For Tori, the holiday season was rarely merry and bright. Raised by an alcoholic mother after her father’s death, Christmas never held much joy for her. But Scott wants to change all that for his bride-to-be. His only goal is to show her the season can still be full of joy and light. However, in spite of Scott’s best efforts, nothing goes according to plan. The holiday season is shaping up to be … is shaping up to be a disaster. That is, until a stranger unexpectedly bestows upon him the one gift that could be the miracle he needs to save Christmas.
Tori stopped believing in miracles a long time ago. Can Scott finally restore her long-lost faith in the holiday season?
Dream by the Fire is a 27,000 word Christmas novella and an extension of Scott and Tori’s trilogy, (but can be read as a standalone). It contains adult language, and steamy scenes by the fire and a happy holiday ending to warm your heart. Meant for a mature audience.

Dream by the Fire was a perfect Christmas read. It is part of the Fire and Fury series, and the books are not a stand-alone series. However, I have not yet read the third book, and I don’t feel as though it affected this story.
Okay, so the holidays are over, but this one will keep you warm all winter long. Give it a go, if you love stories with heart and steam.
I’d recommend this novella to romance loves, that like MCs with an edge to them. This isn’t a sweet romance, but it will make you smile — my other suggestion to at least read the first book before picking up this one. I don’t think you’d be lost if you don’t, but you will appreciate the story and the characters issues and struggles better.
Hawt! Dream by the Fire is a novella so it’s way too short, for my taste.
Why did I read it? You ask…
Avery Kingston wrote it, that’s why! If you have read the Fire and Fury series then I’m sure you can relate with me. If you have not then you need to get with program, immediately.
Normally, I’m not a big fan of novellas. But I cannot and will not pass up a chance to read anything regarding some of my favorite characters, Tori and Scott.
Avery put together some of the edited scenes that were dropped from the series. In the process she gifted us with a novella that is one of a kind and quite hilarious. When I say hilarious, I assure you I’m not lying. Do you know what happens when you bust out laughing right after you take a sip of a drink? I do and it’s a bit messy.
The storyline is lovely. The simplicity of living day to day with your ride or die partner. Tori and Scott are perfect and flawed. Avery created another masterpiece with this book and I recommend ,if you’re reading this review, that you add it to your TBR list asap.
Christmas time with Scott and Tori is quite an adventure! For being a novella this is packed with so much drama that only Avery can give and has you laughing and crying within the same chapter.
I FREAKING LOVED IT!!
Their Christmas does not go as planned but nothing in life ever does. Scott wants to make this Christmas one of Tori’s most memorable for her since her childhood was not. I love that Scott loves Tori and wants to see her happy. The shopping for Christmas stuff… Didn’t see that coming, poor Scott. The things we never think about, but has consequences. Getting a glimpse into their lives during the holidays and what what can happen when your crazy friends come over.
The thought that goes into each other’s gifts made me tear up, I really loved it. They truly get each other.
I still don’t like Maureen, there I said it!! Just nope!!
But most of all we get to catch up with everyone.Blaze definitely makes an impact wherever he is. Lol!! Blaze is definitely one of a kind!! (Can’t wait for his story)
