" 'You don't have to do this alone if you don't want to. Everything you've ever wanted is right in front of you. You just have to be brave enough to take it.' "
OUT DEC 31st.
Santa's Baby, a short and sweet novella in Bex's Carnal Expectations series, follows the relationship of Nico and Tinsley. Tinsley, a pregnant running away from the baby daddy, runs straight into a new town, full of charming and caring folks. That take care of her, that care about her, despite just a recent meeting.
I am absolutely obsessed with their relationship, from the moment Nico sees Tinsley asleep on Candy's couch to the time jump a year later. My heart goes out to both of them, and seeing them heal together? It's truly a Christmas miracle, like Tinsley says.
I think Nico is my favorite of the Carnal Expectations guys, followed closely by Logan.
Do be wary of triggers going into this series.
