The Kite and Tallowwood: Christmas Crossover
Harry and Asher are living peacefully on the North Coast of NSW. Life is quiet, boring, and utterly perfect. Though coming from a life of danger and excitement, Harry worries that Asher will grow bored of the “normal” life. He misses the adrenaline, the action, and most of all, he misses his “baby.”
So Harry goes against his own better judgement and organises a special Christmas gift for Asher.
Life has been picture-perfect in the sleepy little town of Tallowwood. Since the horrors of the murder trial ended, Jake and August couldn’t be happier. Tallowwood was unassuming and uneventful—just how they liked it.
Even the town’s newest residents are decidedly normal. On paper, that is. In person, August isn’t so sure. He’d done background checks on them when they’d first arrived and found nothing, but something about them was off.
But when the Coffs Coast Gun Club sends an application for a Christmas gala day and a familiar name catches his eye, August is determined to meet the newcomers in an official capacity. He wants to see if his hunch is correct.
What was a surprise Christmas gift for Asher, might just unbox a whole can of worms.
An 11,000-word short story.

What the hell did I just read?
I love both couples, especially August and Jake, and was excited for something jolly because Christmas, right?
Nope. Jolly this was not.
It was a bundle of suspicion and the hot Australian sun ending in a cliffie.
No holiday vibes, abrupt ending, nothing about how August & Jake are faring.
I enjoyed the Harry/Asher scenes, and Asher at the shooting range was magnificent, but seriously what even is this story?
Is the author planning on a part 2? Is this just a cheap way of touting the original novels?
Why pretend this is a holiday story when it's clearly not? Why pretend it's a complete novella when you couldn't be arsed to write a proper ending?
This is some massive bullshit from one of my favorite authors.
Going with 2 stars because I typically enjoy Walker's work, but I wish I could unread this story. If you like one or both of the novels, STAY FAR AWAY.

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
Asher ogled Harry’s bare chest with a heated appreciation. “Maybe breakfast can wait . . .” Then he made a pained face like he couldn’t decide. “No, let’s do gifts and breakfast first. Then you can spend the rest of the day doing delightfully obscene things to my body.” He clapped his hands. “I insist.”
Out of the two couples from Tallowwood and The Kite, August and Jake are my favorite. It was really nice to see all of them again, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed by this. I was hoping for more time with Jake and August, and just more couple-y bliss, I suppose. Maybe even for the guys to become friends somehow. Maybe I had the wrong expectations, because whatever I expected, this wasn’t it. Asher and Harry were hot and sweet as always. There wasn’t anything wrong with it, really, I just didn’t understand what the point of it was after finishing, but then I found out about a coming sequel to The Kite, and then it made sense. It definitely feels like a setup for that. I wish the novella stood more on its own to give is a follow-up on the couples.

“While I’m not a fan of the dirt you bring in on my nice clean floors, I am a fan of you being all dirty and sweaty.” Harry smirked at him, then very deliberately lifted the hem of his shirt and wiped his face, giving Asher a view of his abs and chest. Tit for tat.

This was a gamble for me.
I LOVED The Kite.
I DID not love Tallowwood.
But I couldn't help myself and figured the price was right.
I can't say I'm surprised with the ending...I figured it was a setup for a sequel for one of the two books. And I'm pleased that it's the couple I enjoyed getting another story.
Can't wait for more Harry and Asher!!

I set the bar low for Christmas-specific fare (it's the Quality Street of reading) but this novella couldn't hurdle a sheet of newspaper.
No plot, two anodyne thoughts repeated endlessly, appallingly slipshod proof-reading (lurching from 1st to 3rd person)—and did I mention no plot? For the first time, I am considering returning a book and asking for my 79p back.
[I have been reminded this is the season of goodwill, so I will note that other N.R. Walker books are generally decent—think Thorntons Continental Selection.]

