Hot Chocolate Kisses: A Snow Globe Christmas Book 9 Kindle Edition

Alex had to leave the mean streets of Chicago in a hurry. Now he’s weathering his first Christmas in a small town in Colorado.

Cory had a boyfriend and now he doesn’t, which means the Christmas holiday is turning out to be the loneliest he’s had in years.

When they meet at a Holiday Fair, Alex finds himself being drawn into Cory’s world. A world where there is grace to be found in a simple, home-cooked meal, books read out loud by firelight, and the golden glow of welcome.

Alex has never wanted anything as tame as hearth and home. Now that he wants it, it’s not anything he can have. Nothing feels he deserves, at any rate.

Can Cory and the Spirit of Christmas Present prove to Alex that love is love?

An m/m romance with cakewalks, blizzards, hurt/comfort, a snow globe, hot chocolate kisses, and Christmas!
Although this book is part of A Snow Globe Christmas series, it is a complete stand alone and it isn’t a requirement that you read the previous books to follow along. We wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jackie North has been writing stories since grade school and her dream was to someday leave her corporate day job behind and travel the world. She also wanted to put her English degree to good use and write romance novels, because for years she’s had a never-ending movie of made-up love stories in her head that simply wouldn’t leave her alone.

Luckily, she discovered m/m romance and decided that men falling in love with other men was exactly what she wanted to write about. In this dazzling new world, she turned her grocery-store romance ideas around and is now putting them to paper as fast as her fingers can type. She creates characters who are a bit flawed and broken, who find themselves on the edge of society, and maybe a few who are a little bit lost, but who all deserve a happily ever after. (And she makes sure they get it!)

She likes long walks on the beach, the smell of lavender and rainstorms, and enjoys sleeping in on snowy mornings. She is especially fond of pizza and beer and, when time allows, long road trips with soda fountain drinks and rock and roll music. In her heart, there is peace to be found everywhere, but since in the real world this isn’t always true, Jackie writes for love.

Chocolate kisses are the very best. This is a slow burn holiday romance that highlights love. Cory and Alex are worlds apart. These two lovely men were lucky to bump into each other. This was the perfect story for the middle of a hot July. JACKIE NORTH has the heart of a romantic. This is a beautiful Book. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Cory was dumped by his boyfriend, who essentially told him he was boring. Alex had to leave Chicago suddenly and was struggling to find his place in the small town where his sister lives. When he and Cory run into each other, sparks fly but not the good kind. But they slowly start to become friendly while keeping their attraction under wraps. It was sweet to see Cory caring for Alex after his accident. I liked these guys together. Cory was the bookish type guy that I love. Alex was a little rough around the edges but he could be really sweet and was a good guy. I liked that their relationship progressed slowly, and even though things did speed up quite a bit at the end, I was left feeling hopeful that they'll have a long happy life together.

Hmmm. I’m usually more of a sucker for a Christmas romance story, but there were a number of things that just pulled away from my enjoyment of this book. Most importantly, the book needed a better proofread to fix a number of editing and continuity errors. It was also obvious that this author does not know much about Chicago as she kept referring to Alex’s thin leather jacket and lack of gloves as he was not used to such cold as Colorado has. Really?!? Chicago routinely has negative zero temperatures in the wintertime, and they are not called the Windy City for nothing. She does get a half star bonus for the Giorgio Tsoukalos and Ancient Aliens reference though. Still, this was a decent but not stellar read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Falling in love at Christmas has never been so sweet!
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019

I really enjoyed this small town Christmas story of opposites attracting. Cory is almost an anachronism; with a penchant for bow ties, wool trousers and suspenders, and an aficionado of hot chocolate made from scratch with real chocolate, cream and butter, he doesn’t have much in common with Alex, fresh from Chicago with his leather jacket and trouble at his back. They meet over a snow globe purchase at a holiday fair – the simple lone cottage surrounded by evergreens within the globe represents the hearth and home that Cory has longed for, and has only just come to realize how essential it is to have someone with whom to share it. Alex, for his part, never imagined that home and hearth was something that would ever be in the cards for him, until he meets Cory.

As with other works by Jackie North, this story is beautifully written, and the pleasure in reading it is derived from her prose – descriptions of the small town bustle, the dance at the Grange, the holiday fair, reading by firelight as the blizzard blows outside, real hot chocolate, and the simple honesty expressed in the feelings of yearning and attraction. This is a stop-and-smell-the-Christmas-roses story, and the fragrance is sweet. Highly recommended.

Alex is ready to start a new life, closer to his sister and away from the crowd he joined in Chicago. Cory is questioning himself after a recent breakup. The incident with the police felt awkward and unfinished.

Jackie North has become one of my favorite authors. Her book, HOT CHOCOLATE KISSES, is a wonderful holiday read. This story about Alex and Cory is so touching that it will boost your mood any time of the year. Author North is a master when it comes to superlative metaphors, e.g., "His hair spilled across the white pillow case like worried thoughts." This is worth the price of admission. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this author's series, A LOVE ACROSS TIME, and this book is one more perfect read to add to the list.

Finally a title that has an avid reader nerd land the sexy man of his dreams for Christmas. And somehow the author makes Dickens romantic, that is truly remarkable.
Please be sure to read this series if you’re a lover of romantic stories and a major Christmas fan.
