MacIntosh Meadows #4
A Merry MacIntosh Christmas
What do you do when the person you can’t get out of your head is the son of the man who jilted you thirty years ago? Proceed with caution!
When Dr. Joseph Nielson—aka Doc—walked into his exam room, the last thing he expected to find was the spitting image of the fiance who had hurt him so badly that he’d spent the rest of his adult life as a bitter bachelor.
Marion Harris is a twenty-nine year old virgin… who happens to be nine months pregnant, thanks to having agreed to be a surrogate for his best friend. After an unlucky year of sorrow, he’s now alone with a child to raise and nowhere else to go but his father’s hometown of MacIntosh Meadows.
After a not-so-great first impression, the two men keep finding themselves pushed together during the holiday season they both hate by a mischievous family who loves them—the MacIntosh clan. Despite every reason they shouldn’t, neither one can find a good enough reason to fight the matchmaking… or the natural attraction they both feel.
This is the fourth book in this heartwarming series and contains a virgin giving birth in a barn, three wise guys in pajamas, and enough holiday feels to keep you smiling into the new year. Pretty much everything you’d expect from a Susi Hawke book.

***** What a fun Christmas story; a real treat !
It's a twisty tale of Marion, a 29 yr. old virgin Omega who is 9 mos. pregnant as a surrogate.
His folks have died, and then the couple died, for whom he became a surrogate. He's inherited property in his Papa's hometown, where he hopes to begin a fresh life.
Joseph, 40, is the town doctor,
who dated Marion's Papa decades ago. I loved the older/younger, the sweet newcomer, Marion, who's pregnant and in need, plus the many big-hearted townsfolk, and Joseph, the Alpha who has met his destiny.
A baby born in a barn, the pajama wearing onlookers, and Joseph swaddles the new babe. Many laughs, lots of cuteness, some suspense, caring people, and a dreamy love found !
ENJOY !

A Christmas Story (an audio review)
A pregnant virgin is stranded near Christmas and in need of shelter. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. Except this isn’t Mary, this is Marion. And his companion isn’t the Joseph from the Bible, but Dr. Joseph Nielson, obstetrician extraordinaire. He’s the only doctor working near Christmas and as Marion finds himself stuck and in need of help, Joseph is expected to step in and help. Only problem? Marion reminds Joseph of a painful part of his past. So can he work through the existential crap and help the young expectant father? Time will tell.
I have listened to a bunch of Susi Hawke audios recently and this one was good, although not my favorite. A little cheesy on occasion, but sweet. Marion has come to town to claim his inheritance, not realizing how complicated that will prove to be. He’s also pregnant and about to give birth so, yeah, the kindness of strangers is appreciated – especially the two grandmothers who take him under their wings. Of course there’s the birth in the barn, and the three wise guys in pajamas (and yes, that was definitely funny). There are plenty of laughs and a few sentimental moments as well.
Drew Bacca narrated the story and he did a good job. His narrations and solid and consistent which is important. Overall it was good and I’m glad I listened.

4.5 Stars!
I've been curious about Doc/Joe/Joseph since I first met him and he was every bit as dreamy as I expected, at least after he got over the whole thing of Marion being the spitting image of the man who jilted him at the altar, that is. LOL It wasn't nearly as bad as it sounded, though, and thankfully, Joe got over it fast. I really liked Marion and thought he was just perfect for Joseph.
As always, it was a delight to catch up with the rest of the McIntosh clan, they are so much fun and their antics were just what I needed to get over the worst book hangover ever!
Drew Bacca did a great job portraying all the different characters and he definitely has a knack for light, fun stories. Highly recommendable!

Audible. Also available on KU.
I listened to the MacIntosh Meadows box set (books 1-3) not too long ago and enjoyed it. I was excited for this one as May/December is one of my favorite tropes. This was a quick, sweet, funny, and low angst listen.
Drew Bacca was phenomenal. I love that he reads the narratives of each chapter as if they're coming from the "voice" of that particular character, not just the dialogue. This brought things to another level that I really enjoyed. As with the other books in the series, he gives every character their own unique voice and personality. I look forward to more of his narrations.

