Kings of Castlebrook #3.5

A Very Unhinged Christmas

Rate this book
She’s his only obsession. His greatest temptation. And now, they’re snowed in together.

Cillian Kavanagh is a man of unwavering discipline.

Cold. Controlled. Celibate.

As the revered hockey coach at Castlebrook University, he commands the ice with precision, never slipping, never losing focus. Except when it comes to the sassy, untouchable pianist living in his spare bedroom.

Taking in his best friend’s daughter after her parents vanished was meant to be an act of loyalty.

A duty. A promise.

But from the moment Cillian met Eleanor Montrose, she became his weakness.

His fixation. His ruin.

For eight agonizing months, he’s fought the pull toward the girl with the sweetest laugh he’s ever heard. Instead, he’s poured every ounce of discipline into watching over her. Destroying any man who dares to look at her. Protecting her in ways she was never meant to know.

But when a Christmas blizzard traps them alone in his remote, one-bedroom cabin, Ellie stumbles upon his darkest secret.

Coach Kavanagh has been watching her. Tracking her. Infiltrating every moment she thought was private.

She should be afraid. She should run.

Instead, she looks up at the only man who has ever made her feel safe with quiet curiosity and unwavering trust.

And that’s all it takes to shatter the last thread of Cillian’s restraint.

This Christmas… the broody coach will worship her, praise her, claim her in every way he’s imagined. Because the truth is, Ellie Montrose has always belonged to him.

Ahhhhh, it’s so good to be reading London Snow’s book again 🥰 I’m just so obsessed with that author and everything she writes!!!

And I did enjoy A Very Unhinged Christmas a lot, I just wish it was a bit longer… They were such a great couple, so pleeeeeeeease give me more of them!!!

Some of you may know that I love me a good old age gap, and we have it here hehe (she’s 19 and he’s 39). And I know, I know… but they met when she was already 19 so that makes it better. What I love even more (hehe) is a celibate, inexperienced MMC 🧎🏻‍♀️(he’s been celibate at least since college, I’m not sure if it was precisely mentioned, but if it was, I didn’t notice). All in all, long celibacy. Yes, please, thank you.

I’m all for all the kinks London writes in the smut in her books, so no complaints in that department as always. I sometimes wonder if London Snow lives in my brain, because all the kinks are always a win for me lmaoooo 🤣 And I’m serious, ALWAYS.

Loved the characters, loved the vibes. I wish it was longer, because Coach Kav 👀👀👀 oh gosh, I love an older man… Ellie was great too, so I’m in a serious need to get to know better. It’s a Christmas novella with a bit of spice in it, so be prepared for not as much of a plot, but it’s perfect for a cozy afternoon.

Safety and content list below. May include spoilers.

Thank you to the author and The Bow Society 🎀 for sending me this ARC!!! 🫶🏼

★★★★. Thank you to the author for the ARC!

give me a sexy older man who falls for his woman the minute he sees her and is a virgin any-day. This is a novella so it’s very quick, however we do see cillianellie in the series or at least cillian. He’s the coach for the hockey team.

I do wish this was longer because I feel like her dad disappearing and her mom just vanishing could’ve been a good plot!

For my safety readers, completely safe. Both virgins.

I’ve been waiting for coach Kav’s book since we first met him in the other books. He’s so damn grumpy. But he’s nothing but a softy for his girl.

I do wish this would have been more of a full length book though. Seeing them at school, him being possessive and jealous over any of the college boys talking to her. Them sneaking around a little bit. All these things would have been fun to read about. I feel like it was a missed opportunity for a great story.

One thing I am confused about though is the author states at the end of the book that he is a celibate MMC but during the book he talks about how’s he’s never done anything before. So is he celibate or a virgin? I wish that was clarified more.

100% safe though as always.

