Honestly, this wasn't even bad. Bear Creek Christmas is cute and pretty fluffy, with a sweet romance between a disillusioned music teacher recently out of a relationship and a loner bear shifter longing for a mate. However, the author's writing style leaves a lot to be desired lol

After being attacked by a feral alpha vampire, omega Albion imprints on his rescuer, a dhamphir named Teagan.

With a bond meant between alpha and omega now connecting them, Albion and Teagan must navigate what that means for their unusual pairingβ€”especially when not everyone is happy about their union.

Poor Albion gets put through the wringer in Light of Day, but Teagan is always there to protect him no matter what. Their relationship was so sweet, and definitely steamy.

My only complaint is I wanted this to be so much longer 🀣

WHAT TO EXPECT:
- dhampir + omega
- omegaverse
- age gap
- bi-awakening
- touch him and ☠️ 

Heaped with his brother’s gambling debts, Wes turns to escorting at the suggestion of a friend. 

At Jack of Clubs he meets Cormac, a grumpy billionaire that instantly intrigues him from the moment Wes lays eyes on him. 

Their relationship is supposed to be purely transactional, but the more Wes gets to know Cormac the more he wants to crack the man’s icy exterior. 

Wes and Mac are total opposites in so many ways, but I instantly loved them. The chemistry and snarky banter between them was *chefs kiss* and I devoured Pretty Mess in one sitting.

Jesse, a human down on his luck, gets a job as a barista at a magical cafΓ© where he meets Thalen, a fairy prince who cannot be touched. However, after an accidental touch does not have Jesse writhing in pain, Thalen requests Jesse show him everything he's been missing out on. The pair grow closer the more they 'explore' the wonders of physical intimacy, and feelings quickly developβ€”obvi. 

Honestly, this was just cute and fluffy adorableness.
