Summary
In need of work and a change of scenery， Aussie ex-pat Jayden Turner agrees to a short-term chef position at a Bed and Breakfast over the Christmas holidays。 After all， how hard could it be in a small town in the mountains of Montana？ What he finds is a grand old house in a beautiful town， and his new boss is gorgeous， gay， and single。
After his divorce， Carter “Cass” Campion bought his great-aunt’s rundown country manor in his home town， and he’s determined to get it ready for the busy holiday period。 Recently out as gay， he’s been focused solely on his business and hasn’t had time for a man。 Not that many gay men come through Hartbridge 。 。 。
As his new clients arrive， and being away from his two kids， celebrating Christmas is the last thing on Cass’s mind。 But his new chef has other ideas。 And if there’s one thing on his Christmas Wish List this year， Jayden can make it come true。

This was a charming slow burn holiday romance。 Cass was such a romantic and towards the end the ways he showed Jayden how much he wanted him to stay made me swoon！

If you're looking for something heartwarming for those of us living in cooler temperatures， or if you've yet to kick off your holiday romance reading for the year， look no further than N。R。 Walker's Christmas Wish List。 Jayden and Cass were an interesting pair who seem to have entered each other's lives at just the right time。 Cass （and Hartbridge， Montana） gave Jayden that feeling of home， while Jayden gave Cass the freedom to accept and embrace who he truly is。 I appreciated the fact that noth If you're looking for something heartwarming for those of us living in cooler temperatures， or if you've yet to kick off your holiday romance reading for the year， look no further than N。R。 Walker's Christmas Wish List。 Jayden and Cass were an interesting pair who seem to have entered each other's lives at just the right time。 Cass （and Hartbridge， Montana） gave Jayden that feeling of home， while Jayden gave Cass the freedom to accept and embrace who he truly is。 I appreciated the fact that nothing was overly rushed with these two。 Yes， they were attracted to each other， but they also built these great kinship， both as friends and as employer-employee。 This had a wonderful mix of sweet and steamy and Christmassy feels， and it easily snags 4。5 stars。 。。。more

DNF。 No rating。 Look， when we pick up a romance， especially a book we know to be a fluffy holiday romance， we all know it's headed toward an HEA。 However， there has got to be some mystery to the path toward an HEA for me to enjoy a book。 And this one holds no secrets。 I DNF'ed in Chapter 2 because I could already predict exactly how this one will play out。 It's a pass for me。 DNF。 No rating。 Look， when we pick up a romance， especially a book we know to be a fluffy holiday romance， we all know it's headed toward an HEA。 However， there has got to be some mystery to the path toward an HEA for me to enjoy a book。 And this one holds no secrets。 I DNF'ed in Chapter 2 because I could already predict exactly how this one will play out。 It's a pass for me。 。。。more

This was soooo sweet。 I love N。R。 Walker and was anxiously waiting for this book after finishing Tic-Tac Mistletoe， but this one was even better。 I loved how the relationship that developed between Cass and Jayden and was so happy Cass got what he wanted （Jayden too）。 This was a perfect sweet Christmas-sy read。 The whole atmosphere was perfect and the family dynamic only made the romance more perfect。 * I was sent an e-arc of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* #ChristmasWis This was soooo sweet。 I love N。R。 Walker and was anxiously waiting for this book after finishing Tic-Tac Mistletoe， but this one was even better。 I loved how the relationship that developed between Cass and Jayden and was so happy Cass got what he wanted （Jayden too）。 This was a perfect sweet Christmas-sy read。 The whole atmosphere was perfect and the family dynamic only made the romance more perfect。 * I was sent an e-arc of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* #ChristmasWishList #NetGalley 。。。more

