Blizzards and Bastards

Rate this book
I did not intentionally get my butt stuck to a frozen toilet seat.

I did not mean to spray my favorite singer in the face with pepper spray.

I’m just a fangirl, not a stalker.



Pop-rock band, Inked Pages, has just rescued this failed bookshop owner from a desolate rest stop.

These four spicy rockstars plan to drop me off at home and skedaddle to their ultra-viral holiday concert.

But the blizzard, it’s a Christmas miracle in disguise.



Twelve days snowed-in with my family.

Twelve days of hate-f*cks, hot tub cuddles, and naughty cookie-making.

They say people fall in love faster during a crisis.



What will these music gods do when the storm clears and the holidays are over?

Keep me? Or chuck me like leftover figgy pudding?



BLIZZARDS AND BASTARDS is a standalone Christmas rom-com. This is a reverse harem/why choose story which means our main female character, Cyan, finds love with four amazing men. There’s plenty of spice, lots of festive cheer, and the ‘snowed-in’ trope. It’s light, fluffy, sexy, and angst-free.

About the author

C.M. Stunich

160 books14.4k followers
C.M. Stunich is a self-admitted bibliophile with a love for exotic teas and a whole host of characters who live full time inside the strange, swirling vortex of her thoughts. Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn't mind - especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.

She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she's not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She's the author of over thirty novels - romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There's a heck of a lot to do there.

Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She's already looking forward to it.

Stalk me, please!

This was cute and I loved it. We have an awkward meeting, forced proximity due to a snowstorm with 4 why choose rockstars. It had all the Christmas vibes, smut, and a cute storyline. Overall, it was an enjoyable holiday read.

This is a CUTE Christmassy rh featuring a rock band. It's very silly at times and the Christmas based clothing and decorations are over the top, but it's still a fun story.

Imagine being a lone woman using a public (men's) toilet (women's is out of order) and a group of dudes walk in, laughing, and though you're desperate to stand up and pull up your leggings, you find yourself stuck to the freezing cold toilet seat. Someone tries to door, and instead of announcing yourself, you pull up your feet. Maybe they'll go away, or maybe one of the dudes will crawl under the door (this is an American toilet stall) and give you she shock of your life, by being the lead singer of your favourite band. This is how the book starts. It's ridiculous. But, it ends up being really sweet. 🎄🎅⛄

This book/audiobook was pure holiday chaos in the best way. Witty banter, emotional depth, sexy rockstars, and deliciously smutty why-choose vibes. The narrators nailed it, and I listened straight through because I simply could not stop.

The book had a ton of funny Christmas puns and over the top, silly, holiday analogies. I loved it.
When Cyan, the FMM ended up in a bathroom fiasco with her favorite band group, they somehow end up snowed-in in her families mansion… what could possibly happen?
Crispin, Frost, Aspen, Vale. All part of the famous band, Inked Pages.
(The names are … something…lol)

Cyan ended up having to move back home when her grandmother suddenly passed away and she had to close down her beloved bookstore. It’s a sore subject for her and she’s just really down right now especially having the family that she has. They are kind of a nightmare, but these boys really start to like her and stick up for her in ways that no one else has. This book is full of spice, a simple plot, and an easy binge read. It was the perfect book to read on Christmas.

I have read many reviews that were saying it was too much Frost. Well, I found it too much Crispin and I am a Frost girl.
I loved how comical and funny and true it was. I was a bit scared about the obsession Cyan has to the boys with every song playing from her phone being an Inked Page and I think Frost didn't have so much page time and I am still not sure about why he was a bit bitchy NOT THAT I DONT LOVE HIM.
But many reviews seems to read another book from me and I am starting to wonder.
Hell, Now i need to order it in paperback so I can be 100% sure i dont miss anything.
Perfect for the christmas time or any time really.

Such a great Christmas read. Loved the story and the characters. I can really related to Cyan and how she is treated. Lots of emotions and some seriously spicy scenes in the book. The ending was absolutely perfect.

I had so much fun reading this book. I loved Cyan and the guys. I loved how they saw her and helped her realize she deserved more from her family. I was so entertained.

