Home for the Holidays: Mr Frosty Pants / Mr Naughty List
The first two books in the Home for the Holidays series!
MR FROSTY PANTS
Frosty former friends get a steamy second chance in this Christmas gay romance!
Can true love warm his frozen heart?
When Casey Stevens went away to college four years ago, he ghosted on his straight best friend, Joel Vreeland. He hoped time and distance would lessen the unrequited affection he felt, but all it did was make him miss Joel more. Home for the holidays, Casey hopes they might find a way to be friends again. But Joel’s frosty reception reminds Casey of just how hard he had to fight to be Joel’s friend in the first place. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to get past that cool façade again.
Joel isn’t as straight as Casey believes, and his years of pining for Casey have left him hurting and alone, caring for his abusive father and struggling to get by. Unable to trust anyone except his rescue dog—and with no reason to believe Casey is interested in him for more than a holiday fling—Joel’s icy heart might shatter before it can thaw.
Can Casey and Joel’s love overcome mistrust, parental rejection, class differences, and four long years apart?
Mr. Frosty Pants is a stand-alone, Christmas gay romance by Leta Blake featuring a virgin hero, childhood friends-to-lovers, second chance romance, and steamy mm first times.
MR NAUGHTY LIST
A cute teacher gets a spanking this Christmas. How hot can it get being on his former student’s Naughty List?
Is Aaron allowed to want a hot holiday fling with his young former student? Even more forbidden, is he allowed to want this student to spank him?
It’s another Christmas, and Aaron is still in the closet as a gay man and a natural submissive. With one youthful indiscretion blacking his ethics record, he can’t afford to indulge his desires no matter how pent up and needy that leaves him.
Until his former student comes home for the holidays.
Dominant and charming, RJ knows what Aaron needs—intense, steamy encounters and a firm hand. As Christmas nears, RJ helps Aaron unlock his true self. But family and fallout await, and all good things must end.
Or can their hot holiday affair turn them into lasting lovers?
Mr. Naughty List is a steamy Christmas MM romance set in the Home for the Holidays series that began with Mr. Frosty Pants, but can be read as a standalone. Featuring hot former student/teacher dynamics, and, of course, warm, sweet holiday feels complete with a strong happy ending.

In this box set we get two wonderful and steamy Christmas novels, they’re both standalones with a happily ever after but the two stories are connected because the main characters are friends. I enjoyed them both very very much and gave them five stars.
The first book, Mr Forsty pants is about Joel and Casey and it is a friends to lovers and second chance romance.
This book isn’t the happiest Christmas book you’ll ever read but if you don’t mind a little bit of angst I would say please read it because it’s so very very steamy and sweet and the characters are so well written. Joel is a pessimist and a frosty pants but it makes sense because he’s had a really hard life. I was able to connect with him instantly, he just stole my heart and I wanted to hug him better. I loved reading his and Casey’s story and I was really rooting for them. They completed each other perfectly. This book warmed my heart.
The second book, Mr. Naughty List, is about RJ and Arron and it’s a former student/teacher romance.
Wow this book was amazing!!! First of all the chemistry between the main two characters was absolutely explosive!! It was so steamy it honestly made me blush. But apart from that it had a really great plot with deep and well developed characters. Characters that I cared for and loved very very much. I completely lost myself in the story, it was perfect.
I can’t pick a favorite between those two books. They were both brilliant in their own way and I had the best time reading them!!

4.5 stars total
Mr. Frosty Pants - 4 stars
Okay, first off Casey’s parents were stuck up snobs for basically the whole book and I couldn’t stand them. Joel's dad was just as bad as a bigoted ass. These two didn’t have the best examples growing up and have at least matured into decent men, even if Joel is a little bit cranky and never opened up to someone before.
I loved how Casey was just able to break down Joel’s walls and was determined to hang on. He does so much good in Joel’s life and finally got the chance to actually be happy. Joel had trouble with accepting that Casey would want to stay but the more he said it the less he believed or wanted Casey leaving.
Mr. Naughty List - 5 stars
Once again we have at least one horrible parent but Aaron's dad and RJ's mom help to makeup for her pompus attitude. Aaron suffered from her upbringing and how to live his life and while RJ's upbringing wasn't the best at the time he has succeed and is working on his relationship with his mom and new family.
I loved that RJ was able to get Aaron to let go and to also see that love doesn't always have to fade. Aaron was ifnally able to see that he is worthy of being loved unlike how his mother made him feel. I enjoyed seeing Joel and Casey again in this book.

These two stories are about finding love on this season and they both are a must read for these Holidays. Even if both books can be read as standalone, both together are a treat because characters of one book appeared on the other helping to built and amazing world. Every story is sweet, intense and emotional and I enjoyed witnessing how each character found their forever after accepting themselves and that everyone deserved love and happiness. Each story is inspiring, simply a life lesson that enlightened our heart for the Holidays specially on these difficult times. A perfect Christmas gift!

I really liked these two stories, they were perfect.
Mr. Frosty Pants was a cute second chance friends to lovers story. I loved Joel and Casey, I wanted to give Joel a hug to make him not so angsty. This book was angsty but also so sweet and so very steamy. This story just made me happy.
Mr. Naughty List is a former teacher/ student story about RJ and Aaron. I really loved this story too. There is so much chemistry between the two of them and the story is wonderful. I loved how steamy this book was. This book just made me really happy.
I liked both books, but I definitely like Mr. Naughty List best, though both get 5 stars. I absolutely recommend this collection of books.

Holiday romance
Both of these stories were great. Love from the past, having your dreams or fantasies come true. Especially in your hometown were you never thought it possible.

Oh so sweet
I loved both of these stories so very much. Low angst, lots of sex, and a happy ever after. Would've loved a story about each member of the band.
