| Thorne Mordeaux, Prince of Sayrea, left his mythical island world to escape heartbreak and spends his time here as a reclusive author. Despite the fact he was sure his heart was dead to love forever, there is something about his lovely new housekeeper that reawakens all his senses. He's not comfortable with these new feelings and when his dynamic brother Dax shows up emotions are sure to really heat up! Merry Holiday spent years caring for her mother, only to find that everything was left to her gorgeous, self-centered sister, including her childhood home! It's hard to think with her confidence so shaken, but she won't let hard times stop her. She has to find something fast and the ad for a live- in housekeeper position seems a magical solution. Merry even enjoys the mystery novels of her new boss Thorne Mordeaux. She is surprised to find he's not an old crone. In fact, he's so sexy she feels guilty for her own fantasies of him. King Dax arrives a week before Christmas and can obviously see Thorne and Merry are in love, yet neither has the faith to make that leap into bliss. So Dax decides to generate some Christmas Magic and make it his business to bring them together, in every way!
Merry's Christmas Ménage is a sexy romantic tale of finding love where and when you least expect it. Merry thinks of herself as a very ordinary woman, plus size and not the type that her sexy hunk of a boss would ever want. But Thorne is attracted to Merry and the only reason he isn't acting on his desire has nothing to do with her weight. Neither of them would have acted on their deepest wishes until Thorne's brother Dax decided to play matchmaker. Thorne is a real grump and almost drives Merry away before they both learn to speak from their heart. This is an elegant little story filled with very likable characters, good pace and sex with two super desirable men! The fact that a ménage is part of Darwaedd culture is a convenient plot point, but the way the Mordeaux men go out of their way to reinforce and bolster Merry's fragile confidence is very heartwarming. And the climatic scene between these three will keep the home fires burning hot, hot, hot! Merry's Christmas Menage is a wonderful bit of pure entertainment. Well done!