Ehh, so this was a nice story and almost to hunky dory for me. I will admit I jumped into the series with this book but I don’t think that was it. I don’t know, Joseph got over his issue with Marion very quickly then everything was basically perfect. I enjoyed Drew Bacca’s narration and was glad to not hear the growly voices that seem to be common and other books I have listened to by him. There was unfortunately multiple times where sentences were repeated.

This is just a sweet take on the whole nativity scene. Joseph and Marion are so sweet together. And baby goats!

Sheesh -- the very last scene/paragraph of this book called Joseph "Lincoln," an example of the worst error to overlook in a published story!
The concept of his old flame's offspring becoming Dr. Joseph Nielson's soulmate was intriguing, and while the book was as corny as her other books in this series, it was preferable to the way-too-bizarre and intimate mating themes created by our writer, such as "uncle-stepdad," or " cousin-half-brother. " While there isn't anything wrong with step-siblings marrying each other, especially when neither Kade or Alec knew each other before their parents got together, the idea that there are people who do find something wrong with such a relationship is upsetting. Also, I get that Ms. Hawke pushed the bizarre, questionable and unusual to write this series, I still nearly had a toothache from my teeth grinding while reading Kade's, Zeke's and Marion's stories. The comedy and humor of Kade was just too, too overdone. He was the one character that I couldn't tolerate after one or two snarky comments, and HE ends up with the sexiest, most beautiful of the alphas around? Yes, his two alpha brothers weren't anything close to being losers, but Alec was as gorgeous as Joseph is, aside from being a dozen or so years younger, and he is matched with Kade, who was just so flamboyant! Sorry for whining about Kade and Alec - I just cannot reconcile how Alec fell for him. Laurie, Dusty, and Marion were well-spoken, intelligent, and beautiful; Kade was no less attractive, but when he opened his mouth, I felt tense, and I actually grimaced at his remarks and behaviors. Yes, he has a big heart and was kind and affectionate with all the kids; however, his mouth and attitude were just as huge, overpowering his beautiful heart. I'm unable to overlook tactless comments and offensive body language or attitude, as once voiced, harsh words are never forgotten.
Anyway, this book's about a sweeter, more personable, level headed young omega who is as gorgeous as his alpha. I enjoyed reading this book, in spite of the frequent mistakes and typos (I did take off a star for that - there isn't any excuse for using the wrong name, especially one belonging to one of the other characters, for either of our main characters. This story brought home the idea that fate is not coincidental; rather, events, moments in time, circumstances, happen for a reason and purpose. Joseph was a wonderful, skilled, well-loved and admired as well as respected alpha and doctor. He may have blamed his loneliness on Marion's father, but in reality, he was too busy doing what he loved, and living in solitude despite moments of loneliness, to actually have time for dating and finding someone to settle with. He stayed single, as did Marion, so when Marion's life choices and circumstances brought him to the hometown of his now deceased father, Joseph was available, open to (after initially resisting), and ready to accept that fate had led Marion directly to his soulmate. Lovely resolution. Perfect would have been a story without snarkiness in it.

