Blurb:
From North Pole City to Winter Wonderland, preparations are underway after a royal announcement sweeps everyone into a frenzy of festivity. At the heart of the celebration are the city’s most beloved elf pilots, the Rein Dears. Once the Big Flight is behind them, the pilots prepare for the royal event. Assigned a special task of finding an Elska rose, Cupid and Blitzen are unaware of how their friendship is about to change forever.
Yet not all that glitters is gold. The sweet, angelic Cupid hides a dark secret, one that threatens to destroy his Rein Dear status, his friends, and the elf who’s captured his heart. It’s up to Blitzen to help Cupid see the light in the darkness and show him that together they can mend broken hearts.
Likes:
- A non-traditional Rein Dear.
- Cupid and Blitz were cute in an ‘opposites attract’ kind of way.
- Dockalfar.
- More about Jack and Rudy.
- Hint about Dasher and the King.
Dislikes:
- Nothing too surprising.
Blitz and Cupid were a cute couple. They’re a study in opposites in terms of their looks, with Cupid being small and Blitz being big. If anything, their size difference made it easier for them to snuggle together, even when they were just friends. Watching the men go from friends to lovers was fun. It’s a trope I enjoy, and the only one of its kind in the series so far.
Cupid is the only member of the Rein Dears who isn’t traditional to the Christmas songs, which is nice. But that’s not the only thing that sets him apart from the others. He has secrets, secrets that shake things up when they finally come out.
Of course, it was a given that Cupid’s secret would come out. Sadly, it was so predictable that the novella had very little tension for me. I did enjoy the addition of a new kind of elf – the Dockalfar. Like many things in this series, I wish more information about them had been provided, but I have hope that some of my questions will be answered in the next book.
I am enjoying seeing more about Jack and Rudy with each book. And I liked that this book set up the romance between both Dasher and the King and Donner and Calder. I’m very interested to see where that goes.
