Story
Ellian has a problem, and his name is Felix Masters. When Ellie, a high society male succubus, joins Against the Grain, he has a foolproof plan: attend the support group for supernatural misfits, figure out how to correct his...abnormality, and then return to the Incubi compound to join his betrothed. For once in Ellie’s suffocatingly controlled existence, he will bring honor to his family name, regardless of the personal cost. As long as a certain awkwardly sweet human does not ruin his carefully laid plans.

Publisher's Summary
Jack Furst loves South Pole, Alaska, almost as much as his sled dogs and second only to his girlfriend, Joyce. But the area has taken a downturn in recent years, and he’s afraid it’ll be a ghost town before long.
Joyce Nicholson enjoys her home base in South Pole and flies her single-engine plane to surrounding villages with supplies daily. When her company pressures her to move to another city with a better location and bigger population, Joyce fears leaving Jack behind.
There’s nothing more powerful than Christmas in Alaska, and when a surprise mayoral election shocks the entire South Pole residency, the town flips upside down and holds the most unusual Christmas celebration ever. Will it be enough to save the beloved city?

Quick Christmas Listen
This was a very quick Christmas listen and was very different from anything else I have read. I loved the unique and different take on Christmas that Brooke creates in this story that takes place in South Pole Alaska. Usually with short stories I feel they are lacking but this one I didn't get that feeling. She made me feel like I was right there with Jack and Joy and enjoying Christmas with them. I can't wait to read the rest of the books that take place in South Pole. The narrator (Brooke) really made her story come alive for me.

South Pole, Alaska, is dying a slow death. Can a new mayor revive the town? Will Jack Furst be able to be with his love, Joyce, a bush pilot who drops in on the town? Or, will the town dry up and will Joyce be reassigned to other areas because of it?

A heartwarming Christmas story
Jack Furst lived in South Pole Alaska, a small sleepy town that was steadily loosing its population to larger surrounding cities. Jack trained dogs, and has this weird habit of standing on his head. ( it gave him a different view of the world)! Jack was not interested in leaving South Pole. His girlfriend, Joyce, was a pilot who flew supplies to the smaller communities. At a town meeting, they were informed that the Mayor was leaving to take a job elsewhere. Joyce secretly floats Jacks name , and a flabbergasted Jack is elected. Jack is disturbed because the town was slowly dying with so many people leaving. He has to come up with something to save the town. Jack’s solution is unique and to say the least! Treat yourself to this charming book. It will warm your heart!

Christmas In a Small Alaska Town
The new mayor of a dying, Alaska small town comes up with an idea for making Christmas special that puts South Pole on the map .
A sweet, feel good Christmas romance that emphasize the giving spirit of Christmas. I love the depiction of small town life in this story. South Pole is a place where everybody knows your name and people will pitch in to help out on a project, even one that's offbeat and a little crazy. I love Jack's easy going charm and the fact that it's Joyce, his girlfriend that has the unconventional job which threatens the couple's happiness in their idyllic small town.
This one's a very short read but if you're looking for something light to put you into the Christmas mood this year, this might be exactly the story you're looking for.
