The entire Dubrovsky family heads to snowy Russia for a family Christmas. Brennen fears Dmitri’s homophobic father’s rejection. Dmitri believes when they present their daughter, that all will be forgiven, but steps into a mess upon arriving with his husband. Instead of greeting Dmitri and Brennen with hugs and kisses, Grandma Dubrovsky whisks baby Dominika away, leaving them alone with Dmitri’s … Dmitri’s angry father. Can they stay if it means abiding by his rules?
This is a story of love, forgiveness, and miracles during the holiday season. Dmitri and Brennen overcome issues which have been troubling their relationship, each growing and learning how to best be what the other needs. There are many surprises during the holiday season for all of them.
This is best if read after Make Me (Book 3 in the Rent Me series.) If you read it as a standalone, you will surely wish you had read the first three books.

Dimitri and Brennan take their daughter to visit family in Russia for Christmas, but it does not go as planned. The characters are strong and grow even more so as the story unfolds, changing the dynamic of their relationship to a strong, supportive and protective bubble. Totally enjoyed the banter and situations they get into. The storyline deals with misconceptions, family beliefs and love that is so strong. The characters are memorable and work together in an easy loving way. Great ending.

This is a sweet Christmas story about loving, learning, growing, embracing the season, and (possibly) a Christmas miracle. Will a grandchild break down the walls of anger and homophobia? I loved this Christmas travel story and learning about some different customs. The blurb is correct – I don’t think this works well as a stand alone. You miss too much history. Read the other books first.

Read how the family dynamics develop Also Dmitri has a big surprise for Brennen whem they visit Ireland after American Christmas in Russia.

Dmitri and Brennen visit Dmitri’s family in Russia with their child Dominika. However its not a nice smooth trip to visit the family.
Dmitri’s father is homophobic and will not accept Brennan as part of the family, causing issues into their already troubling relationship. Dmitri needs to play nicer, being a Dom/Daddy doesn’t mean you have to be bossy and overpowering in everyday life.
Will they survive this holiday or will it drive a wedge even further between them.
Good book and a look at how families can come together even at Christmas, love how the brothers stuck together, expect a few tears or at least holding your breathe when you read certain parts.
I normally listen to audios between 1.15 and 1.35 speed, this one I had to turn down to 0.95. Even at that rate it was still a bit fast but I think a lot was down to his accent. But I made it work for me.
