While I'm familiar with A/B/O, MPREG and shifters, this is my first time reading a story featuring any of them. I really enjoyed this book, as well as Malcolm and Tobias' chemistry. They are perfect for each other and realize it from the off, even if it takes a matchmaker for them to figure it out. Funny, charming and downright adorable at times, this cute romance can be enjoyed any time of the year.

this Christmas shifter tale. Especially that it takes place in the world of the Moore characters!
Tobias is a hard omega to work with and by company regulations has to, basically, be babysat by an alpha as his work isn't trusted. Enter Malcom. He's moved away from his family's farm to make it in the tech world. What was only supposed to be a stepping stone becomes a 2/3 year stop. Looking after Tobias in every way apart from that of a partner becomes a big part of Malcolm's life but he takes the step to use a match making service to help find his true match. Unbeknownst to him, he's set up by the service with Tobias. Both agree to go ahead with the date as it's already set up and paid for but neither anticipate the reaction they have to each other.
Becoming closer over the following weeks and Tobias' family drama leads to them spending "quality time" together that both enjoy but cannot commit to as it is completely against the rules at work. Things never go to plan though....
Love the characters in this story. Tobias may be hard to work with but he just doesn't put up with bull like omega's are mostly known to do. Malcolm end up truly taking care of Tobias on a daily basis even before they get closer and it's a great way of showing care. Tobias' family, especially his niece are wonderful and bring them together over Christmas not liking that Malcolm would have spent the time alone. Buzz and Julian from Love You Moore are involved as Malcolm's support and give him friendship and advice throughout.
The outcome should make everyone happy, with their family and work lives but also setting out characters for a possible next couple.
I love the setting, completely adore the Moore universe already, and welcome the addition of shifters to this world. I've got my fingers crossed for more in the future!

A true feel good and comfort read, I loved Tobias and Malcolm along with the ABO dynamic it was rather different from the usual which I adored. Mal is so sweet and I enjoyed his pov the most, he has some great friends and the way he treats Tobias is adorable. Tobias I thought was amazing and I especially admired his first scene/reputation, Mal and his first meeting was definitely interesting.
The ending is lovely and brings everything together, i liked the family scenes especially Betsy and in general the character building is so good here from the minor to major cast everyone stood out.
Overall a sweet read, that just made me smile so much over these two and Christmas feels all around. True mates and a HEA.