I saw some people give this low ratings becauses it has no plot . People it's a bonus holiday short story crossover , how were expecting anything more than getting to spend some warm and fussy page time with your favorite characters.
.
Anyways lol I adored getting to see Mac and Asher two years since their book ended and August & Jake are one of my favorite NR Walker pairs next to Mac & Asher so double win. A Tallowwood Christmas, a special present, plus a steamy scene because it's Mac & Asher 😂
.
“I was watching you and you made that face.” “What face?” “Where you look rather murderous and sexy, but it’s really just you thinking. Was it math? I get it, math can be hard.”
In one moment, he knew if it came down to protecting Asher, Harry would take down the world. Without hesitation. He’d be back in the world of death and shadows in a heartbeat. He’d raze it all to the ground, never bat an eyelid, and never stop. If something happened to Asher, he’d have no reason to stop .
"We need to go back upstairs,” he said seriously. “You need to do some very obscene things to me.” Harry laughed. “Okay.” “I mean it, Harry. All day. Santa insists that you do.” Harry laughed again. “Merry Christmas to me.”

The Kite and Tallowwood Christmas Crossover, N. R. Walker’s very short story with a very long title, is a compelling - almost 5-Star - read
UNTIL
the very last page.
Disappointedly, at the 90% point in the book, Walker - one of my favorite authors - chooses to hawk the sale of the two books (The Kite and Tanglewood) whose protagonists are featured here.
It would have been far better to provide a definitive conclusion to the suspicions raised throughout this otherwise clever Australian Christmas story by the featured couple of gay policemen.
This type of promotion always leaves me cold. Others may or may not have that same reaction.

This is not much of a book. Short, with characters from two previous books by the author, but really nothing new. Even having read both the prior books, it has been awhile and it would have been nice to retell enough of their stories that brought back some memories. So I was very disappointed and certainly think that anyone not familiar with the original books won't have a clue of who these people are.

Well, that was not as Christmas's as I expected, and left a lot open

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.75 stars
The Kite and Tallowwood Christmas Crossover is a short novella that brings together two of N.R. Walker’s couples for a holiday story. As the title suggests, the book features August and Harry from The Kite (the first book in the Milvus Files series) and August and Jacob from Tallowwood. Therefore, this is going to be a book likely best enjoyed by those familiar with the original stories/couples, particularly Harry and Asher. While this is a crossover book in that both couples appear, this is definitely more Harry and Asher’s story. Jacob and August appears as side characters and are mostly there in a supporting role, with their story focused primarily on reacting to what Harry and Asher are doing.
This book delivers on exactly what I think readers will want from this type of story — a chance to reconnect with favorite characters. And while this one came out last year, it is also a great way to bridge The Kite and the second book in the series coming soon. I enjoyed this one and am very excited for Harry and Asher’s next adventures.

"For our home. This is our home. And I know you worry that I'll get bored with this life, and I worry the same for you. So, if we ever do become lost, Harry, this is where we'll come home to.
THE KITE AND TALLOWWOOD: CHRISTMAS CROSSOVER made my heart so happy after my reread of The Kite. Getting to see Harry and Asher two years later, living the normal life they wanted and how in love they were made all the pain worth it. Harry is still a grump, and Asher keeps him on his toes and if possible, their chemistry is even hotter. Add an adorable kitten, shooting range shenanigans, reuniting with Jake and August from Tallowwood and this reader was a puddle of feels.
Memorable Quotes
"You were very distracted down there," he noted. "I was watching you and you made that face." "What face?" "Where you look rather murderous and sexy, but it's really just you thinking. Was it math? I get it, math can be hard."
"There on the veranda railing, just a few feet away, were two kookaburras."
"If their identities were false, their relationship wasn't. August was sure of it."
"In one moment, he knew if it came down to protecting Asher, Harry would take down the world. Without hesitation. He'd be back in the world of death and shadows in a heartbeat. He'd raze it all to the ground, never bat an eyelid, and never stop."
"The north, south, east, and west, for all the corners of the world we've been. For all the corners of the globe I'd go for you. So I went with a compass, for us."

Ok, so in real this is only 49 pages... all the rest is advertisement for 'The Kite' and 'Tallowwood' and her other books. I read this in 30 minutes. Not even worth the 99 cent.
And while we get a tiny glimpse into the lifes of Asher and Harry and even a tinier one into Jake's and August's life I expected a bit more....

