The Smutketeers Present...A Kinky Christmas Carol #2
Not So Tiny Tim
Blinded to the Present...Avoiding the Future...Running from the Past
The Smutketeers Present: A Kinky Christmas Carol!
The Knight Family is a wealthy, powerful Chicago clan that knows everything there is to know about making money—but they have plenty to learn about love. In this three series novella—Eden Bradley's Getting Scrooged, Robin L Rotham's Not So Tiny Tim and R.G. Alexander's Marley in Chains—you’ll meet Holly Knight, her nephew Tim, and her cousin Marley Knight-Williams as they face their ghosts, fulfill their fantasies and finally discover the magic of Christmas.
Avoiding the future…
Video game mogul, philanthropist and heir to the Knight empire, Tim Crichton has three F-zones—the friend zone, the family zone, and the, er… fun-buddy zone. No crossover is allowed because it might create a fourth—the forever zone—and Tim knows forever just isn’t in the cards for him.
Miranda Girard has always known she and Tim were meant to be together, but when she got tired of waiting and made a move, he rejected her. Now it’s time for their Christmas reunion dinner and she’s damn well going to put on a happy face and attend—after she stops at the bar for a little liquid courage.
Peter Vaughn can’t wait for his new house to be finished so he can move out of Tim’s apartment—living with a man he wants and can’t have gets old quick. But work on the house has ground to a halt and he’s stuck there until after the new year.
It all seems hopeless until a jolly old doorman nudges Peter and Miranda together, and a little Christmas magic quickly escalates to a scorching holiday encounter that will either rescue Tim from a lonely future…or cost him the two most important people in his life.

Before picking up the A Kinky Christmas Carol anthology, I hadn’t really heard of Robin L. Rotham, so I had no idea what to expect from her writing. I’m very pleased to say that I ended up loving Not So Tiny Tim. It was a hot, fun, quick read that was equal parts sweet and super sexy. The love scenes are so scorching, I thought my eReader might go up in flames.;-) But at the same time, they, and the story in general, expressed an emotional connection that’s not always easy to find in erotic romance. Not to mention, unlike the first novella in the series, the menage in this one is a permanent one, which was more to my liking. So, ultimately, I thoroughly enjoyed the few hours I spent reading this novella.
Tim, the subject of the title (I’ll leave it to the reader’s imagination as to why he’s called that ;-)), is the nephew of Holly, the heroine of the first novella in the series, Getting Scrooged. He’s a successful video game developer, who as part of the Knight clan, is familiar with the trappings of wealth. However, he hasn’t really been living life. He keeps everyone he knows in carefully organized compartments: family, friend, or f*ck-buddy, and the last two never, ever overlap. Therefore, despite being in love with them both, he keeps his long-time best friend, Miranda, and his college buddy and current roommate, Peter, solidly relegated to the friend-zone. That all changes when a little magic brings Miranda and Pete together, making Tim long to join in. When we discover his reasons for keeping them at arm’s length all this time, it’s a very emotional moment that made me a little teary-eyed.
Miranda is a sweetheart, a scientist who’s been friends with Tim since they were teenagers and has loved him from afar for thirteen years. It was totally adorable that she’d saved herself for him all that time, while hoping against hope that someday he would see her as more than just a friend. But having heard about Tim’s size and kinkiness, she’s also adventurous enough to have prepared herself for those things and is eager to take everything that both Tim and Peter can dish out. Miranda is a very loving heroine who’s accepting of both men and doesn’t hesitate to engage in all sorts of sex play with them. She also knows almost instantly that she wants a future with them both when the opportunity presents itself.
Ever since a close intimate encounter in college, Peter has been attracted to his friend, but he knows Tim’s rule about not mixing friends and sex. He just doesn’t know why. Peter has spent the last several months living with Tim while the new house he designed for himself is being built, which has only deepened his feelings for Tim. Like Tim, Pete is bisexual, so when he finds the pretty Miranda at a bar, pining for Tim and reluctant to go to his Christmas celebration after having thrown herself at him with disastrous results, Pete offers to accompany her. Both of them hope it might make Tim jealous enough to do something about it. Pete is a Dom who isn’t totally overbearing, so I could appreciate how he gently pushes both Miranda and Tim outside their comfort zones and won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Although he only marginally knew Miranda before meeting her in the bar, he’s totally into her from that very second, so there was never a doubt in my mind that he deeply cared about her too.
While their personalities don’t necessarily reflect classic geekiness, all three characters respective professions certainly suggest that they are, and I must say, these are three of the sexiest geeks I’ve ever read about.;-) I loved how both Miranda and Pete were long-time friends with Tim. It made the connection deeper and much more believable, because of their shared history. Since the story only takes place over a coupe of day’s time, Pete and Miranda’s feelings for each other develop very quickly, but I could definitely feel a connection there too. Tim’s long-held stubbornness about not becoming intimate with friends is pretty quickly overcome as well, so there were admittedly things in the story that easily might not have worked for me. However, the doorman, Frost, a common character in this series, who looks suspiciously like Santa Claus and has magical powers, brought a heartwarming flavor to the story and helped to make the short time span not as much of an issue. In the end, it seems that they were all fated to get together. Whatever it was about this novella, it undeniably hit a sweet spot for me, because I ended up loving it. This may have been my first read by Ms. Rotham, but I’ll definitely be taking a look at more of her work in the future.
Note: This book contains explicit language and sexual situations, including spicy M/F and M/M interactions, as well as a M/F/M menage, talk of sex toys, a little bondage, mild dominant behavior, and anal sex, which some readers may find offensive.