I love a hot coach, especially if it’s in an age gap romance! I love this book series and i was so excited to read about Coach Kavanaugh! She showed up on his doorstep one day, and he’s house whipped from that moment on. This book was extreme grumpy x sunshine, and it was adorable. The grumpy hockey coach is willing to decorate his entire house pink for her. Also I loved the Guardian x ward trope now! Yes he’s twice her age but he’s her home. Both Ellie and Cillian are lonely, and lost but they become each others home. This book was beautiful, with some great spice. I give this a 5/5

This Christmas novella might be short but it packs hot spice and an intense connection with cute moments in between. The forbidden aspect of this relationship had me hooked. I hope we get more of Coach Kav and Ellie in the future.

I would like to thank London Snow and the Bow Society for the opportunity to read and review A Very Unhinged Christmas.

Ughhh I love London’s books! This was short, sweet, spicy and the chemistry was sizzling. Is what a Christmas novella should be. This story is about Cillian (Coach Kav) and sweet Ellie. He becomes her guardian and safety net after literally being dropped off at his door. They live together for 8 long months before they finally snap and move past that forbidden boundary. This flowed perfectly and we got a great story line, and off course the spice was spicing. Loved it!

A very Unhinged Christmas ARC Review

3.75⭐️
3.75🌶️

This was a hot and spicy time!

I went into this basically blind so I will say the age gap was a bit too much for my personal liking but I do appreciate the content warnings at the beginning of the book!

Despite that I think the story was very cute and I really loved the main characters.

Cillian was a sweet and possessive main character and I never felt like he came off creepy in any way, which I’ve unfortunately encountered in other age gap romances. But he was super funny and even though it was brief I love his interactions with the team.

Ellie was so amazing. She has been through so much and in her short life and because of that I felt like her and Cillian actually had quite a bit in common which was very reassuring throughout the story.

The spice was spicing!! I knew it was gunna be explosive and I love how they played off on each other.

Overall short and sweet and good for lovers of hockey and the holidays.

✨ARC Review✨
A Very Unhinged Christmas
By: London Snow

None of that matters. Because the moment I saw her, something inside me latched on. The feeling was silent, certain, primal. This girl is mine. Off-limits, but still mine for now. Mine to protect. Mine to keep safe. Mine to carry inside and take care of her.

“I think it’s pretty clear that everything I do in this life is for you.”

This man, who has protected me in ways no one else ever would, is my home, and I never want to be without him.

This is a quick, low plot high spice novella. Cillian and Ellie have that forbidden element to their relationship that I love! It’s a fun Christmas read.

Coach Kav: Short, Sweet, and Scandalously Addictive

London really said here’s a tiny snack and handed us Coach Kav, and now I’m sitting here starving. My only real complaint? This story is shorter than my attention span on a Monday morning, and I desperately need more of this adorable, chaotic couple.

For such a quick read, it is PACKED with adoration. Coach Kav is out here breathing for Ellie, thinking about Ellie, dreaming about Ellie… and meanwhile pretending he’s totally unaffected. Sir, please. The man is one heavy exhale away from confessing his undying love.

And Ellie? Oh, she’s down bad too. The mutual obsession is so strong it could power the whole campus and its surroundings.

If you’re in the mood for a bite-sized romance with love, tension, and the perfect sprinkle of spice, this is exactly the treat you need.

P.S. Every time Coach Kav yelled at Hayden, I laughed like an idiot. Absolute gold.

So freaking sweet!!!
90% of the book was Cillian aka Coach Kav being so obsessed and unhinged towards Ellie. 5% of the book was Coach Kav hate(love) relationship with Hayden 🤣 It was so funny how he fixated on Hayden Lockwood 🤣🤣
As someone who have read 2 out of 3 books in this series, I enjoyed Coach Kav's novella because the author has been hinting on him and Ellie since Tristan and Winter's book.
In serious note, this book is so light in plots and so heavy in spiciness. I actually wish the author explain more about Ellie's past, why his father dumped her in Cillian's front door. I think the author will explain more in her upcoming "secret society" series. Can't wait!!!

Thank you to London Snow for the ARC.

I have to say every book by London Snow is top tier and this one is no difference; even for a novella.

I need me a Cillian, the way he created his whole world to revolve around Ellie was WILD. I really didn’t think that was the origin story but you know what? It fits with London’s MMC and he didn’t disappoint.

