A himbo reindeer went hiking… It came upon a midnight clear that Santa told me in no uncertain terms I had to take a vacation this year. The thought of laying around on some beach doing nothing was my idea of hell, so hiking the Appalachian Trail was my plan. Everything was great until a near-sighted barn owl sent me careening down the side of a mountain in a snowstorm. Now, I’m tucked away in his cozy cabin while my leg and shoulder heal. Alden Kirk is the adorable owl shifter, and he’s sincerely sorry, seriously attentive, and did I mention he’s adorable? He keeps telling me how smart and clever I am, but he’s just being nice. Right? I’ve always been the heavy lifter, not the smart one. But the longer I stay, the harder it is to resist my sweetly sexy feathered friend. Would someone so smart and sweet even consider a big himbo like me? A nerdlet owl is falling… Okay, so I went flying in the snow without my special glasses. What’s the worst that could happen? Leave it to me to make a common-senseless decision and cause serious injury to one of Santa’s freaking reindeer a few months before Christmas. Hale Comet is a big sexy beast of a guy, but he’s sweet, kind, funny and clever even when he doesn’t mean to be. I can parse a sentence and write a novel, but when it comes to my growing feelings for Hale, I’m clueless. I have to help him heal so he can get back home, but the longer I spend with him the more I’m certain I can't just let him walk out of my life. Would a gorgeous guy that’s so kind and important even consider a nothing nerd like me? Hale and Alden might fight their feelings, but in the end they’ll learn that hearts are gonna heart, fate is gonna fate, and mates are gonna mate! Comet is the fifth book in the multi-author M/M Shifter Mpreg Christmas romance series Mated at the North Pole, featuring Santa’s reindeer who find their mates while on a mandatory vacation.
