Operation Meet the Parents
(Operation HEA #2)
by K.M. Neuhold

Expected publication: December 3rd 2021 by K.M. Neuhold

Genre: M/M, Romance

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Teddy is ready to pop the question, but can he find the perfect movie-moment proposal for Harlow? And more importantly, will Harlow survive meeting the parents? Oh, the joy of Christmas.

A missed connecting flight, inappropriate winter attire, and a kitchen fire…it wouldn’t be Christmas without some complications, right?

I know Harlow is desperately trying to impress my family, but I’m a lot more concerned about coming up with a proposal worthy of his Hollywood dreams. That is if he doesn’t burn the house down first.

There’s nothing like the holidays with family. Fa la la la la….

Another must read for me. A cute Christmas companion novella to a story I read in September - Operation: Meet Cute. I haven't reached my fill of holiday stories yet, so bring this on!!

What are you waiting on this week?

Christmas Wish List
(Hartbridge Christmas #2)
by N.R. Walker

Expected publication: November 25th 2021 by BlueHeart Press

Genre: M/M, Romance

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

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.

I have REALLY enjoyed this author's recent works. This is another book that I am looking forward to.
And it's time for me to get going on all of my Christmas reading!!

Dearest Malachi Keogh
(Dearest Milton James #2)
by N.R. Walker
Expected publication: November 15th 2021 by BlueHeart Press
Genre: M/M, Romance

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Julian Pollard never believed in love at first sight. That was until he met Malachi Keogh. Well, maybe it wasn’t love at first sight, but it sure was something.

Julian had forgotten how to live, how to be happy, and Malachi changed all that. Now together for four years, Julian wants to give Malachi a Christmas he’ll never forget.

The only problem is, Christmas at a mail distribution centre is the busiest time of the year. It just might take the whole team to make it happen.

Forever Wilde in Aster Valley
(Forever Wilde #9)
by Lucy Lennox
Expected publication: November 16th 2021
Genre: M/M, Romance

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both.

So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear. Miller is entranced by the dancing baker, and when Darius looks up and catches Miller staring, the interest suddenly goes both ways.

Can two strangers find love among the quaint chaos of an Aster Valley Christmas? Even if it includes the two most overwhelming and meddling families vying for the title of greatest matchmakers of all time?

Dearest Milton James was one of my favorite reads this year, so I'm looking forward to this short novella!!

Forever Wilde in Aster Valley is a combination of 2 series from this author - Forever Wilde and Aster Valley. I've read both series in their entirety, so I'm looking forward to this Christmas nugget.

Not Until Noah
(Star Crossed #1)
by Lisa Henry

Expected publication: November 5th 2021

Genre: M/M, Romance

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Carter Westlake is on the brink of being Hollywood gold. Cast as the lead in a highly-anticipated sci-fi trilogy filming in Australia, he’s primed to be the next A-list action hero: all-American, hot as hell, and straight. The problem is, Carter can only check off two of those boxes. But that’s okay—his bisexuality can remain a secret until these movies are behind him.

Childhood educator Noah Jones has a plan. Work as a nanny for six months, make some extra cash, and move to the UK to teach. He doesn’t expect his new boss to be a Hollywood star. And he certainly isn’t prepared to fall for the guy.

One kiss sends them tumbling into a secret relationship, even though they both agree it can be nothing more than a fling. Carter needs to stay in the closet for the sake of his career, and Noah’s leaving. But when their feelings continue to grow into something deeper, Carter has a decision to make. Knowing that exposing his sexuality could cost him his career, would he rather carry on living a lie, or risk it all to stand tall in his truth?

For some reason, I've never read anything by this author before. I DO have a series on my tbr that she is co-writing, but the final book isn't out until December, and I haven't even started the series yet. This book sounds really good, so I'm hoping to have a new-to-me author that I can auto add to my tbr.

The Underdog
(Better With You #3)
by Briar Prescott

How to have sex with a prosthetic leg?
Things I never thought I'd type into Google, but here we are.
I've made a crucial mistake in the wording.
"Oh no," I mutter as the results get increasingly weirder.
"No, no, no."
I quickly close the tab.
