My Holiday Reunion
Christmas is the season of second chances.
I’m not the same guy I was growing up, but I have some apologies to make for being him.
My fifteen-year high school reunion reminds me of my biggest regret.
Walking away from the love of my life to chase my career.
By doing so, I fell in love with another woman, had a little boy, and life mended itself.
Until my wife passed away.
Love can suck it. I’m not interested anymore.
And yet the minute I see my childhood sweetheart at our reunion, the ice melts inside my chest.
But she hates my guts for leaving her without a goodbye when we were kids, and I can’t blame her.
Or maybe she’ll recognize the truth.
I haven’t changed at all.

Baited Christmas
Age is Just a Number… Rebecca and Jason are back for a Christmas Novella story.

Take A Chance on Me
Not all guys are jerks.
But the guy that messed up Tiffany’s self-image sure as heck was.
This beautiful, curvy woman has held my imagination captive since the day she started working with me.
I haven’t been with a woman since losing my wife around the holidays, but it’s time to give love a second chance. My son and I are ready to have a family again.
Now I just need to convince her to take a chance on me. It’ll be the best decision of her life.
I’ll make sure of it.

One Winter Night
Snow covers the ground and love is in the air in the southern city of Savannah.
I’ve only recently gotten out of the military, but my best friend’s father gave me a good job at his security firm.
The last person I expected to find working there was my best friend’s little sister – all grown up.
She’s beyond beautiful and such a handful – in more ways than one.
I can’t help but think about what we could be if she would stop being so damn difficult, but it’s part of her charm.
She’s in for the adventure of her lifetime with me, and it’s going to start one winter night soon.

One Shot at Love
Falling for your new boss is the best way to mess with your sanity.
Especially if she has an overprotective brother that happens to be one of my childhood friends.
I should steer clear and just focus on my little boy, but something inside of me is waking up again.
This might be my one shot at love again.
I hope like hell I’m ready for it.

Jaded Christmas
Love is a lie… Kari and Jake are back for a Christmas Novella story.

Bad Boy Bachelor Claus
They want me to pose as Santa this year.
And the media turns it quickly to "Naughty Santa."
Say what? You cannot be serious.
New York’s hottest bachelor is on the hunt, dressed up as Mr. Claus and he’s looking for an elf that’ll hop off the shelf and entertain him.
Just my luck that she’s cute, spicy, and doesn’t put up with me.
The world thinks I’m calling the shots, but they have no idea my little elf has me wrapped around her pointed little finger.

Hey there. I'm Weston.

Have we met? No? Well, that's a shame, but let's fix it.

I'm a former firefighter and EMS guy who traded emergency calls for romance novels. These days, I write stories about bad boys, billionaires, military heroes, and the kind of men who occasionally make questionable decisions before finding their way back to what matters most. Love.

I live in Texas with my wife, our three kids, and enough animals to qualify for a small petting zoo. Life is loud, busy, and wonderfully chaotic, which is probably why I enjoy disappearing into stories where love somehow manages to win in the end.

At the heart of every book I write is the same belief: life can be hard, but a great love story reminds us that hope, healing, forgiveness, and second chances are always worth fighting for. And to put your mind at ease, I don't use any AI in my books. They're all fully flawed and done by humans. No way in hell I'd give my job to a machine when it's the reason I get up in the morning. So put that worry to bed.

Instead, grab your favorite drink, find a comfortable spot, and stay a while. The real world will still be there when you're done.

Until then, welcome to mine.

Christmas boxed set that’s different types of romances. I was drawn in and found what fit my mood. The holiday feels and different emotions and drama around love. Seven novels involving finding love at Christmas. Enough to give one hope, smiles and positivity. *I was given a copy and am voluntarily giving my honest review.

