Double-Booked for the Holidays
Leo in Lace: Double-Booked for the Holidays Series
Leo
I love my friend group to pieces, even if there are a few drama-llamas in the bunch. This year has been a bit much though, between hearing about their constant relationship woes and party planning calamities and dealing with my own workplace catastrophies. Taking a break to refresh and recharge seemed like the perfect plan, until I arrived at the cabin I’d booked for one to find two snow leopards cuddling on the bed.
Maverick
Another year and no mate in sight. It’s not that I haven’t looked, I’ve tried matchmakers and even a few online dating sites that resulted in some frustrating and occasionally embarrassing hookups that left me smarting after they ghosted me. All my efforts have landed me was more chastisment from my folks who can’t stop wishing I’d be more like my older siblings. If it wasn’t for Briar’s brilliant idea for a little getaway, my outlook for this holiday season would have been worse than last years.
Briar
Booking a holiday retreat for me and my best friend has plenty of benefits, including the obvious ones. While we’ve never had mating marks appear on our skin, neither of us can picture ourselves with anyone else, no matter how much our families protest the break from tradition. Booking it in a snowy paradise, well that’s just a bonus when you’re both snow leopards. At least until our cabin for two turns out to be a cabin for three.
Double-booked for the Holidays is a multi-author mpreg shared setting Christmas series. The winter holidays are hard on single shifters. Instead of going home to yet another barrage of "why haven't you found your mate yet" questions, some prefer to book lodging and ride out their depressing time off between Christmas and New Year's.
Except this year, their cabins are double-booked with unsuspecting humans.

About the author
Layla Dorine
114 books210 followersLAYLA DORINE lives among the sprawling prairies of Midwestern America, in a house with more cats than people. She loves hiking, fishing, swimming, martial arts, camping out, photography, cooking, and dabbling with several artistic mediums. In addition, she loves to travel and visit museums, historic, and haunted places.
Layla got hooked on writing as a child, starting with poetry and then branching out, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Hard times, troubled times, the lives of her characters are never easy, but then what life is? The story is in the struggle, the journey, the triumphs and the falls. She writes about artists, musicians, loners, drifters, dreamers, hippies, bikers, truckers, hunters and all the other folks that she’s met and fallen in love with over the years. Sometimes she writes urban romance and sometimes its aliens crash landing near a roadside bar. When she isn’t writing, or wandering somewhere outdoors, she can often be found curled up with a good book and a kitty on her lap.

I really loved this one.
I think what I liked most about this was how far the author took it. What amazing families they have. I forgot about the title until it was revealed. That’s how into it I got.

Leo escapes to a quiet cabin after a chaotic year, only to discover it’s already occupied — by two snow leopard shifters, Maverick and Briar. Maverick is exhausted by failed attempts to find a mate and constant pressure from his family, while Briar, his best friend and would‑be partner, has planned a peaceful holiday getaway for the two of them. But when their cabin is accidentally double‑booked with a human, the three men are thrown together in an unexpected holiday mix‑up. Double‑Booked for the Holidays is part of a multi‑author mpreg series where single shifters avoid family scrutiny by escaping to winter retreats… only to find their cabins shared with unsuspecting humans.
This is a sweet, quick read with a definite instalove vibe, but it left me wishing for a bit more depth. The connection between the characters sparks fast and brightly, yet the story moves so quickly that their emotions and inner worlds don’t get the space they deserve. It’s charming and cosy for what it is — a brief holiday escape — but the feelings come on so suddenly that I found myself wanting more detail, more build‑up, and more time with the characters to really feel their bond. This was an MMM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

This is the first book I read by this author and really enjoyed it.
It's a perfect MMM Christmas romance with a one-bed scenario, fated mates and shifters.
Mav and Briar are such great guys, loving each other and hating that they aren't mates. An escape over Christmas from their worrying families and the chance to spend the days in fur (adorable snow leopards, so cute). The mix-up and double-booking of their cabin is the best thing which will happen as fate delivers their mate as a nicely wrapped Christmas present.
Leo's plan to spend Christmas alone is not working the moment he steps into his cabin. But realising that there are a) shifters and b) he is their mate is something he really embraces.
These three have plenty of chemistry, are cush a cute triad and the story just flows nicely. I could hardly out the book down.
The description of Briar and Mav in their shifted form is really good to visualise, just think of a cat loving to play in the snow.
I also love that the book doesn't stop with them bonding and Christmas over, the last 1/3 is bringing the story really well to the end and showing their future.

This is cute but ..idk.
There’s no conflict after they find out they’re all mates. So not a lot happens besides them getting together. So I got a lil bored. It was also kinda hard to tell the characters apart sometimes, as there’s very little character descriptions in the story. And the formatting of the dialogue could be a bit weird.
The conversations are also a bit long winded at times and over the top. With long run on sentences. Nobody talks out loud like that 😅 and some of the convos were just kinda random. It needed more editing overall. Also, it was a little disappointing their first double heat as mates was mostly skipped over..

Unputdownable!!
Oh!! Emm!! Gee!! Fantabulous!!
Leo booked a vacation cabin, but when he entered it, looks like someone left a lot in it. Then he finds the cutest stuffed snow
leopard pair in the middle of the bed! At least he thought they were fake until one of them opened an eye and looked at him!!! Yikes!!

Double-Booked
Awwww this was a very sweet story about two snow leopards who find their mate. Leo is human and is on vacation. He gets checked into his room and discovers two beautiful cats on his bed. Imagine his surprise when he books one on the nose and it opens its eyes!
Loved this story. Highly Recommended

Cute
Don't read many shifter romances but came across this and synopsis sounded cute and light like I was looking for and it definitely was. Good way to spend a few hours. I couple things confused me but still overall I really liked it. So glad Briar and Maverick found their missing piece and got to be together like they knew was meant to be, Leo was the perfect mate for them.

Now this is what I can call a perfect triad holiday romance. This story had all the fun and feels I want with a triad but tend to lose once the plot gets plotting. Maverick & Briar have been besties for as long as they can remember, they knew they were mates, yet their mate bond never appeared. They decide to take a holiday away from family to just enjoy themselves, when Leo enters into their lives to make their bond complete. Leo is on holiday to relax and just enjoy time away from the stress of the real world, when he falls into the orbit of Maverick & Briar, he brings the balance that these two have always needed to work and function long term Layla is proving they are one of the authors who is able to seamlessly take a couple to a throple, without an imbalance. This story is one of pure joy and holiday magic of three goofballs finding a way to make their lives perfect.

DNF. I got tired of trying to tell one shifter from the other… Not a lot of angst to the story, so once the MCs figure out the situation, it seems pretty dull. Needs another editor pass?: some of the sentences read a bit tortured…
