Loads of communication and exploration and ADORATION as they pläy house while their hearts burn fiery and fast for one another.

It’s inclusive, there’s found family and personal growth.

It’s perfect

*cue Santa baby* cause that house gets rockin pretty darn quick. The chemistry is hot and fierce as these two seggsy bi boys pull no punches on figuring out exactly what they want.

and he was considering asking him out even though he’s never been with a guy before, but what is retirement for if not exploring his full identity… and he’s fully divorced and alone and no one wants to be alone for the holidays.

with a leap of faith that he blames on the holidays, Jet offers to take in the QB at his home, willing to nurse him back to health after his accident.
Harte is in shock, but the sheriff is pretty hot…
December 13, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Hot sheriff finds him at the scene and follows him to the hospital, unable to leave him alone considering they used to know each other (and he used to have a crush on Harte!)
December 13, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Harte is freshly retired and decides to settle in Appleton Falls nearby to where his former teammates Dev and Brody have a cottage. He’s only just getting to know the townspeople, including the hot sheriff that he runs into at the grocery store, when he crashes his car in the snow.
December 13, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Who is hotter you ask? Is it Harte the retired former Brooklyn QB or Jet the squishy at heart beefy in flesh sheriff of Appleton Falls who used to go to university with Harte when he was a freshman and had a crush on him?

IMPOSSIBLE to answer. They’re both 🔥 hot.

And the R1MMING … I am ALWAYS begging for more r1mming scenes… ALWAYS and it has not fallen on deaf ears!!!! FELICE HAS BLESSED US WITH SO MUCH CAKE EATING THAT IT FEELS ILLEGAL! 😭😍

Y’all going to put me on a ventilator over here.

*slaps top of Holiday Huddle* You can fit SO MUCH SMÜT in this this baby!

He might have never known the words but his actions speak for themselves, Dante Theriot might be in love.

Oh and there’s SP1cy Knkiness in every nook and cranny of this book and I for one am here for it. Positively delicious.

Things go out of control when the evil Russians threaten the Theriot family and go as far as putting Alex in danger and Dante loses all control; no one, NO ONE touches his *bôy*.
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
It’s only when Alex is drügged and appears on his doorstep needing help that Dante helps him and vows to protect him: very quickly Alex worms himself into Dante’s life and becomes *his boy* even going so far as endangering himself when Dante goes to deal with some Theriot “family business”
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Oh and he’s his student. But that’s never going to happen. But Alex, the student, is VERY determined, and flirts and tries to seduce him anyway. And Dante is very tempted but stands his ground.
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Anywho, it’s a DELIGHT.

The book.

Dante, middle bro of the Theriot family is just trying to live his life as a professor at university when he is clocked by a very impressionable and very hot young man who DEF wants to get into his pants.
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
It’s a forbidden student/professor AND Dâddy/bóy AND touch him and d1e maf1a book with very k1nky D/s

MA’AM WHY YOU GOTTA FILL OUT A FULL KNK BINGO CARD WITH ONE BOOK??? I AM BUT A HUMBLE HUMAN??!
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Anyway and this is his book and you KNOW I was going to read it and drool over it.

In my limited reading of Silvia, I’ve discovered that whenever she can fit in the Dâddy/bôy dynamic she a) will and b) will write it dang well and c) make you so th1rsty y’all gonna need 4L of water to keep up
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
The thirst was SO REAL. Dante is objectively the hottest of the Theriot brothers imo, hunky and nerdy as in HE’s A F*CKING PROFESSOR nnnnnnngh and so protective ma’am the loyalty k1nk is off the charts. I can’t. I just CANT.
December 13, 2025 at 3:04 AM
James nails all the characters and makes it a stunning listen (as usual!)

So their courtship is so wholesome and pure, saving each other, taking care of each other and taking major leaps of faith in making their relationship physical and real. Add in cameos and found family and this is such a beautiful read.

Soon it becomes an open to secret to everyone but them that there’s something between them that’s more than friendship and cue the panic. But it’s only a little bit of panic because they’re friends. Special friends. And neither can imagine themselves without the other.

But they click. In an odd way, because Rafe is hapless on and off the ice and despite the age difference Mickey jumps in with an authoritative tone to guide him in all things: positional pläy, meals, wake up calls, hydration, seats on the plane… it just becomes habit and they both *like it*
December 12, 2025 at 3:07 AM
What Mickey doesn’t know is that Rafe won’t date a teammate ever again and he’s Demi so… he may never feel attracted to anyone ever again anyway… right? 🥺
December 12, 2025 at 3:07 AM
Well Boston is hurting and desperate for a talented d-man to work with their German rookie, Mickey and they make the trade. Upon arriving, Mickey takes in Rafe’s big Canadian himbo glory and soft demeanour and basically adopts him (NVM that he’d fugg him senseless if ever given the chance)
