A review by serenityfire
His Christmas Pride by Renée Dahlia

4.0

This is a short, sweet MM romance with two heroes trying to move past painful previous relationships. Sam is a sweet hearted good who is easy to love, and Mick is a sexy paramedic who is working through is issues. The characters have great chemistry, and I loved that we got to see them click both in chat online and in real life.

The book deals with overcoming past emotional domestic abuse, which would be triggering for some readers. But I think the author handled it well.

I have not read the other stories in the series yet, but this book included an interesting set of characters and a town that makes me want to read more.The story is set in Australia, which was fun. I had to remember that Christmas is in summer there. There is some lovely time in the scenery. It made me want to spend more time in the story.

The one problem I had is there was basically no Christmas in this novella. It is referenced in the first chapter, but then it is gone. I wish it had a different title that better represented the story.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book from the publisher and Net Galley in return for a fair review.
