Tentacles All the Way: A Winter Holiday MM Tentacle Romance Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 72 ratings

A crush on his best friend.

An artist unable to create.

A month in snow-covered New York.

How to spend magical Christmas time with your bestie without falling in love?

Marinos. Tentacled, dominant, secretly in love with his best friend.

How do I come out as pan to my gay best friend without telling him about my crush on him?

That’s right, my bestie from art college in Germany, the reason for my awakening, is going to stay with me for Christmas. No matter how tempted I am, I can’t crawl into his bed. Our friendship will suffer if he finds out that I know about his secret submissive side and I’ve been obsessed with learning how I could fulfill that for him. In my quest to become his dream dominant, I found out I have more in common with my kinky krampus friend than I ever thought. How would he react if he learned about that side of me? Worse yet, what will he think of me when he sees my failed career as a painter?

Kert. Horned and horny, burning for his tentacled bestie.

Five years of making eyes at my tentacled Greek God of a roommate, then three more of us keeping in touch long-distance. Now, I’m about to visit him, spend my favorite holiday in magical New York City, and find the inspiration I desperately need to continue sculpting.

I hoped face-to-face time with Marin would cure me of my infatuation with my straight friend. Instead, all I can think of is his tentacles around me, taking charge, using me however he likes.

Would he be shocked to learn about my submissive side? I can’t risk tainting our friendship.

But most of all, Marin can’t know that I’ve become famous while he didn’t didn’t find success. He’d resent me.

Will our reunion prove to be a Christmas disaster?

The book includes:
- a tentacle shifter
- a krampus who loves Christmas
- Christmas in NYC
- ice skating
- best friends to lovers
- snowed-in
- tentacle lovin’
- D/S elements

    This was a cute story. It’s set in the same universe as a few others by this author but can be completely read as a stand-alone. This was a really sweet best friends to lovers story that was slightly slow paced but really spicy once the characters got together.

    If you like gay romance among creatures roaming the world of humans in their own unique blend of humanoid and alien-like beings, you will want to read this book. I have often wondered what the appeal was of books about creatures with tentacles, but after reading this book, I can see it is like having your own personal harem in one being. Was this an allegory for gay/trans people in future???
    Kert and Marinos were roomies in art college in Germany. Because Kert is German he taught Marin what he needed to know of the language to get by and together they were a good match. Kert is red with horns on his head and a long tail. Marin is a Greek cephalopod with multiple tentacles, lavender in color and three hearts. He also has another very distinctive characteristic which cannot be shared in this review. Kert is visiting Marin at Christmas time in NYC where Marin lives and works. When they come to know each other and their desires better, will they be able to stay together? This book is very steamy once these two accept their attraction to one another. Mostly comical watching Kert and Marin but there is one very poignant scene at the children’s hospital that may bring a tear to your eye. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book.

    A DELIGHTFULLY SWEET AND HAPPY READ!

    This was a great and steamy read that I just couldn't put down. Marin and Kert are so enjoyable, and the writing is so good.

    We meet Marinos in New York City as he waits for Kert, best friend and Krampus, to arrive from Germany. This is the first time they've seen each other in person in three years. Marin has a lot to say to Kert, but will he get the courage to do so in time?

    I really loved this story for different reasons. Having your bestie, being in love with your bestie, that kind of friendship to lovers story will always be in the top of the books I'll read. The push and pull of will they, won't they is angsty yet not on the edge of your seat angsty. Secondly, I don't know if you count tentacles as monster-ish, but I'm really loving monsters right now. The differences in how they're built, but the sameness in which they fall in love. Also, this is more of a continuation story, but continuation isn't the right word. Marinos is younger brother to Ner, who we met in Tentacles Rock, and older brother to Spiros, who we should see in December 2025. When I figured out that Marinos was Ner's brother, I was elated. I love the type of stories where we meet family and stay in the world just a little longer. For me coming back to Tinsels and Tentacles at Christmas time for a holiday themed series is so much fun.

    What's not to love about this world with a mix of species trying to find what we all want in this life? Marinos & Kert's love story started in the uni and bloomed into some more years later when the besties saw each other again. Kert had a crush on Marinos and thought it would die down with time but it only made him realize that he didn't have a crush on his best friend he was in love with him. Marinos always cared for Kert but didn't want to throw sex into the picture because he didn't want to lose a best friend.

    Kert came to New York with a plan to tell Marinos that he wanted his tentacles and not in a best-friend way. Marinos was finding it harder not to touch his tempting best friend and maybe sex for now would be something they could both enjoy. He knew what Kert wanted and needed in sex and he had the tentacles to get the job done.

    I love the flow of their story, and the tentacle sex scenes are fire! I read those scenes a few times because they set a wild movie in my head, and now I want my own tentacles mate. I want to dive into Marinos' older brother book, Spiros, because I can't get enough of these tentacle brothers.

    There’s a lot to enjoy here: Marin and Kert have a strong, vibrant connection that works on both emotional and physical levels. There’s kink, there’s caring, there’s art– and there’s an equally vibrant backdrop (NYC) to enjoy as their connection develops from friends to lovers. Well worth a read.

    *I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

    Part of a multi-author series (Tinsel and Tentacles 2.0), but can be read as a standalone. Paranormal. Best friends to lovers. Quick read. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.

    Visiting his best friend and former university roommate for the holidays, Kert is hoping to finally get over his longtime crush, but being with Marin feels different this time. Marin wants to tell Kert that he wants more for their relationship, and about his long held feelings for something more, but he’s not sure if Kert is willing to uproot his life so that they can be together.

    This story was equal parts sweet and spicy, Kert and Marin’s friendship really shines through since they have many years of friendship before they try to make the leap to intimacy. I really enjoyed how close they were, how well they knew each other and how easily they built a new dynamic.
