Christmas Valley Shifters #1

Their Omega Partridge in a Pear Tree

Rate this book
Sometimes the best gifts aren’t delivered by Santa…

Alpha Chane agrees to take over Wynter Hallow’s Annual Christmas Show when his predecessor retired. How hard could it be? This isn’t Broadway or anything. He soon discovers the nearly impossible. But Chane refuses to give up; the yearly event is too important to his small-town community to let it fail.

Alpha Pax hates seeing his mate, Chane, stressing about the annual Christmas show, but, as the local florist, he doesn’t really have the skills needed to be much help. He can bring in some poinsettias and wreaths to decorate, but that is about it. That is until he befriends a partridge in the woods and gets an idea.

Omega and partridge shifter Beacon is brand new in town. He hasn’t even unpacked yet, and he’s already being bombarded with invites to all the Christmas festivities. Apparently the holiday is a really big deal in Wynter Hallow locals even call it Christmas Valley. He’s all set with that. Christmas is far from Beacon’s favorite time of year. He’ll just keep to himself until the season passes. Or so he thinks.

When a sweet alpha Beacon’s partridge recognizes as his mate finds him during a shift, Beacon lets the man take him home, unsure what else to do. It isn’t until they arrive that he realizes that he doesn’t have just one mate—he has two, and they both are human. Merry Christmas to him?

Their Omega Partridge in a Pear Tree is a sweet with knotty heat M/MM Mpreg Christmas romance featuring a small town holiday show gone awry, the alpha who tries to direct the disaster, an alpha set designer who has ideas grander than his budget, an omega partridge shifter who somehow winds up in the middle of it all —and in the middle of the two alphas, but he’s not complaining about that part-delicious cocoa, enough cookies for the entire town, meggs, a visit from Santa, the cutest dog you ever did meet, an adorable baby, and a hea so sweet you might need a dentist when all is said and done. If you like your omegas strong, your alphas hawt, and your mpreg with heart, download Their Omega in a Pear Tree by the popular co-writing team of Wendy Rathbone and Lorelei M. Hart today.

Some Christmas things happen

This is a nice light book, but it is sadly also very boring.

Chane and Pax have been together for years, two alphas in love. Apparently they had some strife getting together because of their pairing, but we don't see any of that. The two are happy together despite their sometimes busy and stressful work lives. One night Pax finds a partridge who wanders right up to him and takes the little bird home. When that bird unexpectedly shifts into a human omega, Beacon, they are all quite taken with each other. And so they get together, the end.

Really, that isn't the end, but it could have been. This is pretty much just a 'this is what happened' story. They meet, they fall into insta-love, they move in, they throw and amazing Christmas show together, they have the best Christmas, they have sex all the time (like all the time at the beginning, I couldn't figure out how they were all getting away from work), and then they have a family. Hooray! It's not bad, it's just boring because everything is so easy. So Beacon is a shifter and they didn't know those were real- no big deal, they're in love! So the small town Christmas show is a big deal, that's fine they run it perfectly! So Beacon hated Christmas, he loves it the second he meets his mates! Everything is automatically solved and easy, they talk and decide things instantly, and every is just a smooth excellent time. While this can happen it does make for a truly boring read and a book that felt like it had nothing to it.

Pax and Chane are married not realizing they are missing something. Chane is in charge of the holiday talent show and stressing. Pax is the local florist and his biggest supporter.
Pax while out on a walk happens to come across a partridge and he brings it home. Beacon is a shifter and new to town.
This is a low angst read, with insta-love and a HEA for all three.

This is a fun insta love story. It begins with the alpha couple Chane and Pax. While unusual enough, Pax finds a partridge in the woods and brings him home. Little does he know, the partridge is the omega shifter Beacon. He has just moved to Wynter Hallow for work. Beacon immediately knows that Pax is his mate and remains in animal form. When Chane comes home Beacon is surprised that the fates have granted him another mate. The only problem is that they are both human and married to each other. When Beacon shifts back to human he is caught by Chane and Pax. Luckily for him, shifters they both were told stories about shifters and take it well. That is the start for them to decide about their relationship. This is their story. It is well written and easy to read. I loved how they included each other in everything. Including giving one on one time and throuple time. Chane, Pax and Beacon have great chemistry together. You will become immersed in Christmas Valley and all the fun holiday events that they do together. I enjoyed this book.

I didn't want this story to end! Chane and Pax, are married alpha mates and deeply in love. Chane, finds himself gently moved to Direct the Wynter Hallow festival since the previous Director left town. Chane realizes he's in over his head and becomes a bit flustered. Pax hates to see his mate so overwhelmed, but recognizes he doesn't ahve the skill set to assist. Beacon, is an omega partridge shifter new to town. He is welcomed and invited to participate in the holiday festivities. Beacon, usually avoids the holidays, but this time it's not so easy. Pax finds Beacon in shifted form and takes him home. Beacon recognizes his mate, then gets deperessed when he sees the wedding ring. Snickerdoodle, Pax's and Chane's dog, LOVE Beacon's partridge. How does Beacon reveal himself? Will Chane and Pax love human Beacon as much as they love partridge Beacon? Absolutely delightful! Chane, Pax and Beacon are delightful. The town helped. Great story! Well done!

Sweet insta-love Christmas story

Chane and Pax are happily married alphas. Beacon is a new resident to Wynter Hallow and isn't a huge fan of Christmas. During a free moment to let his shifter side out, Beacon bumps into Pax. Pax takes the partridge home and he and Chane welcome the bird into their family. I loved how Beacon revealed himself to the couple. And the chemistry between the three is off the charts. It was sweet that Beacon wanted to go on traditional dates to get to know his mates. I also liked that meeting his mates brought out his Christmas spirit. Pax, Chane, and Beacon easily integrate into each other's lives. The talent show was fun, although very stressful to our sweet Chane. But he had his mates to help and cheer him on. This was a fun, insta-love Christmas book.

