Take One Elf, Add an Older Man with Daddy Tendencies, and Mix for the Perfect Christmas Romance
Dressing up as a sexy little elf for a themed Christmas party isn’t Eli Turner’s idea of a glittering career. It’s the rowdiest event Eli’s worked all season and when a drunken proposition goes too far, his refusal to play sets off a chain of events leaving him high and dry with only the cheap elf suit on his back.
The Christmas party wealthy banker Grey Gillespie doesn’t want to be at is sliding out of control. When trouble erupts Grey rushes to intervene, but not before the cute young guy dressed as an elf flees and disappears into the freezing cold night.
The last thing Grey expects as he makes his way home is to stumble across the little elf. Eli’s dire predicament awakens every one of Grey’s deep-seated needs: to comfort, to protect, to cherish and keep safe. Grey knows exactly what Eli yearns for — his little elf just needs some gentle persuasion to understand that everything he never knew he craved is everything Grey desperately wants to give him.
Daddy’s Christmas Elf is a sweet with heat Daddy-lite Christmas love story, oozing all the festive feels and fuzzies. Hurt/comfort, forced proximity, age gap, and two men drawn together to give the other exactly what he needs.

A very sweet Christmas story.
I love Ali Ryecart’s Christmas stories. (If you haven’t read any of them you don’t know what you’re missing.) Daddy’s Christmas Elf is a very sweet story with limited sexy time but that is fine with me; the story is what is most important and this one is great.
Eli hasn’t had an easy time of it lately and getting fired from his job as a Christmas Elf is just the icing on the cake. Grey feels responsible for Eli since it was one of his employees that caused Eli to get fired.
Oh boy, Grey is such a kind and caring person and I loved him. All he wants is someone to care for. Enter Eli, someone who wants nothing more than to be cared for. He and Grey seem to mesh perfectly but then Grey gets a visitor right before Christmas and it really shakes Eli up.
This is a nice and easy story to read with very low angst and lots of feels and Christmassy things. Ali Ryecart writes a wide variety of MM romance and I love them all.

I used to tell my stories to myself, now I tell them to the world…
The stories I only ever told to myself took place in a world where it was boy meets boy, where best friends became more, where the hero didn’t save the damsel but the hot guy he’d been secretly crushing on.
I wanted to read those stories. I craved to read those stories. But those stories weren’t out there. Or that’s what I thought… Until one Christmas, when I unwrapped a shiny new e-reader. All it took was a few clicks, and my world changed forever.
I found my tribe.
But there is life outside of MM & gay romantic fiction in all its configurations. Allegedly.
When I’m forced to switch off the trusty, faithful word machine, there’s a husband to feed and talk to, pubs to drink in, and cake to eat. I love to do all those things and more, before I rush back to write all the words.
I’m a Londoner, born and bred and even though I now live just outside of the big bad city, I’m close enough to hop on a train so I can get my regular metropolitan fix.

GLBTQ RomanceLooking at Elliott brought his desire rushing to the surface, and he felt a lump rise in his throat. He could have had this sooner. What if he hadn’t gone to that gay bar, or what if Elliott hadn’t? What if they hadn’t reconnected and he’d never experienced one of Elliott’s kisses? His touch? Hell, even his smile made it worth it.

GLBTQ RomanceIt’s finally and instantly clear to me. The reason I’ve never felt wholly complete or satisfied is because I haven’t been doing this relationship thing right. Not with Cortez and not even with Rogan. I’m not a top. I’m not a bottom. I was born to be their middleman.