My Holiday Reunion by Weston Parker
This was a soap opera between two covers. With big powerful emotions, lost loves, memory loss, make-believe, and second chances, this book was one hundred percent the text version of a daytime drama. I spent most of this book sawing back and forth between love and hate with both Lina and Cal. There were character traits I loved them for, but there were also times I wanted to shake the pair and yell some sense into their thick skulls. I adored their supporting cast and I want to see them get their happily-ever-afters too.
Baited Christmas by Ali Parker
Take a Chance on Me by Weston Parker
I have an ex who was just as supportive as Tiffany’s. That meant that I really connected to this book. I felt it in my soul every time she thought his hateful words about herself, but her relationship with Cayden gives me hope for the future. I adored Cayden and Austin. They are one of the sweetest father-son duos I ever remember reading. Sure, Cayden behaves like a butt-head before we get to the ending, but that’s also human nature. There are several secondary characters that do their utmost to steal the show and I hope that we get to see the rest of their stories in the future.
One Winter Night by Ali Parker
I love a hero in uniform. Jack checks all the boxes for a perfect book boyfriend to me: strong, handsome, protective. And after seeing what he puts up with on his first job, I can safely add ‘patient’ to that list. Emma’s been overly sheltered by her father and big brother and she’s desperate to show that she’s more than just the pretty face at their reception desk. She’s smart, resourceful, and they’ve taught her how to take care of herself – if only they’d let her. These two make such a fantastic partnership. There’s chemistry sparking off the page from their every encounter. But it just about broke my heart that they both thought the other could do so much better. I waffled between wanting to hug them tight and knocking their heads together. I’m hoping there will be a book for big brother in the future, and maybe even Emma’s dad.
One Shot at Love by Weston Parker
This story surprised me. It’s so much sweeter than I’ve come to expect from the ‘typical’ Weston Parker title. Please, don’t get me wrong, that’s no bad thing. I adored Bailey, and Adam and Ethan. Ian drove me mental at times, but now I hope he gets his own story so that I can see him ‘get his’. I loved watching how this story blends such powerful elements together. From being true to yourself to recovering after the loss of a loved one, this book hits on some really big emotional lessons and does it with the skill and flair that I’ve always found from the authors behind Weston Parker. I can’t wait to read what they bring us next.
Jaded Christmas by Ali Parker
Bad Boy Bachelor Claus by Ali Parker & Weston Parker
Sigh! This was the naughty version of a Hallmark Christmas movie. It’s sweet and sentimental and filled with all the magic and wonder of the holiday season. It’s also more than just a little bit spicy. Tinsley loves Christmas, but for her it’s all about her work. Chadwick has good memories of the holiday and for him it’s all about play. Will these two opposites be able to find common ground in time for their own seasonal miracle? I loved everything about this book. It kept me laughing and it made me “squee!” over the sweetness. There’s even a few of the secondary characters that I’m hoping we’ll see in stories of their own in the future.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

What a great box set that includes seven full length holiday themed romances. Guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit with this great collection of books. Great story lines with characters that will definitely get you in the holiday spirit. A variety of themes but all have the holiday spirits. Drama, secrets, angst, passion and love. Prepare to lose a little sleep because once you start reading you won't be able to start. I read an advance copy via the authors and voluntarily chose to review it.

The Parker's Handsome Holiday Box Set: Christmas Boxset 2022
Ali Parker
1. Jaded: A Christmas Novella
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy book Jaded Christmas: A Christmas Novella by Ali Parker and this review was given freely
A clean synopsis of the last three books in the series, the build-up to Jake's proposal to Kari, and many emotion-filled scenes with the extended families make this a heartwarming holiday novella.
2. Baited Christmas Novella:
5 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy book Baited Christmas Novella: Rebecca and Jason by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
Full of changes for Rebecca and Jason, this is the heartwarming conclusion to their story.
3. Change My Mind:
5 stars
I received a free copy of the seasonal steamy second chance at love novel Change My Mind a Second Chance BFF's Brother Romance: Harper and Chase by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
This is a second chance at love story where good intentions go awry but a big last-minute gesture brings forgiveness, understanding, and love. Focused, slightly obsessive perfectionist hotel CEO Chase Adams get a second chance with his one true love, career-focused merchandising and marketing manager Harper Lincoln when a chance meeting and Harper losing her job at Christmastime place them together in a fast-paced rush to open his new boutique hotel in Vail, Colorado. Complexed and well balance, this seasonal romance contains the family drama of the Adams twins, realistic highly imaginative, and creative characters, a Santa strike, three romances, as well as a rocky romance with a happy ending. The imaginative and inventive characters kept me engaged while the steamy scenes enhanced the story without overshadowing the plot.
18+ is recommended for intimate scenes.
4. One Winter Night:
5 stars
I received a free copy of the steamy December set post-military novel One Winter Night: A Sexy Bad Boy Holiday Novel:12 Sexy Days of Christmas book 1 by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
Fast-paced, suspenseful, and action-packed with touches of steam.
Returning home to Savannah after ten years in the military, former Delta Force operative Jack Walsh experiences nightly nightmares until his first day working for his best friend Matt’s family-owned Shadow Security, where he is reunited with a now grownup Emma Smith who challenges his senses, and patience while evoking his protective instincts.

