Kimo and Lopaka have taken their whole family to Scotland for an old-fashioned Christmas in a magnificent castle in the snowy Cairngorm Mountains. Their host, the Earl of Glennich, is a fanatic for Christmas and follows all the ancient traditions once banned in Scotland for four hundred years, until 1958.
The daffy earl is obsessed with good luck and fears bad luck around every corner of his haunted castle. Will everything go right when he asks Kimo to First Foot on Christmas Day? Tradition holds that the first person to cross the threshold must be a dark-haired man, whereas a fair-haired man or a woman are considered bad luck.
Kimo and Lopaka think things will go just fine. They’re having fun sneaking off for furtive lovemaking and finding secret places to kiss. For Kimo, this family Christmas is a dream come true after many years of loneliness, so nothing but good luck can be on their Christmas horizon...right?
A.J. Llewellyn lives in California, but dreams of living in Hawaii. Frequent trips to all the islands, bags of Kona coffee in the fridge and a healthy collection of Hawaiian records keep this writer refueled.
A.J’s passion for the islands led to writing a play about the last ruling monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili’uokalani as well as a non-erotic novel about the overthrow of her kingdom written in diary form from her maid’s point of view.
A.J. never lacks inspiritation for male/male erotic romances and on the rare occasion this happens, pursues other passions such as collecting books on Hawaiiana, surfing and spending time with friends and animal companions.
A.J. Llewellyn believes that love is a song best sung out loud.
What a treat! This Christmas story contains interesting Scottish traditions, a bit of mystery and magic, the very hot Kimo and Lopaka and their entire family, and to top it all off it is hilariously funny.
This story shows us Kimo and Lopaka in full parent mode, trying to get their children to behave, even if just a little. I loved the realism of the kids just NOT always wanting to do that. The addition of the Scottish Earl and all his fears around bad luck was hilarious. I really liked the mystery about how everything gets resolved in the end, even Kimo seems at a loss as to how it happened.
This is a perfect holiday read. Funny, with two very sexy men who are more in love than ever, misbehaving kids, and a bit of mystery. I totally adored it!

This was a welcome read in these cold winter days. I love Kimo and Lopaka and their Scottish Christmas made me laugh out loud. These guys are still hot for each other and still manage to have some blazing sex, but I love the progression they have made as the parents of three children. Little Pele (named for the volcano goddess) rings true as a toddler with a mind of her own. The whole Wilder clan is holed up in a Scottish castle owned by a mad earl who dresses up as Santa - all year round. I had no idea Christmas was banned in Scotland until the 1950s so the devotion to reawakened tradition was touching. I hope there are more Phantom Lover books in the works. I love these stories!
Kimo and Lopaka family are spending Christmas in Scotland. They are learning about some the Scottish traditions. Earl is a character, he like to dress and be jolly year round like Santa Clause. Earl has his traditions and superstitious about things if not done right. They have seem to inherited a dog that follows Pele around every where. Raul and his wife are a hoot. We see the children and what problems they can find. They entire can make you laugh at time. Kimo trys all that he can to make sure to have some along time with his husband for some hot sexy scenes. This was awesome book to read, that mad you
I can't get enough of the amazing Kimo and Lopaka. AJ continues to give us amazing adventures with them and their family. At times laugh out loud funny, and as always sizzling hot love scenes. *Sigh*