Poorly written and wholly unbelievable. This chick is stranded at her house with her family, consisting of six adults, including her parents, and eight children, and she's having public sex in all the rooms and nobody ever walks in on them. The only time anyone in her family ever shows up is to be mean to her so the guys can feel sorry for her or, eventually, rescue her from them. They are simply a narrative device and serve no other purpose. That's a sign of poor writing. Also, one of the guys crawls under a stall door in a public bathroom and nobody bats an eye about the disgusting floor he just rolled around on. I couldn't get over that.

I had a ton of fun reading this book, and I’m officially in the holiday spirit🤣🤣

Safety info:
- why choose, 1 girl, 4 guys (part of a band), very tiny MM
- no v, one guy in the band is described as a f*ckboy
- no OW drama (the band’s female bodyguard is rude to the FMC but she does not have feelings for the band)
- slight OM: FMC’s mom tries to get her to talk to/starting dating a friend, but the FMC has no interest in him. This happens while the MMCs are in town, and they do get slightly possessive.
- past hookup mentions for the FMC: FMC had a threesome a few years ago and it is constantly brought up😭 In the beginning, one of the MMCs saw a picture of the threesome night, so they are aware of what happened. The OMs involved in the threesome with the FMC from years ago do appear once in the story (and MMCs are in the room), but the FMC turns down their offer for other threesome. FMC has only had two real relationships and the hookup(?) so very minimal experience.
- past hookup mentions for the MMCs: one is a known playboy. No ex hookups show up for any of the guys. The rest of the band are into hookups/sometimes groupies. One of the guys does not sleep around often.
- FMC is the first girl the MMCs have dated as a group. They have had group sex together in the past, but never dated the same woman because they could never agree on one.
- slight MM: not explored very much, but some neck kisses and touching. It’s mentioned that they are all involved and have done stuff together, but they prefer girls.

This was such a fun christmasy read .

Things can't get any worse right ? she lost her grandmother and then lost her bookstore and now has to move back home to her family who treat her like shes worthless. Wrong! on her way home she has to make a stop to use the restroom only the woman's room is out of order and she has to use the men's... and now her ass is stuck to the seat and men have come into the bathroom. She doesnt want them to know shes in there but her mom calls her and outs her . Now they think shes a stalker because they're not ordinary men . They're one of her favorite bands and things are about to get weird and spicy.

This is a why choose with found family vibes.

An unexpected gift

A short and quirky story, a chance meeting, a series of unfortunate events and a blizzard.All of these lead to our FMC spending the lead up to Christmas with her favourite bank “Inked Pages”
I feel for Cyan, she’s still grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother and has a thoughtless family who treat her poorly.
Having the band stranded with her is definitely a great Christmas present, love all the guys and the way they support her.
Some wonderful spicy scenes, the Christmas themed condoms I definitely want to see.
A great read for the season.

So congrats on me for finishing a book this month. Weird combo or Hallmark and Porn. Not sure how the main characters don’t have diabetes. Also I find books like this less believable than fairy porn. Weird right. Not terrible. Again I finished a book and it helped me fly a frontier flight without my phone, headphones, or Xanax. Read this out in the open on the flight and a few days later at the dentist office.

couldn’t put it down

Perfect for the holidays with the cm stunich touch perfected for those who have been readers for a while. I spent all night giggling at the way the main character starts off her holiday season in a men’s toilet stall that led to her most magical (and spiciest) Christmas yet

It was the perfect Christmas smut 🎄
Cyan and the men make the story very fast paced and alive. I loved the awkwardness, the holiday cursing, all the indoor holiday activities and the spice was spicing. Of course it is very fictional but it did not fail to support getting me into the Christmas mood. I thought it was also very relatable and realistic that Cyans family is not perfect during the season.
Definitely worth reading.

Fab Festive read

What I would give to be snowed in with a hunky rock band!! I loved this festive read from C.M Stunich. Cyan and her guys are amazing. If you want to curl up by a fire and read a Christmassy story this one is perfect

I’m not a big fan of rockstar romances; made up song lyrics in books is one of my book icks cause I never think they’re any good. BUT this book was fun! Light and sweet and funny and, of course, naughty. I enjoyed it ☺️

I have read the original and of course loved it. When I heard that CM not only revamped the cover but added more words I was ecstatic. From the moment you read the first page you will be completely hooked. A perfect Christmas story is unputdownable. The characters and the chemistry between them is hot just like their sex scenes. Another amazing read by CM that is a definite must read.