1. Bad Boy Bachelor Claus: A Billionaire Office Romance Holiday Rom-Com
5 Stars
I received a free copy of the steamy New York set novel Bad Boy Bachelor: A Billionaire Office Romance Holiday Rom-Com: Tinsely and Chadwick by Weston Parker and Ali Parker, and this review was given freely.
A season of change and love, betrayal and forgiveness, and a widower seeking a new beginning. This story contains family and workplace drama, a little playboy jealousy, a heartwarming father-and-son relationship, and a steamy enemy to more romance.
Christmas-loving Bamford’s Office Towers’ event coordinator and design manager Tinsely Miller laments her ruined Christmas plans, her retiring boss Alastair’s playboy son Chadwick Bamford’s relentless teasing and arguments as well as being forced to play an elf to Chadwick’s Santa for the company’s December charity and marketing events until she sees the caring man behind the façade.
2. My Holiday Reunion: 4 Stars
I received a free copy of the steamy novel My Holiday Reunion by Weston Parker and this review was given freely.
Tragic with a happy ending.
Overwhelmed, career-focused, and selfish are just a few of the qualities that spurred single father and Pittsburgh, Pa. attorney Callum Gabriel
to reject his high school girlfriend Lina Nelson on their graduation eve.
But when a chance meeting 15 years later leads to tragedy, Callum’s attraction and desires for the New York model lead to more lies and heartbreak.
18+ for intimate scenes.
3. Take a Chance on Me
3 stars
I received a free copy of the steamy novel Take a Chance on Me by Weston Parker and this review was given freely.
I liked the plot but there were way too many extended intimate scenes, and I found the high quantity of contractions distracting.
One year after emotionally abused Miami magazine fact checker Tiffany Martin’s engagement ends, she questions the attention of her boss, single father Cayden Lewis.
18+ for extended intimate scenes and frank language.
4. One Shot at Love: Not read.

This amazing boxed set includes the following novels: Bad Boy Bachelor Claud, My Holiday Reunion, Baited Christmas, Take a Chance On Me, One Winter Night, One Shot at Love, Jaded Christmas, and Change My Mind.

Bad Boy Bachelor Claus: This is a beautifully written Office Christmas Romantic Comedy. Chadwick and Tinsely's story is sweet, funny, and heartwarming. Chadwick is a ladies' man, rich, handsome, sexy, caring, and charming. Tinsely is lovely, feisty, and smart. They are perfect as Naughty Santa and his Sexy Elf! I liked the slow burn romance, the banter, the flirting, and the sizzling chemistry. The storyline has everything: hilarious scenes, drama, and heartwarming moments! The supporting characters are great. I enjoyed it. This is the perfect Holiday reading! Ali Parker and Weston Parker never disappoint!

Change My Mind: Chase and Harper's second chance to love is funny, sweet, and heartwarming. The supporting characters are great. This is a full length novel, filled with a little angst, ups and downs, and twists and turns. I enjoyed it. I liked the audiobook version of this story, narrated by Joanna Roddy.

I highly recommend this boxed set!

I read/reread the box set from the incredible Ali and Weston Parker, who have demonstrated over and over again why their novels receive top reviews. If you are a first-time reader for this accomplished brother/sister duet, explore their works penned both together and alone; I assure you that you will become a fan of each of their works, which can be read as a stand alone or as a part of a series. This specific set is focused on the theme of Christmas, and all evoke the magic of the season. Curl up on a couch or window seat with a cup of tea or a glass af wine and let the love engulf you.

This is a boxset you can’t miss. Almost 1700 pages of steamy romantic Christmas fun. I re-read most of these books for the second time with this new boxset. One or two I hadn’t read. I spent more then a few hours glued to my kindle. I enjoyed my lazy weekend. This is both brother and sister, Ali and Weston’s books. They are all easy reads but come with enough excitement to keep you happy and this boxset has a Christmas theme in every book to get you into the spirit as December is only a day away. Enjoy.

What better way to have a collection of quality holiday romances than with a box set like this one? I have read several of the stories but would say Bad Boy Bachelor Claus is one of my favorites.

Naughty Santa Claus in a tailored velvet suit was the perfect kind of characterization for a steamy boss/employee romance for the holidays. “Tinsel” and Chad were a fun couple. I enjoyed the story as much as the romance.

I received an advance of the book and this is my voluntary review.

I am a HUGE fan of Weston and Ali Parker’s books. This collection is best of both their writing. The characters are well written, interesting, flawed (Flawed as we all are), sensitive, and good souls. I liked the variety of books. These stories are warm, heartwenching, and feel good. Do yourself a favor and read this collection.

I received this book as an ARC from Bookfunnel for my honest review.

Oh, these Weston’s…

If you are into lying, manipulation, and gaslighting then this book is for you! There is so much lying. I have to wonder what these siblings are like. Is this just normal behavior for them? It’s crazy to me how much lying and manipulation there is and that it’s so easily glossed over and forgotten. Then how the person lied to is made to feel like it wasn’t a big deal and it’s all good now, love - yea! It’s sad, and ugly.

An excellent set of holiday themed romance reads

Weston Parker and Ali Parker have come together to gift the reader with an excellent set of holiday themed romance reads. Callum and Lina took a trip through memory lane and left plenty of tears behind in My Holiday Reunion. Poor Tinsley definitely has her work cut out for her with Chadwick in Bad Boy Bachelor Claus. Bailey more than meets her match in One Shot at Love. There are still a few more couples for me to read about in this great box set.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
