Can the warmth of the holiday season thaw an alien warrior’s frozen heart?

When Katerina is faced with an unwanted marriage, she takes her younger sister and runs, only to discover a small band of misfits hiding in some ancient ruins. Their fight for survival grows even harder as the holidays approach - until a massive horned warrior appears in their camp.

Subcommander Jackasarian D'Frostulen never seems to get things right. Stowing away on his leader’s ship - and crashing on the backwater planet of K.R.S. Three - is his worst mistake yet. Knowing that his career, and possibly his life, are over, he runs.

He finds an unlikely place with an enchanting female and her band of orphans. For the first time in his life he’s both wanted and needed. When unexpected difficulties arise, will he fight for the woman and children he’s come to love - or will he run again?

A sweet and steamy holiday tale featuring a feisty heroine, an unlikely hero, and, of course, a very happy ending! (Intended for mature audiences.)

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

This is the third book in the Horned Holidays series and I loved it just as much as the first two. All the characters are so well written and Jacks drone is another fun character that has a mind of it's own just like in the first two books although in this case it forms a strong protective bond with him. I have loved this series so far and look forward to reading more by this author.
