Closet Geeks and Slow Mo

Tinsel, Sand & Snow has all my favorites by Kat and Stone Bastion nicely gathered together.
So perfect for me.. and all the fans of the authors. Add to that, that all of them are set around the holidays and you get a perfect little gift.

I really enjoyed re-reading my favorite works by the authors. And two things stood out for me:
-I love the writing style and character building - as you know those are super important for me.
-BUT more than that, they are very diverse authors. Reading three different setting side by side, hammered that home. I love all three setting and I really adore the character building in all three. Each has its completely own feel, bound together by the wonderful writing style.

Three Christmases being the most "realistic"is set in modern day US. The last of the No Weddings Series, works well as a standalone. But frankly be OCD about this one, read the other 3 as well, because you don't wanna miss all of Cade - or the slow burn chemistry and wonderful building of a interesting relationship (neither the smut) My favorite in the series and rereading just reaffirmed this. Cute story line, interesting characters and just swoony.

The Espionage Effect is has a fabulous James Bond feel to it, is set mostly in Mexico and comes with all the goodness I have come to expect from the Bastions. It is more smutty than the other books, which for many of you will appreciate I am sure. Sadly this is a standalone, I mean sadly because I really like the world it was set, I love the mystery and I was am still hoping that there will be more set in this world.

Bound by Wish and Mistletoe is a novella set in Kat Bastions Series Highland Legends. Set in historical Scotland,it features alpha-dudes and kilts. It is totally smutty-licious and sizzling. Great intro into the series, even if it is set after the first book. I hope that the re-release means Kat will be publishing book 2 in the series soon?

Basically, if you like the Bastions, get yourself a holiday treat. If you don't know them, this is a great entry to their works.
For me it brought home the fact that I am actually waiting on several of their novels to be released. The next one being Rule Breaker from the Unbreakable series, a spin-off from No Wedding (release date: 11/6/16). Tinsel, Sand & Snow was a nice little tie-me-over until then and wonderful reminder why I love the authors.

Great Holiday Read
A must for lovers of the genre