In the spirit of no/low angst Holiday reads, we have the story of 29 yr old Marion who is heading to MacIntosh to take possession of the property that his uncle left him in his will. Marion has been through a lot. 10 years previously, he lost his fathers to carbon monoxide poisoning and the less than a year previously he lost his best friend and her husband. Oh and by the way, Marion is pregnant with their child. He had agreed to be a surrogate for them when she was unable to do so. We have Joseph who has not gotten over his first love leaving him at the alter many years ago. When Marion finally makes it to town, his car gives up the ghost right in front of the grandmothers. And of course they take him under their wings and make him feel right at home. When Joseph & Marion first meet, it is not love at first site for Joseph. Marion's father was Joseph's best friend & to get him out of a bad situation, he agreed to marry him, but when the big day happened, Marion's dad left town & Joseph high & dry. Needless to say, Joseph wanted nothing to do with Marion. But the of course the entire crew wants Joseph to finally be happy and keeps pushing these two together. As they spend time together, Joseph starts to see Marion for the man he is & lets the past drop away. I absolutely loved the goats in pajamas and every time Drew Bacca baa'ed, I broke out laughing. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Can two men find love in spite of a ghost from Christmas past?
What a wonderful addition to the Macintosh Meadows saga. Everyone from the first three books are here, welcoming us back into their lives. There is humor, pathos, passion, a nativity-like birth, and three wise guys- goats in pajamas. What's not to love!
Marion is nine months pregnant. The baby is now his due to the death of his best friend who he was the surrogate for. His boyfriend has absconded with all his savings. So he goes to Macintosh Meadows to claim an inheritance. When his car dies at the diner in front of Granny Libby & Grandma Dot, they adopt him. Meeting the local OB should be routine. That is until the Doc freezes upon seeing him. Joseph had seen a ghost. Marion is the son of man who jilted him the day of their wedding thirty years ago. Joseph had been alone for so long he can't believe love would ever find him. But their attraction is as intense as it is inevitable.
Come. Join Joseph & Marion on their journey to HEA. Watch as they learn to love Christmas as they connect with each other. A blizzard, a birth in the barn attended by three wise guys... the goats in pajamas, and the whole crazy Macintosh clan make this a Christmas story to remember. You will love this book!
This book is a follow-up to the series. I recommend reading the first three books in order. You will be glad you did.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.

Merry Macintosh #4
I love stories with Silver Foxes!
Hot! HOT! 🔥!
I seemed to like each story more than the last. That was true here too!
How many people are kind enough to carry a child for their friend who had cancer in college. But how many people become the legal guardian of the surrogate they are carrying? Such kindness!
When Marion comes to town to claim his inheritance he was not expecting to run into the Macintosh Meadows Grannies. Marion became theirs from then on.
When the Grannies got it in their head he and the baby, Skylar needed to be checked. It was there he met Joseph and Joseph saw his copy...his Dad.
Once apologies were made and then they got to know each other. So well. Joseph went old school and asked if he could court....
Well let's leave some excitement for the book but even though this was the shortest, I loved it and the 2 main characters, Joseph and Marion. But the 3 Macintosh boys are in it as well as their omegas. I do love how they omegas pull together to get things done or watch someone's kids. (Kade is my favorite omega). But as far as Alphas...Joseph.
I highly recommend this series! This whole series is awesome and this book is a great one to end with!

Another MacIntosh Winner! I loved Doc & Marion!
Charming and endearing. I loved Marion right from the start. While challenges, sadness, and bad luck drove him to MacIntosh Meadows; once he arrived he was immediately adopted by the MacIntosh Matriarch’s and his life turns around. He finds a family, a sexy alpha in Doc (eventually), and a new life he always wanted. This story has all the feels you want, and have come to expect from Susi and all the loveable MacItosh characters around to celebrate, match-make, and charm you, all over again.
Wonderful narration, great characters, and another lovable story!! I loved it!
Additional Note: I loved the hilarious, on-the-nose similarities of a virgin giving birth in a barn, with 3 wise goats and Joseph & Marion’s names LOL. I also loved that each chapter of all the MacIntosh books starts with a song title. A very clever scene-setting addition!

This was very cute and adorable read. Everything happens pretty quickly though and it's not very realistic the way their relationship takes off but it is an omegaverse story so I try and over look the insta love in these. Marion returns to a town his omeg dad grew up hoping for a new start new life with his child that is expected very soon. He comes back to collect an inheritance that turns out to be not worth claiming but using his last bit of money to come all this ways turns out to not be a total waste when he meets two very sweet older ladies who basically take him him as family and a very hot and sweet doctor who he can't seem to get out of him mind. Only things between them may not be possible due to the alphas past with Marion's papa. I enjoyed this story but I do wish it was a bit longer and the reltii ship extended over more than a few days before the two fell in love. Over all it was an easy read and I finished this one pretty quickly.

