistry. This book grabs a hold and keeps you there until it is completely finished.

Was I a bit angsty reading the scene in the kitchen, yes. Even though I knew there was a HEA, yes. Was it worth it, yes. Am I off to read the next one in the series? Yes!

We have loved every book in the series. And this one is equally great. Brodie took long enough, but it was a great "coming together" for the two.
