Yolande Kleinn, $0.99, ISBN 978-1-946316-36-3
Contemporary Romance, 2023
Now, I like Yolande Kleinn’s style and way with words, so it pains me a bit to give Christmas Catch only two oogies, especially as it features my weakness: hot guys that are great at making nice food 24/7.
That Cam and Billy are lovers. Cam is baking, Billy is horny, they have sex, the end.
Yes, that’s it. I did a quick check before writing this review to see whether this story is some kind of short epilogue to some prior work of the author, but it doesn’t seem like the case.
So, basically, the story is just about a sex romp between two guys that I barely know, much less care to see going at it.
Of course, such a story can work had the sex been super explicit and hot, or it’s some kind of weird sex that make me gape and tell everyone to read this thing too.
After all, we’re talking about baking, no? I’m sure these guys can get creative with the ladles and eggbeaters. All that leftover cream can be put to good use, surely, along with sprinkles and icing and what not.
Come on, the author needs to give me something to work with here.
Unfortunately, the naughty scene is quite vanilla. So, unless one has never read about hot men shagging and can’t wait to do so, there’s really nothing here to make it stand out in any way.
Sorry, this review is short and boring, but don’t look at me. There’s nothing much here to work up even a little fuss over!