Ellie? She didn’t disappoint either, she saw an opening and took it. She knew what she wanted and knew how to make Cillian break and cave to her whims and she took it.

I love me a touch starved age gap and this hit the spot the whole way.

Thoughts:

1. The content warning labels Cillian as celibate, yet it's heavily implied that he's actually a virgin. I'm not sure if, initially, the plan was for him to be celibate and it changed to virgin, but more than once his inexperience is referred to. It's even stated that he doesn't know what he's doing, never touched a girl or woman in that way, etc.

2. I wish there was some closure regarding her dad instead of leaving it unknown.

3. Cillian yelling at Lockwood brings me so much delight.

ARC Review- Thank you London and the Bow Society for the advance copy!

London Snow delivered exactly what the title promises... unhinged, obsessive, heart-squeezing perfection and I devoured every second of it.

This isn’t just a spicy Christmas novella, it’s warm, sweet, cheesy, swoony holiday goodness with a side of deliciously unhinged obsession. It hits every feel from head to toe.

Coach was nothing like I expected, in the best way. I always knew he had that rough, gritty edge, but seeing his upbringing and backstory cracked everything wide open. Suddenly every protective, possessive, slightly deranged decision he makes? It all clicks. And the way he’s instantly drawn to Ellie… I don’t think I’ve ever annotated a prologue more aggressively in my life.

His obsession and protectiveness are off-the-charts addictive. Tracking her in more ways than one (if you know, you know 😏)? Getting a job he “hates” to give her a real college experience, while conveniently becoming the broody hockey coach at Castlebrook U? Becoming an absolute menace every time Hayden Lockwood enters the room? Fully unhinged behavior, and I loved every second.

And Ellie… she is NOT as shy as she looks. Sweet, soft, a little timid with the world but with Coach? She knows exactly what she’s doing. She sees how obsessed he is, and she lives for it. She flirts just enough to make him unravel, and the way she eats up every bit of his intensity? Chef’s kiss. She wants him just as much as he wants her, and heading to that cabin on Christmas Eve, right as the snowstorm rolls in, yeah she knew exactly what would happen. Wrapped up together, no escape. Perfect.

Coach Kav (Cillian) is the grumpy, blue eyed, dark blonde, tough upbringing hero who melts into absolute mush for his “Ellie Girl.” I can't believe Coach was such a softy. His soft side is completely, utterly adorable. He’s the softest grump you’ll ever meet...just don’t tell him that.

And then London hits us with a bike scene for good measure. Not fair. The way Ellie describes how it feels to be on the bike with him...his touch, his hands always on her—it was EVERYTHING.

London truly has a magical gift when it comes to writing spice for virgin FMCs. I don’t know what she puts in these books, but the formula works every time. Whether her books are 80 pages or 300, I’m glued to my seat until I finish. And for her first age-gap romance? She nailed it. Completely.


Why You’ll Love This Book:
• Celibate, obsessed, unhinged MMC
• Sweet, sassy v!rgin FMC
• Touch-starved, celibate hero
• Dad’s best friend
• Possessive & broody hockey coach
• He falls first (and harder)
• 20-year age gap
• Praise (he worships her)
• Spanking
• Voyeurism (cameras… everywhere)
• Tracking (without her knowing)
• Touch her and d!e energy
• Forced proximity
• NO third-act breakup

If you like quick, spicy holiday reads that have obsessed/burn the world down for her MMCs, this is the book for you

4⭐️ 2-2.5🌶️ A VERY UNHINGED CHRISTMAS BY LONDON SNOW. This is Coach Kav’s story (from the Kings of Castlebrook series, which I love). London knows how to write unhinged MMCs, and I’m here for it. 👏🏻👏🏻

Cillian Kavanagh is a former military sniper. Eleanor (Ellie) Montrose is the daughter of his college roommate, and she shows up on his doorstep one day. Determined to take care of her but not cross a line, for 8 months he makes sure she’s got a safe place to live while at college, going so far as to get a job as a hockey coach to be on campus near her. When they return to his cabin for Christmas (her wish) and there’s a blizzard, though, all bets are off. She no longer wants him to keep her at arm’s length. She shows him how much she cares for and respects him—softness he’s not used to. He grew up in foster homes and doesn’t know what family is or how to let someone in. He literally thinks she’s the best thing to ever happen to him (‘She's pure sunshine straight to my veins’). She’s shy but not around him, and he loves that she’s a chatterbox—he wants to hear everything she’s thinking. 🥹 I love these two together - her softness balances out his need to be in control.