Four and a half stars
Not So Tiny Tim by Robin L. Rotham is the second in the Smutketeers naughty Christmas trilogy. Tim Knight Crichton knows two of his best friends have feelings for him. But because he's got some deeply held secrets, he's always kept his personal relationships firmly categorized, and none of those categories includes "forever."
Miranda Girard has loved Tim for years,maybe since they were teens. She knows he's been a player, and a committed one, but she's always thought that one day she'd change all that. But she laid her heart on the line for him, and he flat out told her no. She's crushed, but determined to hold her head up high and carry on.
Peter Vaughn? He's been friends with Tim for ages, too. He and Miranda have a passing acquaintance, but it doesn't take him much to see that Miranda's got it bad for Tim. And while Tim might vehemently deny it, he's got more than friendly feelings for Ms. Girard. So when he sees Miranda steeling herself before their gang's Christmas get-together, he offers to help bolster her courage that night by acting as her date. Interestingly, they hit it off spectacularly, and hm... This Christmas might find them *all* getting exactly what they wished for...
Ms. Rotham does an excellent job with this novella--I have always loved friends-to-lovers stories, and this one is both blazingly hot and emotionally satisfying. Give yourself a treat no matter what time of year it is and add this to your bookshelf!

Heir to the Knight empire, Tim, has his friends, family and fuck buddies but he definitely doesn't do committed relationships. That is why he keeps both Miranda and Peter firmly in the friend zone. But Tim gets a rude awakening when Miranda and Peter hook up together and he realises that he wants both of them in his bed. But he's got a big secret in his past which he thinks makes him no good for them. Can they convince him otherwise? Or will he lose them both?
Not So Tiny Tim was my favourite story from the A Kinky Xmas Carol box set, I really enjoyed it. The sex scenes are fantastic, but there was more to this book than that. There is a great storyline, interesting characters and plenty of emotion. It's a fairly short read, but it still packs a punch. Five stars!

"Not So Tiny Tim" by Robin L. Rotham is the delightfully spicy novella that features Tim Crichton, who has a reputation as a player and Miranda Girard, who has loved Tim for what seems forever but never seems to attract Tim's attention the way she would like. Peter Vaughn is temporarily rooming with Tim but never expects to finally act on his attraction to him, let alone becoming involved with Miranda. Tim is reluctant to allow these two people to get closer to him but he can't fight the attraction, catalyzed by catching them in the middle of a very kinky scene. They have to find a way to convince him to follow his heart and get past his fears.
The erotic novellas in this trilogy were so much fun to read, providing heat for the holidays and sweet stories. "Not So Tiny Tim" gave a poignant twist to remind us that it is difficult to know a person's motivations unless one is occupying his or her shoes, so to speak. Tim's reputation as a bedhopper keeps those he loves at a distance and it takes the surprising change in Peter and Miranda's dynamic to force him to re-evaluate his own stance. It was intriguing to see the shift in family relations from the views presented in "Getting Scrooged" and "Marley in Chains" because I had an entirely different impression of Tim from those two novellas. I think that all three authors did a fantastic job of providing a great read and I certainly hope that they come back to tell more tales of these characters...maybe for Valentine's Day, hmm?

