We are back in Christmas Falls for a second season! In the 12 Dates of Christmas we have the local matchmaker find his match.
From the blurb:
Leo Fenner needs a Christmas miracle …
Charmed by the small town, and weary of the big city dating scene, Leo moved to Christmas Falls in hopes of finding love like his college friend, Hayden.
Nick Morgan had the love of his life and lost her, but is determined to help others find their happily ever after with his matchmaking service.
His website needs work though, and Leo is just the man for the job.
The web developer signs up for Nick’s matchmaking service to get a feel for what the process is like, all while secretly hoping it’ll bring him the love of his dreams.
But as Nick and Leo work together, the sparks between them are impossible to ignore.
Too bad there’s a few little problems.
For one, Nick’s never fallen for a man before. And, oh yeah—those dates he’s planning for Leo? They’re supposed to be with other guys …
Christmas Falls: Season 2 revisits a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie. It's a multi-author M/M romance series.
Molly Otto's review:
I love this season of Christmas Falls so much! This year, the stories fell less Hallmark and more real! Yes, they still have the Hallmark vibes of the town along with great meet cutes, yet this year, the authors seem to have made a conscious effort to add real-life emotions into their stories as well.
Leo moves to Christmas Falls to be closer to his best friend Hayden (mc from Scrooge You) and in hopes of finding his one true love. When he helps set up Nick's matchmaking site, he agrees to give it a shot as well. With a series of horrible dates, you can't help but laugh at how wrong Nick is getting this. When Nick messes up and hurts Leo, he takes, wooing him back to the next level. He shows how much he really does care for Leo, and he deeply regrets his poor decisions. Thankful this wasn't an easy sorry but a heartfelt one. These two just work so well together when they do get it right.
I believe this was my first book by this author, and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be reading more of their books.
Season 2 of Christmas Falls sees a lot of matchmaking happen (Nick first appears in the Snuggle Is Real). This time, we get to see the matchmaker himself, Nick, find his own match, though he doesn't realize that's what happening at first.
Nick is a widower who started a matchmaking service in honor of his late wife. Leo is a web designer who is hired to help Nick with his website. As a thank you for his services, Nick offers to help the hopeless romantic but helpless with love, Leo, find his perfect match. Leo wants nothing more than to fall in love and be loved in return, but every date Nick sets him up on ends in disaster. Nick can't understand why, especially as he gets to know Leo better and sees how wonderful he is...and starts to fall for him himself.
I found Leo's disaster dates to be pretty entertaining and both MCs are immensely likeable. My only complaint is how drawn out the will he/won't he with Nick was. I understand the complexities of what Nick was dealing with in not only his bi-awakening, but also moving on from his late wife. But I felt pretty sorry for Leo at times with the hot and cold act he had to endure. I'm not sure I would have been as understanding. In the end, it was all worth it though as these two figure it out and get their Hallmark-worthy HEA.
Heather's Review:
I'm so happy that Nick is getting his HEA! Our resident matchmaker deserves all the happy holiday feels and so does Leo, the new guy in town... and they truly deserve it together, despite Nick's reticence...
This was a quick and easy read, with lots of cameos from around town, some crossover with other couples from this season's line up and of course just a dusting of holiday magic! I truly enjoyed getting to know Leo and Nick and rooted for them from day one to the end.
