Season's HEAT:
Christmas Tide
One storm, one rescue, and one Christmas that changes everything.
When lifeboatman Owen Dalton rescues a sailor on Christmas Day, he doesn’t expect Brian Morgan — a grieving man stranded at sea with his father’s ashes. A violent storm cuts power to the harbor, leaving Owen with only one choice: bring Brian home.
In the warmth of a firelit cottage, grief softens into connection. Brian is mourning. Owen has spent years alone. As snow falls and the night deepens, their shared shelter becomes something more intimate and impossible to ignore. By morning, the storm is gone — but the question remains: was it just one night, or the start of something real?
Reviews
Very good book
This is a very good book. Two people helping each other when they each need that help. Highly recommend.
Their Unexpected Christmas Adventure
Owen’s plan was to spend Christmas Day by himself, but everything changed when he got the call to rescue someone stranded on the sea. Brian found himself in a distressing situation after his boat broke down in very bad conditions, but he was rescued just as he was about to give up. From the moment Owen laid eyes on Brian, he felt a sense of protectiveness over him, which led to him inviting him over to his home.
The pull towards each other heightened as Owen and Brian spent time together, which led to them getting to know each other better. However, the morning after brought reality back into Owen and Brian’s mind, as they had to return to their lives, but they parted on a positive note. This deeply moving story highlighted the fact that getting the right support when it is needed can help the grieving process and build the confidence required to get back to a normal life. I enjoyed reading this emotion-filled romance book and gladly recommend it.
MM Holiday Romance
Christmas Tide: A MM Holiday Romance by Ryan Moore is a warm, heartfelt read that leans into emotional growth as much as festive charm. I especially loved how Owen comes to realise just how important the situation is to Brian, his shift from casual support to genuine understanding feels natural and meaningful. Brian’s reaction, being completely overwhelmed by Owen’s offer of help, is handled with real tenderness and emotional honesty. That dynamic gives the story its heart and makes their romance especially satisfying.
