Curtis didn’t expect to meet his mate while he was face-first and naked in the snow. He supposed he hadn’t exactly met Manuel that way, since he’d been unconscious, but that was probably not the best first impression. Manuel wasn’t sure what to do with the naked, gorgeous man, but he took him home—and Curtis ran away. But now small gifts have started appearing on Manuel’s doorstep, and he knows they’re from Curtis. With Christmas looming so close and Manuel’s mood being so dark because of his mother’s recent death, he’s not sure what to do about it—or about Curtis. Curtis seems to be intent on gently pushing his way into Manuel’s life, though, and Manuel doesn’t exactly mind.
Catherine is the creator of several series, most of them paranormal, including the Whitedell Pride Series and the Gillham Pack Series. While she graduated in translation, she decided to go the writer’s way because it was more fun to create her own stories and characters. She’s been living in Italy for more than twenty years, but she’s a daughter of the North—Belgium to be precise—and she misses it so much that she’s already planning to move back. She loves pizza—probably too much —her pets, and of course, books. She sneaks some reading time in her schedule every time she has five minutes free from writing, demands from her various pets and son, and lastly, housework.
I love shifter stories and especially ones with animals rarely used in them so I had super high hopes with this one. I am thrilled that the author fulfilled my hopes and then some. Absolutely LOVED these two MCs, both were totally awesome. Also loved Curtis' family and can't wait for the remaining 6 books to be released in this series!!!!
This was so sweet and very imaginative. I enjoyed both Curtis (and his loving family) and Manuel and I loved the way that Curtis gave him twelve gifts for Christmas with the last gift being the truth about himself (I just love swans). This touched my heart and I found it to be a very delightful story. =)
A great Christmas story with unique characters and a great storyline. I liked the fresh take on the theme used in this book and enjoyed reading it a lot!
Really Cute Story. I loved how it followed the theme of the 12 days of Christmas. It was sweet. Catherine Lievens did a wonderful job. Great holiday story.