Disappointing
When I read the previous books I always wondered about the doc's story, finding this on my recommendations was exciting, reading it, not as much. The characters are lovable and the idea itself is good, quite romantic and while cliche it's still cute and Christmassy. But the pase is odd, the dialogues are longer than natural, feel force and even the jokes fall flat many times. At the beginning I thought I wouldn't love it but maybe I would read it again for the loveliness. Not anymore thou, I'm getting ready of it and starting to doubt the author. All her work lacks in the same areas and this one in particular feels more like a Christmas rush to get money than a Christmas gift to the readers... Disappointing indeed

Audio Review:
Drew Bacca is the perfect narrator for these stories. He has that charm to his voice that just works so well with the sweet Omega's.
The story was the typical Susi Hawke Mpreg, very cute MC's brought together by meddling family and the infamous MacIntosh Grandmothers.
I liked the age gap. I found the relationship a bit skeevy at the start, since the MC had been engaged to the other MC's father, but once it was all out in the open, it just worked.
If you're looking for a sweet, charming romance, this is the audio book for you.

Great characters and appearances from previous books in the series.
It’s like coming home for the holidays and catching up with family.
This will make even a Scrooge like Christmas again!
Sweet Plot lines and low angst, just a feel good read.
Can’t wait to see who else we meet from MacIntosh Meadows next time!

~AUDIO REVIEW~
Sweet Holiday Story
Marion and Joseph were so sweet together. I wasn't so sure about the relationship in the beginning but it worked out just fine.
Bringing in the MacIntosh clan from previous books help make this a wonderful holiday story.
Drew Bacca did a great job. He did well with distinguishing the different characters. Oh, and the goats. Gotta love the goats!

A Merry MacIntosh Christmas is the fourth book in the MacIntosh Meadows series by Susi Hawke. It is a contemporary m/m romance with an mpreg, an age gap and a very interesting twist.
This book is sweet, funny, and had me smiling while reading. Marian and Joseph are fantastic characters that just make you fall in love. Definitely recommend this book!.

Sweet! A lovely Christmas tale
As a huge fan of Susi Hawke, it was a joy to return to MacIntosh Meadows for a holiday story with a virgin birth in a barn. I love these characters and it was with great pleasure that I got to see them welcome a new Omega and celebrate the festive season.

Christmas Romance
So perfect - Christmas healing of the hearts. Loved being back in MacIntosh Meadows for a visit with all the regular characters. Happy to meet two more, Joseph and Marion, an age-gap, meant-to-be-together pair. Susie Hawke is a master at giving us characters who are funny and charming. Read this story, fall in love with this giant family and the pair they rally round this time. The Nativity scene birth was a stroke of genius!

I love how this story starts out with Marion showing up and town and the grannies taking over. I love the chance to visit with old friends from the first books in the series. But the best was to see the connection between Joseph and Marion. Despite the age difference they click. It also let Joseph but to rest an old hurt in such a surprising way.

From book one to book four I was drawn in. I literally read all four books back to back only stopping long enough to get a little sleep. The books characters become your family. They make you laugh , and cry both happy and sad tears. I so wish I lived in a place like this. I find you can never go wrong when you pick a Susi Hawke book.

Still reading books by this terrible author, and I can't figure out why. I think I might be "hate reading" them? Anyway, here's my latest complaint, as written in a previous GoodReads review: I find it biologically confusing that the author decided that some men can get pregnant, but apparently didn't develop that ability until formula was invented, as they don't produce breast milk.

Could this book contain any more Christmas puns?! It was absolutely fabulous and a great addition to the series with the doc who helped bring all the sweet babies getting his own family

Loved it
Another fantastic book in this wonderful series. Marion is such a sweet character and Doc definitely deserved love. The creative twist on the nativity was really great as well.
