A M/m Taboo Holiday Collection.

Sometimes the best presents are naughty…and sometimes they’re sweet…

Tim & Cade
In His Little Man, Tim’s secret fantasy became the start of a new relationship between himself and his neighbor, Cade. Now that their relationship is growing more serious, Christmas becomes not only about presents, but about growing together and sharing the day with friends who understand their special connection.

Jeremy & Kevin
Jeremy and Kevin opened up to one another and learned how deeply you can love someone in Too Close to Love and Too Close to Hide. With school on track and new friends at their side, they’re taking time away from everything and having a well-deserved vacation.

Nathan & Gabriel
In Flawed Perfection, Nathan discovered parts of himself he’d never understood before. With Gabriel’s help, he learned why he always felt different. For Christmas, Gabriel has more sexy and tender surprises in store for his sweet pup.

Nick & Kyle
In Beautiful Shame, Nick and Kyle learned that with bullying, things aren’t always as they seem. Now that they’re home for the holidays, Nick’s mother is bound and determined to make sure they don’t get too much time alone. Once they have the house to themselves, though, all bets are off.

This is not intended as a stand-alone; it’s four shorts that check back in with the couples from various MA Innes stories (His Little Man, Flawed Perfection, Too Close to Hide, and Beautiful Shame). All of them center around Christmas celebrations, and they all maintained the distinct feel of the characters (like Nathan’s lack of filter and Jeremy and Kevin’s goofiness).

The stories were all sexy and sweet, and Nathan and Gabriel’s especially was heartwarming. It was wonderful to get a glimpse into the characters’ lives beyond their stories. I would love to see even more of these in the future!

I think this author does better in long form than in short snippets and I'm not a fan of how often we are reminded how young all these guys are by their interactions with their mothers. It's off putting.

A great collection of sweet and sexy Christmas shorts. I loved catching up with all the guys. Seeing them so happy and moving forward with their lives. Finding safe places and families that accept them. The gifts they exchanged were perfect for each of them. A perfect bundle of super sexy, cute and funny Christmas shorts of our favorite guys.

Includes a Kevin & Jeremy Christmas short that takes place after book 2.

Okay, correct that. Includes a Kevin & Jeremy short which includes Bryan & Maddox. Takes place after the 4th Bryan & Maddox book. The Christmas after they all spend Thanksgiving with Bryan’s mother.

I’d say it was an extra, but it filled in a couple of niggling holes in the story.

At Thanksgiving (Their Perfect Future), Bryan’s mom didn’t know Kevin & Jeremy were brothers, but a passing reference later shows she found out. Here you go.

Also, Maddox teasing he should buy the brothers a ball gag for Christmas. Here we see them opening the gift and trying it out. Needless to say, Kevin loved it.

So, yes, the boys spend Christmas with Bryan’s mom. She has a heart-to-heart with Jeremy where he shares their entire story. Then the boys go to a mountain retreat that Maddox’s family rented but then wasn’t able to use. (Mixed messages from his parents who flipped out on him at Thanksgiving.)

Maddox gives them the ball gag, to Bryan’s eternal embarrassment. Jeremy admits he doesn’t know how to use one, so while Maddox and Jeremy talk in the other room, Bryan word vomits out his advice on the subject before rapidly changing the subject to dinner plans. Kevin lets him get away with the subject change.

After dinner they all watch a movie. Kevin sits in Jeremy’s lap and grinds on him. At some point, Bryan breaks. Maddox takes Bryan to bed and Kevin & Jeremy check out the hot tub ... and the gag.

Kevin’s pov...

He walked toward the door, reaching down to grab the ball gag as he passed the end table. Just looking at it had me leaking precum. I loved being held down by him, having his strength pressed against me, but knowing that he would keep me from crying out was even hotter.

He was going to take away something so basic, and I was going to let him.

I grabbed the base of my dick to keep from coming. Maybe I was just as ready as he was after all. He chuckled, rattling the toy in his hand. “You’re going to love this, baby.”

This is a collection of four novelettes taking place after the main novel has finished. Each story needs you to read the main story first.

Tim & Cade - you need to have read His Little Man first.
This Christmas is about their relationship which is growing more serious and sharing the day with friends who understand their connection.

Jeremy & Kevin - you need to have read Close to Love and Too Close to Hide first.
With school on track and new friends at their side, they’re taking time away from everything and having a well-deserved vacation.

Nathan & Gabriel - you need to have read Flawed Perfection first.
For Christmas, Gabriel has more sexy and tender surprises in store for Nathan his sweet pup.

Nick & Kyle - you need to have read Beautiful Shame first.
Home for the holidays, Nick’s mother is bound and determined to make sure they don’t get too much time alone. Once they have the house to themselves, though, all bets are off.

I really enjoyed a chance to catch up with these couples and have a little glimpse into how their futures were developing although it did remind me that I would have loved to know even more about their futures. Natan and Gabriel were just so sweet and I would know how the ceremony all works out. This book contains MM mature content of BSDM-like relationships including D/S, DDLB with pup play and humiliation.

Another WINNER! M.A. Innes is awesome...as usual. This Christmas/Holiday special is such a treat. So good seeing ALL the boys again during the holidays. ALL the stories are HOT, sweet, passion filled and so satisfying. I love this author's writing and the characters and loves from the taboo books. I am excited about reading what M.A. Innes has in store for the boys in the coming year.

Yummy

I'm not a fan of most short stories, but I loved these. We get to visit some of my favorite characters and check in with what is going on in their lives. These are perfect scenes and extra stories that celebrate the various couples and different taboo relationships.

The blurb says "mild BDSM Elements",but thats not true.

The first Story is about Hardcore Daddy Kink.DNF at 4% after reading how Tim/Timmy behaves and is treated like a 2-year old,including changing of full Diapers.

If i had known about that,i wouldn´t have started reading.

Oh Happy Day

I love me some update on nick and Kyle to have a full length novel would be even better(hint hint). It was truly wonderful to check in all the other couples especially Jeremy and Kevin and mad and Bryan. Everyone should have a mother like Michelle especially the babies as usual an excellent book mr. Innes looking forward to your next!

Too short

I loved catching up and seeing the different couples celebrate Christmas, but I do have a complaint it was far too short! More please next year.

Eh, one scene set-up, one sex scene. One couple I was not familiar with. But not really my kink anyway. Hardcore fans will probably love.

I love when authors do this. Getting to see how the guys are doing is a big thing for me. It keeps the characters alive for me. It’s why I love to read series books all together. That way I don’t have to leave the world the author created until it’s done.

I have enjoyed the original stories of each couple featured in this holiday book. It was good l to see how each of them celebrated Christmas, while still staying true to their kinky relationship. It amazes me to see how well the author combines sex, kink, and loving sweetness. Each book is a favorite to read again and again, and this one is equally wonderful.
