[I received a digital arc for an honest review]

Christmas on Firefly Hill is the newest holiday novella by Garrett Leigh. Single dad and firefighter Logan Halliwell is hoping to make this holiday season special for his sons after his recent divorce. He is shocked when a memory from a summer festival shows up renting his uncle’s workshop on Firefly Hill. Remy Collins needs a place to finish his holiday orders and the workshop on the hill is ideal. He never expects that Logan is the fire marshall he remembers from the festival and that the two would have explosive chemistry and an unexplainable connection. But both men harbor heavy baggage and refuse to open themselves up completely. Can the holiday season bring the two together or will the end of the year bring the end of their blossoming relationship?

Logan Halliwell is trying his best. He wants to be there for his sons while being the best firefighter he can be but he’s just tired. Remy comes into his life and brings so much lightness and support that he never knew he needed. The two try to keep things physical for the sake of their hearts but Remy just manages to find a place in Logan’s life that is meant to be forever.

This man has a unique way of being so f*cking sweet and filthy at the same time. It’s so potent it should be a weapon, and I’m powerless against it.

Remy Collins knows he’s in deep trouble when he runs into Logan again and finds the man he’s been dreaming about is even more alluring than before. Remy fails to keep himself from getting attached to Logan’s sons, Billy and Sam. He struggles to believe that Logan isn’t just a charitable caregiver and truly wants Remy for everything.

He says it like it’s ordinary. Like he’s ordinary. But as I watch him work with deft fingers and skill, I get another reminder he’s nothing of the sort.

Christmas novellas tend to be a bit insta-lovey and this one definitely had moments of it. But with the sweetness of the holiday season and watching the two men find happiness and support in each other I was able to put my dislike of that trope behind me. This book was a healthy balance of steam, sweet family times and angst. I really want to see who Logan’s brother Locke ends up with, so hello motorcycle series.

4 stars for Logan and Remy finding holiday happiness on Firefly Hill.
