Not So Silent Night (The Kings: A Treemendous Christmas Book 1)

I'm not sure exactly where the location of this story is supposed to be set. The King's Security Offices are in Florida, in a town called Winterhaven, so... I know the town of Winter Haven...I was born and grew up in Florida...but this Winterhaven (note different spelling) wouldn't need to be reached by air, and it certainly wouldn't have snow!

Anyway, that unimportant bit aside, this was a short little gem of a story featuring all the King's Security bunch. Billionaire Colton Connolly, the CEO of Knight's Security wants a traditional white Christmas, so he gathers his husband, the rest of the men and the dogs and flies off to Winterhaven to fulfill that dream. From the time they arrive nothing is exactly what it should have been. A show more winter storm has damaged the little town, especially the Ice Palace, the biggest draw for tourist for the town. This isn't going to deter Colton from fulfilling his dream...it's Christmas and IT'S GOING TO BE A WHITE ONE, darn it!!! He sets the men working with their various talents on repairing the town...and he and one of the others along with the dog set out to acquire a Christmas tree...not just any old Christmas tree...oh no. This will be a 10-ft CHRISTMAS WONDER!!!

Now our Colton processes many, many talents, but he has never used an axe in his entire life. After finding this wonderful tree...he has to be sure that it isn't "occupied" by any forest residents. He climbs the branches and finds there is indeed one resident, and it IS NOT a "happy camper"...Colton meets the tree-resident, a squirrel...a squirrel that has every intention of remaining in his chosen domain and proceeds to rid his tree and his forest of this two-legged intruder...the two-legged "thing" that doesn't even have a tail!!! All's well that ends well even though Colton's and his ego do come out a bit on the bruised side.

Charlie Cochet has managed to squeeze so much joy, love, goodwill and humor into these 140 pages. Even if you don't particularly care for the M/M romance genera...you will certainly appreciate this little Christmas treasure. I certainly did and hey... it's not even October yet:) I'm on to the next one Sleigh It Isn't So. show less