Three years after Hamish arrived in Hartsbridge， Montana， in Tic-Tac-Mistletoe， another Aussie shows up in this heartwarming holiday tale。 This time， it’s Jayden Turner， a chef who's been in the States for twelve years。 He tends not to stay in one area very long and when he finds himself between jobs， he jumps at the opportunity to fill a temporary position as the chef of a bed and breakfast over the Christmas holidays。 By the time he arrives in the idyllic small town， he's reassessing his life。 Three years after Hamish arrived in Hartsbridge， Montana， in Tic-Tac-Mistletoe， another Aussie shows up in this heartwarming holiday tale。 This time， it’s Jayden Turner， a chef who's been in the States for twelve years。 He tends not to stay in one area very long and when he finds himself between jobs， he jumps at the opportunity to fill a temporary position as the chef of a bed and breakfast over the Christmas holidays。 By the time he arrives in the idyllic small town， he's reassessing his life。 He’s longing for a home， a more permanent life， and he doesn’t want to be alone any longer。 It’s been several years since Cass Campion began a new phase of his life after telling his ex-wife and parents he was gay。 He had played the role everyone had expected of him and could no longer pay the high price of living a life full of lies: pretending to be happily married to his high school girlfriend with two kids and a house。 Now he's the owner of the Arabella Manor B&B， housed in his great aunt’s old country home which he purchased and thoroughly refurbished。 He’s tired of hookups and is ready for a relationship and romance。 Cass and Jayden hit it off from the start。 Cass loves having Jayden in his space， another man to help with daily， domestic tasks。 They seem to click together， working as a pair to ready the B&B for guests。 In the days before the grand opening， they clean， plan the menu， shop， prepare the kitchen， and decorate for Christmas with the help of Cass' young children。 Jayden is a kind， down to earth man who enjoys taking care of Cass through feeding him。 They're cute and casual with each other。 Jayden recognizes that Cass had no one to talk to or support him when he came out。 He still has no one to talk to， so Jayden urges Ren and Hamish to take him under their gay wings。 The men agree on a no strings “dating” and sexual arrangement just while Jayden’s in town， but they slowly catch feelings。 They hold hands， they blush， they feel butterflies。 It’s sweet and innocent。 Their first time together is emotional。 While Jayden falls in love with Cass， he also falls in love with Hartsbridge。 He’s enamored by the cutesy town and all its old-fashioned Christmas spirit。 He likes the people who all know each other， and is joyful in the snow。 He now has to consider if his heart wants to move on to another job or if he should stay in town。 The falling in love happens quickly over a period of ten days or so， but it feels realistic for the stages of life the men are in。 They are both open to the possibilities of a permanent person in their lives。 Ms。 Walker makes the most of her small-town setting by involving the townsfolk in her story。 It was fun catching up with Ren and Hamish， as well as meeting new faces who easily accept Cass' sexuality and Jayden in his life。 Jayden easily endears everyone to him， including Cass’ children， his supportive ex-wife， and his parents。 Christmas Wish List is a great book to get you in the Christmas spirit。 With all its holiday festivities and romance， it's worthy of a Hallmark movie of its own。 For anyone who enjoys indulging in holiday romances， this is a great one to try。 ARC kindly provided to Love Bytes Reviews in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

The characters mention Hallmark several times in this book， and for good reason， because it’s exactly like a novelization of a Hallmark Christmas movie。 Well， if they would produce one with gay leads， anyway。It really would make a perfect film for the network。 The setting is a quaint small town getting ready to celebrate Christmas。 A chef increasingly tired of moving from job to job is hired for a brief stint at the grand opening of a B&B。 His new boss is a divorcee who has been pouring all his The characters mention Hallmark several times in this book， and for good reason， because it’s exactly like a novelization of a Hallmark Christmas movie。 Well， if they would produce one with gay leads， anyway。It really would make a perfect film for the network。 The setting is a quaint small town getting ready to celebrate Christmas。 A chef increasingly tired of moving from job to job is hired for a brief stint at the grand opening of a B&B。 His new boss is a divorcee who has been pouring all his energy into his business to distract himself from how lonely he is。 When the two of them meet， sparks fly， and even though it would be a bad idea for them to get involved， they can’t deny their attraction。 Feelings grow throughout the holiday season， and in the end， two men looking for home find forever in each other。 And of course， in true Hallmark fashion， the small town is idyllic， the leads are both charming， and their romance is very sweet。 （But with some actual heat because this is a novel， after all。）If you’ve ever sighed happily in front of your TV watching one of those movies， this is the perfect book for you。 A copy of this book was provided through NetGalley for review; all opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more