First off, I must address the title. Genius!! Anyway, this book is by an author I haven't read a lot by but this one certainly makes me want to start to read more! The writing was fluid and the characters had just the right amount of flaws to keep me reading more....I loved it!
Tim is, to be honest, a little bit of a douche. He knows how both his best friends feel about it, even feels the same back, but in his fear of wrecking their friendship, he sticks them firmly in the "friends to never sleep with category". The twist makes this decision make a little more sense, but it still was quite frustrating.
When Peter and Miranda hook up (yes, it starts because they want to make him jealous and then gets a little out of hand), he is so jealous that he puts all his long held beliefs and joins them for one evening of fantasy sex. He watches as Peter tops the innocent Miranda and then allows him to force him to submit to. It was so HOT! Of, course this all convinces the lovely Peter that they all belong together (He was very yummy....ice-skating date anyone??)
The only thing that bothered me about this tale was Miranda. There was something that bugged me and I think it was that her actions didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Nevertheless, the scenes with them all together were incredibly hot and made the whole tale worth reading!

*See related reviews for Getting Scrooged and Marley in Chains*
Now we get to meet Tim, Holly's nephew. Here is a man who knows what he wants and tells you. But don't get too attached to him because he is all about fun with no entanglements! Once again the mysterious Mr. Frost makes many appearances. There is something in Tim's past that keeps him from letting anyone get too close. (not gonna tell you what, just go read it) Miranda finally gets up enough nerve to lay it on the line and she is rejected. Mutual friend Peter steps in and the results are not what anyone imagined.
Tim is a player. But he is upfront and never pretends to be anything other than what he is. I wanted to kill him. Stubborn man, ready to throw away his chance at happiness. I ached for poor Miranda, but not for long because once Peter enters the picture I was in love! I don't know where these authors get these ideas but I am damn glad that they do! As I dove into the second installment of this kinky X-mas tale, I was just tickled at how they were twisting this classic tale into a modern day kink fest. The romantic twists and turns kept my attention and made me want more!
*deep breath* And onto the final installment in this holiday fantasy.

Not So Tiny Tim is a Christmas novella that doesn't shout "CHRISTMAS!" at you. Not that I have anything against holiday-themed romances, I just don't get them, especially, so I like the subtle handling of the theme here.
What I really like, though, is this: Robin L. Rotham gives good ménage. Here we've got a bisexual Dom who won't be loved by a woman who is obviously his perfect mate. He also refuses to be loved by a Dom-ier dom (is that a thing?) who also is his perfect mate. They don't understand it. We don't understand it, and then we do and things turn around. I'm not crazy about virginal heroines, technical or otherwise, and I was annoyed that the ebook, which my Nook says has 111 pages, ends on page 71 with the remaining 40 pages of it being previews of two other novellas, but I can overlook those things. (You might consider just buying the anthology with this title in it, though.)
There's nothing earthshattering about this short tale, but the sexual dynamics are wonderful, plus you get a lovely touch of magical realism. It's a novella, no big deal, but it's a fun read with some hot sex and hot guys and one gigantic, horse-sized penis. It's all good. 4/5 stars, 5/5 hot licks of flame.

I love Robin Rotham, and I realized that I had missed her last couple of Kinky Christmas stories. So, I'm catching up now!
Miranda's been crushing on Tim since they were teenagers, but he's relegated her to his 'friend' zone. After he refuses her sexy invitation, Miranda consoles herself by going to the Christmas party with their mutual friend Peter Vaughan, where they discover a surprisingly intense mutual attraction which they're exploring back at Peter's apartment (which he shares with Tim) when Tim arrives home unexpectedly. Miranda and Peter invite Tim to help celebrate the 'sharing' spirit of the season, and lots of hot sex happens.
Tim has some Baggage from his past that has to be addressed, so he does some angsty navel-gazing about opening himself up to love, but he gets over his reluctance in a hurry...:) Peter seems like a decent and caring guy -- he's so sweet to Miranda and supportive of Tim. But I wasn't a big fan of Miranda's when she seemingly forgets all about being with Peter after Tim shows up...it's like she's forgotten that Peter's even there!
However, it's a quick read, with a nice HEA for everyone, so 3 stars.

4.5 out of 5 Licks
I really enjoyed this book! I always enjoy when the characters are funny and laugh during stressful or nerve-wracking times-like sex can be. These three are meant to be together. I absolutely love when there is one person in the relationship is fighting it tooth and nail. Tim has a past that is keeping him from committing to anyone long-term. Miranda and Peter are determined to break his will and boy is it fun watching them do it!! There is very light BDSM in this one that does leave you wanting for a bit more. Miranda made me laugh out loud several times throughout this book. She has such a fun spirit and that doesn't change at all in the bedroom or livingroom for that matter. ;) I hate to admit that this is the first book by Robin that I have read but I can say for certain it won't be the last! If you want a fun kinky Christmas story with lots of fun, love, and some steamy sex this is it!

