My first thought when I laid my eyes on him? He’s still so gorgeous. Second thought? I hate him. I want to ruin his Christmas. My narcissistic billionaire ex was back in town. Just in time for the holidays. But his presence brought me anything but cheer. My heart thumped hard when I saw him at the airport. He was my first love and I used to trust him with my life.I sure as hell was not about to … trust him with my life.
I sure as hell was not about to make that same mistake twice.
Especially not as a cautious single mom.
I didn’t care if his perfectly chiseled body made me drool.
Or if his strong hands knew exactly how to hold me in place.
But then his grasp around my waist tightened.
And his piercing eyes told me that he wanted a second chance.
I couldn’t let myself give in.
Not now. Not ever.
Believe in the magic of Christmas!

Wow – I loved that this book included two brothers and their love stories. The first story is about a Sheila and Sly, and their love/hate for each other (more love than hate). The one thing I love about this author is that she brings in real life issues to her stories. Sheila and Sly story involves the dealing of family loss, divorce and dementia, which at the end has a happily ever after although a bit rushed.
At the end of the first book Gordon comes into play (very minimum), but then it jumps into the second book which is all about Gordon and Emma. The second book is more in line with sister of best friend to be off limits, but the attraction is there that is unstoppable. Both stories start with the bad boy billionaire/millionaire and strong-headed women who does not take much of anything from anyone.

Great two steamy love stories with lot of passion
Being successful, famous and reach should give you all the fells, right? Why then some people are suddenly felling lonely and there is no joy and peace in their lives? Like maybe there is something missing? Lane brothers have it all. So why suddenly they are waiting for Christmas miracle? Is there magic of the Christmas waiting for them? You need to read this two great stories to find out what is in the store for those naughty boys. I will only say that the heroines are not so innocent themselves and the chemistry between main characters and level of hotness is of off the charts.

ONE DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE!!!
OMG! Talk about not wanting an ending. I loved these little guys. You can’t help but fall in love with them. This is one exciting, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page turning bombshell that grabs your attention from the start. You can’t go wrong with this little boxset. The storylines are sharp and engaging. The twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises around every corner make for one enjoyable experience. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. Summer did an incredible job bringing this read to life. Thanks Summer for pulling these cute little guys together for us.
I enjoyed both stories and was hoping there would be a third one since there were 3 siblings mentioned. I’ve always enjoyed Summer Brooks’ stories and this one was no different. Summer has a way with details and finding characters’ actions and reactions to reveal to the reader a wonderful love story.

This book had wonderful characters and told of two brothers in two books. I wished the second book would have ended with Gordon and Emma going to his parents Christmas day. I enjoyed both of the books. I received this book as an ARC and I am voluntarily reviewing this book.

Sly’s family moved into Sheila’s neighborhood when they were kids. Sly was a nerd and Sheila was a “bully” with a snarky personality even as a grown-up. Sly decided to come home for Christmas and Sheila was dropping her son at the airport to travel to her ex’s house for the holiday, but she got a flat tire along the way. Since Sly had not arranged a ride home from the airport, he changed her tire for her and she gave him a ride. But as if the years had melted away, on the way home, they have an argument because of something he said and she threw him out of her car to walk the rest of the way. This is just the beginning … you’ll love the rest of the battle, um, Christmas story!
The second book is about Gordon and his best friend’s sister, Emma. Gordon is a football player. He and Emma meet at a party and the two lonely people are brought together. You’ll love the emotional rollercoaster as their story unfolds.
I enjoyed these two stories. They were well-written and I liked the characters, even with Sheila’s biting snarkiness. The story lines were good and kept the reader engaged. Grab your copy and enjoy these two stories!

This has two books, which I enjoyed, it is about two brothers who find their true loves. The first book is about young love over
the years from childhood to now, with the up and downs of growing up,leaving,bad marriage,taken care of parents,single mom,and a very rich ex who was a playboy! The second book is about younger brother, who is a NFL playboy who make it big
in football and has girls all over him, and comes to see that one is all he needs, even if her big brother thinks he not for her, lots of turns in both stories!

