Dylan the Bad Boy Reindeer & His Virtuous Mate (#5)

From the world of Willy the Kinky Elf & His Bad-Ass Reindeer.

The North Pole isn't exactly as it appears in fairy tales. It has the elves and Santa and his reindeer, but Santa and Mrs. Claus aren't the jolly couple the world believes them to be. Far from it, actually. The reindeer are all shape-shifters who transform into gorgeous beings in human form and are respected by all.

Reindeer Dylan is the ultimate bad boy - wearing leather, riding a motorcycle, having sex anytime he wants. Forced to run away as a teen, he’s had to fight for survival. Now twenty-five, Dylan lives in Mistletoe Hill, the one place in the North Pole that's not eggnog and sugar cookies.

When Santa's wife promises to share information about Dylan's long-missing mother, he reluctantly escorts her to the annual Christmas party to make Santa jealous. What he doesn't expect is to see a reindeer who'll have him wanting something he's never wanted before. Scared of what he's feeling, he leaves, not even knowing the reindeer's name.

Cole Crawford is one of the North Pole's most respected citizens. Not one for random hookups, when he locks eyes with Mrs. Claus' date at the party, he's convinced he's found his mate. But then the reindeer bolts, leaving Cole wondering if he'll ever see him again.

When Mrs. Claus breaks her promise, Dylan contacts the Chief Reindeer and his elf for help locating his mother. Unfortunately, there are powerful people who'll stop at nothing to ensure that certain secrets stay buried. Elf Willy just wants to play matchmaker and drink his Peppermint Whiskey. After witnessing the look between Dylan and Cole last Christmas, he makes it his elfly duty to bring them together.

I don't know what it is about this series that keeps me smiling every time but I do really enjoy it. This one has a little bit deeper of a character arc as we learn more about the secrets Santa and Mrs. Claus are keeping. Of course Mrs. Claus is as evil as ever, though maybe there's a little bit more to Santa than we've seen in the past. Dylan's always been on the outskirts of the good people in the North Pole. Raised by a horrible man and having grown up in Mistletoe Hill, the one place in the North Pole even Santa won't got, Dylan's carved out a place for himself there. He's got his bar, and it may be the only safe space in Mistletoe Hill for people to have a drink without fear. But no matter how hard he tries he can't forget the sight of one particular reindeer last Christmas.

I enjoyed watching Willy's machinations to get Cole and Dylan back into each other's company. Of course as soon as that happens, well mate bonds are strong things. There's a lot Dylan doesn't know about his history and he's always wondered what truly happened to his mother, the one person in his life he ever thought cared about him. It was great to see Dylan restoring bonds with old friends and getting to have a real life for once. He and Cole were very sweet together.

I'll cut to the chase. I love a bad boy. Dylan is a bad boy. He's hot, he drives a Harley, and he only cares about how many bucks he can fuck in one night. Then he meets Cole and only has eyes (and I'll just say it..... his cock) for his new mate. Or should I say that elf Willy forces him to meet Cole. I like Cole but he's such a good guy. Not a bad thing but this girl loves her a bad boy.

Then there's the rest of the NP gang. What I really love about this series is how the author weaves past characters into each new book. Willy the elf. Need I say more? He's crazy. Crazy as all fuck but I love him. There's a scene in the jewelry store with Willy that I read during a meeting. I still have a job after giggling out loud so that's something I suppose.

Seriously. Don't read that scene unless you're in a place where you can laugh out loud. I can't even type this without laughing. That elf is nuts. I work in sales. I want to hire the little fucker. I'd be set and never have to do another day of work.

Mrs Claus takes evil to a new level in this book. I don't know how she can come back from what was revealed here. It was nice to see Santa finally grow a pair with her. I'm curious to see what happens with him in upcoming books. I don't care about her. I used to love to hate her. Now I just hate her.

Dylan has to find out what happened to his mother before he can give his all to his new mate. All our fave players from past books are right there to help him, including Blake Simpson who Dylan knew from his using days and hated.

I admit to being surprised over how things came together. Not at all what I was expecting.

I'm still having fun with this series when i'm normally bored to tears by book three of a series. I want more. And Willy? I wanna see his butt too. Honey, there ain't nothin' wrong with wanting to look at nice things. 🙂