December 22, 2023
I loved being back with old friends, but have to admit the non-ending confused me. Is there a cross-over novel coming? Because otherwise, why?
October 3, 2024
Loved this crossover between some of my favorite m/m couples. It was good to see them again. I had to giggle in regards to Harry's first Christmas present to Asher and how giddy that made Asher. I'll gladly read more books involving these four great men.
January 7, 2024
An okayish story I didn’t like the cliffhangerish ending.
January 15, 2024
The guy put the red flag up—and the irony was not lost on Harry at all.
Asher Garin holding a Mac 50 was the biggest red flag known to man. — Harry
Warnings: Guns. A deep near unhealthy love of a specific gun.
This is a perfect piece of fanservice, well to a degree. You need to be a fan or at least have read and remember both The Kite and Tallowwood to read this and properly enjoy this. If you don't understand the importance of Kookaburras or know what Ash's baby is then you probably should read/reread the original works first. I love the cover of this though. The scope and target are prime The Kite cover detailing, even if the tree doesn't quite suit the climate.
Asher and Harry are now going by the names of Joshua and Michael Hill, Joshua is a French expat as a way to explain that mysterious accent. I struggled to stop laughing at Asher in this. He shone so brightly. Watching him light up with his baby like a kid on Christmas is one of the funniest things I've read in while. He is a show off with her and it makes the small minded gun loving men of Tallowwood shut up. Harry is sweet af in his teasing and do anything for Asher attitude. Yunho does make an appearance it made me happy, he is so important to Asher.
Then we have Jacob and August. I feel they take a back seat. August is very suspicious of Michael Hill, only amplified once he meets Joshua and Michael on their rural property. Michael makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Joshua is less sus until the kookaburras come into play. I like their reaction to the two very dangerous men. It is easy to become complacent as readers as to how intimidating if not downright scary mcs of novels are to outsiders. Some things cannot be hidden by an immaculately designed cover story.
What I feel like this might be doing is setting up the upcoming sequel to The Kite, announced as a publication around September 2024 (as per N.R.'s New Years email). Am I complaining? Absolutely not. I love Harry, Asher and The Kite, I'm so pleased about spending more time with them. But I do feel like it was never established that The Kite and Tallowwood were set in the same verse before this was announced.
“Ah, Harry. I thought I called Asher.”
“You did. He’s . . . indisposed.” Yunho laughed. “I hope he’s thoroughly so.”
Asher laughed. “You know him so well,” he said loud enough for Yunho to hear. — Yunho, Harry and Asher
A representative gif:

I’d already read Tallowwood and just finished The Kite, so I was thrilled to discover there was a crossover featuring both couples!
First things first: this short story doesn’t really work if you’ve only read one of the two books. You definitely need both backstories to fully understand what’s going on and who everyone is.
I loved seeing the four of them again, but I have to say: there is no real Christmas vibe here. Yes, it’s December, and there’s gift-giving, but don’t go into this expecting snowflakes and warm hugs by the fire.
I also thought the couples would bond or have some meaningful interaction, but nope. That doesn’t happen either.
That said, I LAUGHED. Like, really laughed. Asher is just too good, his sarcasm and chaos energy are unmatched and had me cracking up the whole time. I could read about him being absolutely unhinged forever.
The problem? The story just… ends. Like, you turn the page and it’s over. There’s no actual conclusion. It felt more like a deleted scene than a real bonus chapter. I’m guessing it might make more sense once I read Book 2 of The Milvus Files?
Also, this isn’t on Kindle Unlimited, so I had to buy it, and honestly, it feels like something that should have been a freebie for fans. It’s fun, but incomplete.
Still, I’m giving it stars purely for the joy that is Asher. Worth it for the laughs!

Harry and Asher are living peacefully on the North Coast of NSW. Life is quiet, boring, and utterly perfect. Though coming from a life of danger and excitement, Harry worries that Asher will grow bored of the “normal” life. He misses the adrenaline, the action, and most of all, he misses his “baby.”
So Harry goes against his own better judgement and organises a special Christmas gift for Asher.
Life has been picture-perfect in the sleepy little town of Tallowwood. Since the horrors of the murder trial ended, Jake and August couldn’t be happier. Tallowwood was unassuming and uneventful—just how they liked it.
Even the town’s newest residents are decidedly normal. On paper, that is. In person, August isn’t so sure. He’d done background checks on them when they’d first arrived and found nothing, but something about them was off.
But when the Coffs Coast Gun Club sends an application for a Christmas gala day and a familiar name catches his eye, August is determined to meet the newcomers in an official capacity. He wants to see if his hunch is correct.
What was a surprise Christmas gift for Asher, might just unbox a whole can of worms.
Heather's Notes
So I read this because I had really liked the Tallowwood stories. Now I need to go back and read the "The Kite". I think I will like those two.

