Bah. Humbug.

EVAN

I didn’t always hate Christmas. But where most people see joy and love, I now see grief and loss. All I want is to be left alone at this time of year. Unfortunately, I seem to have accidentally offended a sweet boy at my club. Thanks to my meddling friend, I was supposed organise a blind date for him that I knew nothing about. Rather than hold it against me, however, he’s decided to show me all the fun that Daddies and boys can have during the holidays with some ‘practice’ dates. Not just with him, but his two boyfriends as well. It’s unthinkable…but I start having fun. My heart has been broken for so long, though. Surely, it’s too late to fix it now.

TIAN

Okay, yes, I was hurt when my Secret Santa Daddy jilted me. But I know that deep down Evan is a good man. He just needs a little help to show him the way, and I happen to be the little for the job! Even better, I convince my boyfriends to help, too. Jude is the perfect mischievous middle to get Evan smiling again, and Daddy Sai…

I think secretly he wants to be Daddied himself sometimes. It’s not hard to find the strong, caring man hidden away between Evan’s gruff exterior. When our lessons become something more, can I convince him he’s safe to open his heart again to love? Christmas in the past tore his heart in two, but in the present, we’re going to mend it for all the Christmases yet to come!

In Good Spirits is a super steamy, standalone MMMM gay romance novel featuring two Daddies, a middle and a little, a second chance at love, a Christmas wonderland, an old playroom given new purpose, a matchmaking Corgi, and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliffhanger.

Highly Entertaining

This book was enjoyable. We get to see a man who was brokenhearted find love with 3 people. So that his love bucket is overflowing.

Two Daddies = Double the Heartfelt Romance

The fairly unusual two Daddies dynamic at play here proved too intriguing to pass up this MMMM holiday romance. And of course, the masterful Dan Calley narrating is always a big plus.

This story revolves around grieving Daddy Evan as he slowly and sweetly joins the established throuple of married Daddy Sai and "Middle" Jude, and their "Little" boyfriend Tian.

I enjoyed seeing the relationships with Evan develop individually, then deepen as a polycule. The healing and heartfelt moments were plentiful, as were the spicy times, and the honesty and bravery in maintaining open communication amongst the four men - all of their hurts, fears, desires, and raw feelings - was refreshing. That latter goes double for the interactions between Evan and Sai.

The only thing that really wasn't my cup o' tea was the full-on lovin' scene while Tian was in his Little mindset. I'm personally not a fan of the scenario or the associated dirty talk, but to each their own. Regardless, it was well-written and didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Sweet and spicy

A cute, sweet and spicy MMMM romance at the holidays. This story also touches on grief and does a great job exploring ethical nonmonogamy as well has polycules

Good story

The story was well written and had great depth, the narration was well done but I did have to slow it down from my usual listening speed. Definitely worth a listen!