❤️ Spicy Christmas novella - 77 pages
❤️ Tension
❤️ He’s obsessed with her—completely devoted
❤️ He finds pink outdoor Christmas lights for her
❤️ He gets her a pink motorcycle 🏍️ helmet
❤️ ‘That’s my good girl’
❤️ Hand necklace 🥵
❤️ 🤚🍑

Favorite quotes:
‘Whatever she wants, I make it happen, and I can honestly say that making her happy is the only real, true joy I've ever felt in my life.’

‘I've spent a lifetime alone, uniformed, hardened, carving out survival because it was the only thing I knew. I wasn't built for softness. I wasn't made to hold something this pure.’

"You deserve this. You deserve softness. You deserve someone who adores you, Cillian. Someone who sees how good you are."

"When did you-Cillian, how? This is... this is beautiful. I've never had a Christmas tree before.”

"I think it's pretty clear that everything I do in this life is for you."

"I love you so much it hurts. And I can say without a doubt that you're the only person I've ever loved.”
"Oh, Cillian, I love you too. I've loved you this entire time."

SAFETY remarks
- SAFE
- Dual virgins (to my understanding)
- cheating/sharing: no
- ow/om: no
- separation/breakups: no
- possible triggers: not to me
- HEA

I loved the story. It’s too short though. I’ve loved all of London’s books so far. And these Castlebrook guys are something!! I wanted more obviously. But it was ok for a short story. Very low-angst. Very swoony. He is obsessed from second one!!

London says he is celibate. But I didn’t find anything that suggests that. He always says things that makes me think he has never been with any woman before. Take for example: “Baby, say something. I don’t know what to do here,” he’s begging me, and I realize in this moment that when he said he’d not been with other women this way, he wasn’t exaggerating.” So, again, I don’t know why the author puts him as celibate when he is a virgin. So dual virgins… yeeeesssss!!!! The way I like it and continues with the DV in the series.

They both are healing from their family connection. He is an orphan and she was abandoned by her father. So, they are home for each other. I loved their gifts.

Just two things I marked as red flags: she’s not on birth control, so, they both don’t care if she gets pregnant, and it’s ok. But it sounds like the previous books; all the MCs don’t want the girl to take birth control but months pass, and even they graduate and they don’t get pregnant. It’s like… are they all infertile?

The other dislike was that he asked some freshmen and their girlfriends to decorate his cabin. Ummm… it’s their house, secluded so no one disturbs them. Why did he ask this of students? Why didn’t he do it himself? Idk, it’s privacy stuff to me. But ok.

Beside those two points, I loved the story. Yeah, I wish the other bunch and gals appeared more, maybe the girls started being friends with Ellie. But maybe that’s for the next book.

And btw, it’s not that unhinged. We don’t get to see him doing unhinged things to those that breathed near her. It’s just a sweet book.

I can’t wait for next London Snow full book.

Oh. My. GOD. A Very Unhinged Christmas by London Snow absolutely devoured me whole in the best, most chaotic, most blush-inducing way possible. This book is unpolished perfection, the exact kind of unhinged, snowy, “he’d burn the world for her” Christmas romance I didn’t know I desperately needed.

Cillian Kavanagh? Forget broody—this man is a full-blown ice-cold menace with a worship kink, and I was hanging off every single tense, restrained, “I’m one second from snapping” moment. The discipline! The obsession! The way he pretends he’s fine when he is so, SO not! I swear I could HEAR the tension humming off the page.

