Just In Time for Christmas

Rate this book
They came to her rescue, just in time.
But will their Christmas kindness turn into chaos for all three of them?


Leaving behind her abusive husband was the best decision single mother Billie's ever made, but she's finding it tougher to cut ties with her emotionally manipulative mother. In a desperate attempt to get out of going home for the holidays, she makes up a fictional boyfriend.

Her story's a little thin, however, until a chance meeting with her hot new neighbor Asher Bennett leads to him stepping up to pretend for her. After all, from hundreds of miles away, how could Billie's mom know that gorgeous, charming Asher is actually the long-term lover of his equally alluring high school sweetheart, Seth?

The plan seems foolproof...until Billie's parents decide to fly out for Christmas to meet her new man.

Will their ruse fall apart like a stale gingerbread house, or will covering for Billie lead Asher to fall harder than he ever dreamed?

He and Seth have never shared before, but when Seth starts to feel more than just friendly with the curvy girl-next-door, she might just be one gift meant for them both to unwrap.

Is there room for three under the mistletoe?

Just In Time For Christmas is a bisexual menage romance with high heat MM and MFM scenes (swords do cross in this one!). It has no cliffhangers and no cheating but it does have a very happy ever after and lots of steam.

This was book 12 in the "Just Us" series. Billie is a single mother who left her abusive husband she moves to a new town for a fresh start leaving behind her manipulative mother who fixed her up with her ex Justine. When she tells her mother that she's not coming home for xmas because she is spending it with he new boyfriend she regrets telling her that because she hasn't been on a date since her divorce. Then she meets her hot sexy neighbor who is out walking his dog. Asher and Seth have been together for years Seth has always thought he was gay until he meets there new neighbor Billie and they both find themselves attracted to her. When her mother and father show up for a visit Asher agrees to pretend to be her new boyfriend. I did not like her mother she was rude and pushy and I was glad that she told her off after she found out that her mother told her abusive ex where she was. This was a pretty good edition to this series. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Good, But Too Short

I really liked this. I thought it was well-written and overall a good story.

Wilhelmina "Billie" Stratton left her abusive husband and is starting over with her infant daughter in a new city. She meets her gorgeous neighbor, Asher, when his overzealous dog knocks Billie down. When Asher invites her to dinner, she meets Seth, Asher's boyfriend and housemate. The three of them become friends quickly... but soon, both Asher (who considers himself bi) and Seth (who had always considered himself gay) find themselves attracted to Billie as more than a friend.

When Billie's overbearing mother insists that Billie and her baby daughter Kristine come for Christmas, Billie lies and says she spending the holiday with her non-existent boyfriend. In need of a fake boyfriend, she asks Asher to take a picture she can send too placate her mother, thinking that would put an end to her mother's badgering. If only...

There was so much good stuff in this book, but it was just a little too short for me. I would've loved to see the scene where Billie's abusive ex shows up to her house and runs into Asher and Seth. And it isn't until nearly the end that the three of them get together. I would've liked to see more of their relationship.

Like I said, it was a good, well-written story with likeable characters that I wanted to see more of.

Roxanne delivers another moving story about ending up right where you are meant to be.

Billie is working hard to separate herself from her demanding family and ex-husband, whom her mother is working hard to get her to take back. Having moved out on her own with her daughter, Billie is working to get settled as her mother demands that she travel home for Christmas. Billie meets her new neighbors Asher and Seth. These virtual strangers care for and support Billie more than her own mother.

I love the bond that grows between all 3 of them and Billies' daughter. I am so will to move wherever I can find people like those in Roxanne's stories. There is so much feeling, understanding, support for each other that I would love my family to live surrounded by that too. It gives me hope that there are still good people out there.

A great read that provides hope and heat.

Two males for Billie

I would heartily recommend this book to all who love great romantic menage stories. What happens when your latest crush is not one but two guys who happen to be in a committed relationship. One offers to be in a fake relationship so that you can fool your interfering parents. Imagine if they liked you like you liked them. I hope readers enjoy this book as much as I did.

I enjoyed reading this story very much. Billie, Asher, and Seth are a cute little throuple. Billie moves in next door and has the parents from hell. Asher helps with that problem and the guys end up falling for Billie and her infant daughter. It was well developed as a quick instalove story. I wish it had been proofread and edited - it would have been that much more enjoyable without all the errors jumping off the page. It wasn't enough to stop me from reading it though.

Another brilliant read by Roxanne. Billie and her baby Kristine have escaped from her abusive ex. However, her meddling Mum is a nightmare. With the help of her neighbours Seth and Asher she starts to build a new life. The chemistry between the three of them is palpable and what starts as 2 becomes 3 as they all explore their feelings and sexuality. Fantastic!

While short, Roxanne Riley knows how to deliver a good story. It's amazing how you come to care for these characters through a few lines. Well done!

Just in Time for Christmas is the twelfth book in the Just Us series. I read this book in one day and I completely loved it. Billie leaves an abusive husband and gets out of Colorado with her daughter. She had moved into an apartment while looking to rent a house for her and her daughter. Her mother starts hounding her about coming home for Christmas. She isn't willing to risk her mom trying to set her up with her ex-husband because her parents refused to believe he was abusing her. She ends up meeting her next door neighbor when his dog runs her over when she's getting the mail. Asher invites her over for dinner that night and she agrees. That night she finds out the Asher is bi and has a male partner named Seth. They all hit it off amazingly well and Seth even gets cozy with her daughter even though he has never held a baby before. Things get complicated when her parents announce that they are coming to her. Asher pretends to be her boyfriend until she has enough and snaps at her abusive parents and kicks them out. Things turn out for the best with Asher, Seth, baby and Billie. I read this book as an arc and I voluntarily leaving a fair an honest review.

I love Roxanne Riley, I haven't read too many polyamory books but I am really enjoying these from Riley. Her books often have real character development as well a lot of three way sexy times that are bisexual. This is one of my favorite books, I love Billie she is under handedly strong.

A slow burn love story with a nice storyline about two twin souls that find the missing piece to complete and build their family in a gorgeous curvy woman with a heart melting baby girl! Loved it! A definite recommended read as always by the queen of Menage! I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