Tim always puts people in categories and both Peter and Miranda were both firmly in the friend category, and both hopelessly attracted to Tim. Seeing these three fall in love is amazing and I want to read it over and over again.
Robin does it again with this hot Christmas tale. I first read her Halloween story FrankenDom and since then I've been faithfully picking up her backlist. I loved this story and it's going to be part of a new Christmas tradition.
This is part of a new spin on Christmas Carol from the Smutketeers. If you haven't picked up the others by RG Alexander and Eden Bradley, you're missing out!!Marley in Chains Getting Scrooged

This was another fun Christmas read. I felt for Miranda, her embarrassment in Tim’s rejection and her need to spark some jealousy with the sexy Peter Vaughn. Peter is a dominant in his own right and watching him and Miranda play was hot by itself. She has a secret of her own that she’d rather not come to light. When Tim is thrown into the mix is when the heat turns up. The m/m/f threesome has a little bit of everything and the dirty talk is super sexy. I really enjoyed learning about Tim’s past and his reason for keeping his distance in relationships. It was authentic and touching. Overall, a very satisfying and erotic Christmas novella with a nice HEA.

The second book in The Smutketeers Present...A Kinky Christmas Carol),
"Not so Tiny Tim".
Robin L. Rotham has created a kinky fun & romantic take on the classic, "A Christmas Carol"
Tim has two best friends; Miranda whose been in love with Tim for years, and Peter, who's also in love with Tim. Tim has no interest in forever and he keeps his two best friends in the 'friends only' category.
When Peter and Miranda met and have a connection, Tim's none to pleased.
Peter and Miranda show Tim that a HEA is possible and he is deserving of it and so are they.
Keep a cool drink at hand and a few tissues too. ;-)

This was a great read and I really liked the dynamics between all three of the characters. I think the only thing I might have wanted to see more of was the interaction between Tim and Peter. Peter was also almost lost in that first time with Miranda and Tim, but I think it made up for it later when Tim and Peter are together when Miranda gets to help. :) I would have loved for this story to be longer, because I think things were complicated enough with these three to warrant a longer story. That also might just be wanting more of a good thing as well though too. lol Overall, this was an excellent holiday read.

This was my favorite book in the series and it had it all. M/M, a very sexy M/F/M, but the best part was these three finding happiness together and helping Tim enjoy a good life without fear. He suffered so much that he really needed some time to accept friendship and love from people that care about him.
Plus this story has a lot of BDSM and it made so steamy. Really great little book and I was really happy to see a great HEA on the end of this one.
Miranda need to put Tim to work more on forgiveness because she waited for him for so long.

I bought this one from Amazon. (Based purely on convenience. Wanted to read it right then. Didn't want to fool around with downloading, moving to Dropbox, etc.)
Pretty good. Nice light style. A few details bugged me like the fact that Tim could get it on w Pete and Miranda shortly after breaking his leg. I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but I couldn't stop wincing for this sex scene. Also, when the book title is inspired by a part of the hero's anatomy, I expect it to feature more prominently in the plot, or at least be *ahem* described better. Still enjoyed it and will buy the third.

Miranda´s spent her last years hopelessly in love with her best friend, and finally come to terms with him not loving her back. Or, not really. She´s still hopelessly in love with him, and now it´s time for the annual christmas party where he´s brought a gorgeous model as a date instead of her.
That´s when Tim´s best friend Peter gets a nudge by mr Frost and steps in to save the night. The instant connection with Miranda leads to fluffy smut, but what is Tim going to do when his best friends go on - together - without him?
Smutty fluff, feelings and a threesome in a great combo.

A little kink from Robin L. Rotham can go a long way at Christmas! Great addition to the series and I'll put it back on the reread schedule for next Xmas :) All three stories in the series intertwine and work well together.

Surprisingly enjoyable.
A new take on the Dickens Christmas Carol.
I liked all three of them.
I liked Miranda... She wasn't TSTL. Though
I liked Peter...
And Tim once he got his head out of his ass, was well likable.
And a little bit of Christmas magic thrown in.

I enjoyed reading about Tim, Miranda and Peter. the dynamic and uncertainty is great. You knew what would happen but it was a fight for Tim to admit that they could all make their relationship work. Can't wait to read the others.

This book is part of the Kinky Christmas Carol by the Smutketeers. I read this book second, the first one I read was Getting Scrooged by Eden Bradley.
This was another enjoyable, quick read.

It's only when we lose the thing we most want that we realise that is what it is.
Robin has written a beautiful story about acceptance and the different ways that love takes hold off our lives and can heal old wounds.
