Review: True North – TA Moore

True North - TA Moore

Genre: Holiday, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book Despite what his co-workers say Belling, Montana paramedic Dylan Hollie does not hate Christmas.

That said, if Santa ever delivered a six-foot plus wall of hot muscle under his tree he’d be willing to reconsider. He’s even sourced an available one locally in the taciturn Somerset North and his impossibly blue eyes. So really, at this point the ball is in Santa’s court. … Read more