4+, Asher i Harry znalaźli swoje miejsce na ziemi, ale nie spodziewali się, że trafią na detektywów, gdzie jeden z nich, August, jest podejrzliwy… Asher i Harry poznali ich osobiście, bo detektywi postanowili ich odwiedzić.. widać trafił swój na swego :D Harry przygotował niespodziankę dla Ashera z okazji świąt, ale Ci musieli to zepsuć, ale i tak się ucieszył jak dzieciak :D Asher nadal jest tym wesołym chłopakiem a Harry ponurakiem, nic się nie zmieniło :D Spotkanie na strzelnicy było udane z jednej strony, ale z drugiej podejrzenia detektywów się potwierdziły, są niebezpieczni.. zastanawiam się tylko kto im odpisał, prawdziwy wywiad, który będzie chciał się ich pozbyć po cichu, bo wiedzą gdzie przebywają uciekinierzy, czy też ich przyjaciel Yunho, który ma pod kontrolą to co ich dotyczy.. pewnie się wkrótce okaże.. ale teraz Asher ma swoja ukochaną zabawkę, więc nie są aż tak bezbronni..

Perfect. Short, fun, and delicious (Asher isn't shy about asking for what he wants, and Harry is always happy to oblige). It gave me a warm fuzzy to see August and Jacob, the kookaburras, August's gut feelings, and of course Harry and Asher's swoony love. Even a bit of Yunho involvement, just to make sure the gang's all here. I've read plenty of crossover and Christmas novellas, and this is one of the best—not surprising since it's N.R. Walker. It is completely beyond me why a few people didn't like this. The only thing I can think of is that they have unrealistic expectations for a 60-something page book. It's a Christmas crossover, folks - settle down and enjoy our lovely boys being happy. Well, as happy as August gets, anyway. That guy is so suspicious and cranky! And I do love him best of all. Happy Christmas!

Awesome tale in the series ! NSW, North Coast. People were giving low ratings, why?
This is a short, fun tale, not a plot filled novel. It's supposed to be fun.
Harry and Asher are two years and two Christmases in their house and doing well. They have new names, Harry/Mike, 36, and Asher/Joshua, 35, are getting set for Christmas and things have settled down.
There are noisy singing Kookaburras and a remarkable rifle, McMillan 500, in the mix.
A sweet short story about two former assassins enjoying their lives, deeply loving and humorous.
Have fun reading this !

Umm… what was this? I was expecting a story about a friendship between the two couples and getting a glimpse into their futures. It was sweet (in an illegal creepy worrying way) what Harry did for Asher. But there was barely any August and Jake. And I was not a fan of the animosity because like I said I wanted to read the complete opposite. And everything was out of character: Basically an abrupt ending and nothing needed to add to two otherwise decent stories. Disappointing from NRW.

Perfect Refresher Before the Next Installment*

In this expertly crafted bridge novella, seamlessly recaps key events, reacquaints us with beloved characters, and sets the stage for the upcoming installment. The writing is, as always, engaging and polished.
*Final Thoughts:*
Now, with my mind refreshed and my excitement reignited, I'm ready to dive into the next installment.

So I am a big N R Walker fan and Tallowwood and The Kite are a couple of favourites of mine so I was excited to read this but found it left me a little disappointed. I know it was a short story but it was way to short for me with no real substance to the story at all, perhaps an introduction to an actual crossover book?
It was nice to be back in the world of Asher and Harry and see how they had adjusted to retirement the adding in of August and Jacob seems like a bit of an after though. All up I just wanted more, more story, more of the characters.

It had some technical difficulties at the start, where I thought the details did not 100% match the main Kite book. But overall it was very fun to have a crossover where the characters are not all instantly friends but instead believably, rightfully and amusingly suspicious of the others. I's love for this to become a whole crossover novel where they eventually have to work together to solve some kind of involved case. Or do something entirely unrelated but Asher finds a way to bring in a lot of guns anyways.
