BENJI

Bastian Cole. He’s the ex who broke my heart, the man who up and left without an explanation or so much as a goodbye, just a note saying he was sorry. Seriously? You’re sorry? Yep, in one fell swoop he crushed any joy I had in my soul, ruined my faith in true love, and destroyed the dream we shared of running our very own BnB in Mulligan’s Mill.

That was three years ago, but those shattered dreams are about to turn into my worst nightmare. For not only have my parents, Lonnie and Ronnie, stayed in contact with Bastian all this time. To my utter dismay and anger, I now find out they’ve invited him to spend Christmas with us in Mulligan’s Mill.

While my parents seem utterly clueless to the hurt this man has inflicted upon me, my cousin Connie thinks the best way to get through the festive season is to invent a fake boyfriend. Meanwhile, I seem doomed to spend the worst Christmas of my life with not only my dysfunctional family… but the ex I never wanted to see again… the man I never stopped loving, despite what he did to me.

BASTIAN

When Lonnie and Ronnie invited me to spend Christmas with them in Mulligan’s Mill, the idea terrified me. I knew what Benji thought of me, and who could blame him? I broke his heart, I wrecked his dreams, I torched the perfect romance and walked away as it all went up in flames.

I had my reasons, but would Benji ever understand… would he ever give me a chance to explain… could he ever forgive me?

There was only one way to find out, and that is to return to Mulligan’s Mill. I might be wishing for a Christmas miracle, but maybe, just maybe, Benji and I could reignite the love, the dream, the future we once had. If we can just survive Christmas at the Larsons first.

The Ex in Xmas is the fourth book in Small Town MM Romance series Mulligan’s Mill… a small town with the biggest of hearts!

    Robin really outdid himself with this one. I love Mulligans Mill so much. Maggie is my fav comfort character. Between her, Connie, Great Nan, Aunt Bea, I was cackling this whole book. There was a lot of emotion here, angst, regret, pain. I found these characters to be complex and unexpected. This was the best one yet in the series, and I’ve loved them all.

    This was a fun and quirky return to Mulligans Mill as Benji and Bastian try to see if they can repair old hurts and their love!

    Bastian broke Benji’s heart when he walked away from him 3 years and now he has returned to Mulligans Mill to try to explain himself and make things right. Benji really has no desire to be around the man that hurt him but his family is determined to bring them back together.

    I thought this was an overall fun read with the very quirky antics of those around Benji but it also had some big emotional moments as well. When Bastian finally reveals his truths my heart broke for both men in those moments for what they’d been through. It’s easy to feel the love they have for each other despite their time apart and the issues they’ve had. This is one couple that definitely deserves their HEA and I was very happy with how their story comes together. Good laughs and feels - overall a fun time!

    Welcome back to the small town of Mulligan’s Mill. We have met Benji as he owns the BNB. He is so sad and misses his ex Bastian as he thought he was his end game and going to live happily ever after. He has such a broken heart. One that might never be mended even with time.

    Bastian just up and left Benji one day with no explanation. His heart is broken. He keeps on contact with Benji parents and is invited for Christmas.

    This story cracked me up with the quirky family and friends. When the truth comes out it hurts Benji. But in true Robin fashion, we get their HEA.

    Be prepared to laugh, giggle, and snort at the ruckus that happens in town.
    Thank you Robin for another fabulous addition to Mulligans Mill.

    Well, be ready to feel all the emotions in this latest installment of Mulligans Mill. Bastain made a choice that will break not only him but his first love Benji, and now it's time to right past wrongs. When Bastian returns to Mulligan’s Mill, Benji is not ready for the onslaught of emotions that comes with it or to move past it when he knows there's something Bastian is still hiding. And oh boy, when it all comes to head, be prepared for a heart racing ride indeed. Paired with all the unique quirks that you know and love of this small town with pains that are hard to move forward from. Both these men need to work through these emotions to be truly happy, but with the love and support of this crazy beautiful town their is hope.

    I thought that this one was just ok. While I did enjoy the overall story, there some parts of the story that really didn't work well for me.

    I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

    This is such a Mulligans Mill read with humour and chaotic randomness but it works!

    Benji and Bastian is a second chance slow burn love story with low heat but lots and lots of laughs.

    Sterling needed a boot up the butt but can certainly see why Bastian needed and 'used' him at the time.

    love hurts and mistakes are made by both MCs but it also wins and we get HEA's

    and the playlist is awesome!

    The Ex in Xmas by Robin Knight was a sweet second chance romance. The push and pull between Bastian and Benji created some wonderful tension scenes. The secondary characters were great and created some humorous moments. The grand gesture at the end was unique and fun. Overall, The Ex in Xmas was a fantastic read!

    I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I get Bastian’s reason for leaving but it was wrong. I get why Benji’s parents stayed in contact…but it was wrong. Benji was left behind with no explanation, no nothing. And he is supposed to just get over it because of Bastian’s selfishness? Normally I love a second chance but this one didn’t sit right with me. The humor and the serious nature of Bastian’s secret don’t magically make it all go away. This is the only book in this series I have read and will probably stay that way.

    Yet another good story in this great series. Each book can be read standalone. This one did not disappoint, though the action started slowly. The MC is perpetually angry, and the side characters are hilarious. The story is fun in most parts, but it also deals with some big poignant and sad moments that will squeeze your heart.