Chane and Pax are married human alphas. They are happy with their life and jobs. Chane is a handyman and a leader for the town while Pax is a successful florist. This holiday season things are stressful. Not only is it one of Pax's busiest times of the year but Chane has been talked into organizing this year Holiday talent show. Chane is in way over his head. One day when Pax was out for a walk, he sees a cute partridge who seems very interested in him. It appears that the partridge understands everything Pax says and willingly goes home with him. When Chane sees the partridge, he is fascinated too. Later that night the two get a big shock when their pet partridge turns into a human omega who declares that they are all destined mates.

Your mate is straight out of a Christmas carol. How magical is that!

What a unique and totally Christmas story! It sit me up from page one. A town that is all about Christmas. More cookies than you can imagine. Cheesy references to holiday movies. Fur babies named Snickerdoodle and Snowdrop. A Christmas talent show. A fantastic snowman. And don't forget the partridge not in a pear tree. Ooh, and a nesting scene you will remember. Cone. Join alphas Chane and Pax as they find their fated third, an omega partridge named Beacon. This is a real feel-good book full of laughter, love and yes, sexy times. You are just gonna fall in love with this book. Get. It. Now!

These three knew they were destined for one another and didn't waste any more time than necessary.

Chane and Pax were two married alphas, who thought their circle was complete until they met their omega, Beacon. His name says it all; hope, love, completeness, fulfillment.
When Beacon moved to a new town, he never planned to meet his mate, let alone two of them. Wynter Hallow changed all of their lives for the better.

One lovingly fast-paced, steamy, balanced blend of a family in the making - including Snickerdoodle and Snowdrop.

Lovely shifter romance story for Chane, Pax, and Beacon. Chane and Pax are married alpha mates, whose alpha-alpha relationship might be non-traditional, but the pair share a strong bond with one another. Partridge shifter Beacon is new in town and during a shift bumps into Pax who takes him home. Beacon is surprised that he has not one, but two human mates who are also surprised about his shifting abilities but readily accept their relationship with him. The romance and dynamics are really fun in this story as the little family grows larger. Easy read as Chane, Pax and Beacon explore their relationship and the joyous holiday season together.

I loved this adorable and sweet, low-angst, fated mates Christmas read. I always enjoy unique pairings. In this case we have a mating trio, with two human alphas and an omega partridge shifter. I loved how easily humans Chane and Pax accepted and acknowledged that Beacon was a shifter AND their mate. Beacon wasn't a big fan of Christmas, but his new mates and the community of Wynter Hallow (aka Christmas Valley) helped bring out his Christmas spirit. Fun, sexy story that looks to be the start of a new series.

I love reading stories from these two authors. They bring both cute and hot sexy alphas and omegas right to the pages of my kindle. Chane and Pax are human Alpha mates who are very happy together, it’s only when Pax brings home an omega partridge shifter home that they realise they were missing a part of their family. Join these three while they learn more about their relationship and their family together, especially when they have a beautiful baby to fill their lives.

A Hot-Cocoa-Sweet MMM Mpreg Romance

Beacon is new in town, and a bit grinch-y about Christmas. Pax and Chane have happily married for years and they love living in Winter Hallow, affectionately called Christmas Valley because of its extensive holiday celebrations. These three are - surprise! - mates, and their throuple union is super duper sweet. I found this book to be just so darn sweet, just like a Hallmark movie, but with shifters and only men of course. A lovely and sweet (did I say sweet already?) holiday romance.

This book is amazing! Beacon is a partridge shifter who isn’t very fond of Christmas. Until he moves to Wynter Hallow. There he will find not just one mate but two - in Pax and Chane. He will encounter Pax one evening in his bird form and their lives will never be the same. They will have a wonderful journey to their happily ever after that will include a talent show, numerous holiday events around town and not one but two adorable dogs who need all the love.

Chane and Pax were married and in love didn’t know that they needed an other one. Chane was trying to set up the annual Christmas talent show when Pax found a partridge coming to him and brought it to their home. Even though they were human they weren’t shocked when Beacon turned to his human form and felt the pull to him. Beacon had just moved there and they became a package deal. Good book!.

I loved Their Omega Partridge in a Pear Tree by Lorelei M. Hart and Wendy Rathbone. It's the first book in the Christmas Valley Shifters series. I loved Chane, Pax, and Beacon's story. I loved their chemistry, their hot scenes, and how much Christmas merriment there was. I loved Noelle and how they planted a pear tree with pieces of her shell surrounding the tree roots.

I liked that Chane and Pax are a long established couple. Finding Beacon has them both opening their hearts and home to him. I love that there is no angst, just lots and lots of love and Christmas cheer. All three of the guys are so generous to those around them; helping others at every turn. Each addition to their family circle made them so happy. The ending was perfect.

I was feeling restles and having a hard time getting into a book so I decided to see if reading a Christmas book in October would help. I can definitely still feel a bit of a book funk but this sweet read was an enjoyable break. Nothing overly complex and pretty insta-lovey but still entertaining enough to hold my attention.

This was cavity inducingly sweet. If you enjoy books with no drama and smooth sailing relationships with insta everything, you’ll like this one. I did, I just didn’t connect with the story or the characters. I think this could have been way shorter than it was. The author tried to make this a “finding your holiday spirit” story, but it lacked commitment and depth in my opinion.

Their Omega Partridge

This was a sweet and slightly steamy romance between two married alphas, and the partridge shifter they “find” in the woods. It’s an instant fated mate love story, but they are a cute family with a sweet HEA.