His Candy Cane is a two book delight. Sylvester and Sheila is a lovely story with characters who have a long history since childhood, but who wanted different things from life. I enjoyed the way Summer Brooks handled how Sly and Sheila reacted to the barriers that kept them apart. The problems they faced didn’t just disappear, but were more realistically handled together.
Gordon, Sly’s brother, and Emma, the sister of Gordon’s best friend, are two lonely people, even though they are each surrounded by people. He has a yearning which he can’t fill She has desires of her own, but being together is off limits. I recommend this book by Summer Brooks containing these two stories.

It was a great book steamy and had a past to show how they met
Sylvester and Sheila knew each other from age 10 and 11. She smoked cigarettes while he was a nerd. She bullied him over the years and he took it. They were neighbors whose parents struck up a great friendship. Sheila’s dad was a minister and Sly’s was a cop. Sly had a plan to make something of him after high school. When he came back from college, Sheila and he spent a summer together in every way. Then he left dropping her and everything they had. Years later, he is a billionaire who worked and drank too much. He was also a complete asshole! He decides to go home for Christmas and sees Sheila at the airport with a flat tire. She had just dropped her son off to her ex-husband. He fixes her flat and she is still a mean snippy woman. She ends up dropping him off sans his luggage after he made a snarky comment.
He ends up walking home and his dad suggests he go see her and apologize. Well, they end up hooking up again. That is where the real fun starts! This story is quite steamy, full of snark, and had me LOL!!! This is a story that will endear its characters to you, make you laugh, and cry at the same time. I LOVED the characters, fresh perspective and originality of the story and you will also! Now onto story two of Sly’s brother Gordon.
Story 2 – Gordon and Emma
Gordon was a pro football player who finally seized his chance to become well known. Emma is Gordon’s best friend’s Roger little sister.

Gordon decided to bring a plus one to hurt Emma. Roger put the three plus another man on the same team to discover five ornaments to win. Each ornament is one Emma and Roger’s dad made with a special meaning. Some wild things occur during the time they search for the ornaments. Will they win the game? Will they hook up again? Will Roger allow them if he finds out? Come read Gordon and Emma’s steam story! I received this book via Booksprout and am leaving a voluntary review!
This was one really great weekend. I enjoyed reading not one but two books by Summer Brooks. I couldn’t put it down! They are about Lane brothers placed in this festive season. Perfect stories to put us into the festive mood. Both stories are romantic reads that I secretly hope to have a follow up
Wow, two stories about the Lane brothers set in the Christmas Season. The first story is about the oldest brother Sylvester (Sly) who was the geek and became a billionaire in the computer field. During Christmas time Sly lands at the airport on a cold and snowy night. He meets Sheila, who he had a hate/love relationship with while growing up, whose car has a flat tire and they barter – he’ll fix her tire for a ride home. On the drive home, they start arguing and she throws him out of the car to walk the rest of the way home. The next day he goes to Sheila to apologize. Can they find a way to forgive the hurts of the past and start over again? The second story is about Gordon who is a football player who’s career is skyrocketing when Roger decides to quit and retire. Gordon meets Emma the sister of Roger when he decides to stay at Roger and his wife house during the Christmas time. They get closer as they play a treasure hunt that involves the theme of Christmas. Can Gordon who’s been hurt by a old love and now the pressures of the media open up to embrace Emma who loves him? Both stories are romantic with angst as the brothers struggle to find their HEA. I volunteer to read and review this ARC.
This book was such a great read. Loved the characters and storyline so much. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!
Sly and Shelia grew up next door to each other. They had a unique relationship that developed into so much more but ended when Sly moved to the city to make his mark. It’s been years since they have seen each other and their lives went in different directions. Now he is back for the holidays and when they reconnect, it’s like it was yesterday. Will Sly and Shelia get a second chance to have a lifetime of love.