And Ellie… sweet, talented, sunshine-soft Ellie who has absolutely NO idea her grumpy, celibate hockey coach/temporary guardian/secret stalker is holding himself together with the emotional equivalent of dental floss. The chemistry between them? GOOD LORD. It’s the kind of crackling, electric, slow-building storm that makes you kick your feet and scream into a pillow because WHY IS THIS SO HOT.

Then we get the snowstorm. The cabin. The one bedroom. The discovery of his “little habit” of knowing way too much about her life. And instead of fear? She gives him trust. Curiosity. Softness. And Cillian just breaks in the most deliciously feral, protective way. It’s like the whole book was waiting for that one spark to ignite an avalanche of heat, devotion, and absolutely unhinged Christmas obsession.

I loved their chemistry so much—intense, tender, forbidden, completely irresistible. This book is spicy in that “I shouldn’t be enjoying this as much as I am but here we are” sort of way. And I savored every unhinged second.

If you want a Christmas romance that’s dark, obsessive, snowy, and swoony with a hero who is ONE BREATH AWAY from losing his mind over the girl he can’t have… read this immediately.

London Snow, you unhinged genius. I’m obsessed.

This was a fun short spicy read.

Cillian meets Ellie when his old college roommate drops her on his remote cabin doorstep. She is in some sort of danger and has no one but him; he takes her in and cares for her. Cillian is instantly obsessed and vows to take care of her. He is an assassin by training but takes a job as a college hockey coach to give her a typical life. The main story takes place 8 months later when they go back to his cabin for Christmas, where they each give in to their feelings for each other.

- no third act breakup
- obsessed H
- age gap: h (19) H (39)
- college student/coach
- virgin h; virgin or celibate H (It’s unclear which it is). In any case, there are no OM/OW.
- spice: spanking, but also lots of comfort, snuggling
- only nice to her lol.
- Dual POV; HEA. Engagement in epilogue. I’m not sure how much later?

The author does a job a nice job of giving us enough small moments to understand that they actually care for each other. I loved that it was 8 months later so we know there were lots of time together to get to know each other. They’re adorable together.

Favorite bits:
- When they’re riding out to the cabin on his motorcycle - she keeps hugs him tighter and he keeps grabbing her leg
- their Christmas gifts - her giving him the bracelet that says “home” and him gifting her the lyrics of her original song
- the image of him just curled up and snuggled on her
- the proposal at the end and how she can only look at him and doesn’t even see the ring lol

Dropped a star: bc the author says his celibate in the forward, but then he says he’s never been w anyone… she refers to sensing that she’s his first but he never says anything about it when they’re together the first time and he seems to know what he’s doing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s not that important but the inconsistently was distracting.

London Snow has done it again! Made me fall for another Castlebrook man. This time it is 39 years old Coach Cillian Kavanagh. He is grumpy, he is older and obsessed with his college friend's daughter, Ellie.

A Very Unhinged Christmas is about Cillian and Ellie. She was dropped off at his front door of his cabin in the middle of the night by her dad. Her mother has disappeared and her dad is in dangerous trouble. He left her with the one man that could and will protect her. Cillian is a trained sniper. He doesn't do relationships due to his upbringing in the foster system. He struggled and fought to be the man he is. He is in control and doesn't feel, but lately something has been missing.

The moment he lays his eyes on Ellie, he knows its her that he needs to protect, to take care of, to keep. Ellie is 19 years old and has her own struggles due to her father's involvement with some dangerous people. She finds herself falling for the one man that has sworn to not touch her but is slowly losing that control.

He needed to give her a normal college life. Cillian is now the hockey coach at Castlebrook trying not to strangle Hayden and fighting his desires for Ellie.

It takes Ellie to make the first move and request that spend Christmas where it all started, his cabin. I couldn't get enough of these two! I loved London gave us Cillian's story. London writes her reads in a universl style, so you get glimpse of Cillian through the other reads. I always wanted his own story. I was not disappointed! More than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A spicy, must-read and perfect Christmas novella!

Cillian has been celibate for years but for his Ellie girl he gives into his desires bringing her to the highest pleasure she has ever experienced. He is the only one to have her in this way. His primal instincts takes over, needing to claim her in every way and never pulling out. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
