From the Dreamspinner Press 2018 Advent Calendar (Warmest Wishes) Warren's Peace by Emjay Haze | Cat's Review & #giveaway @Dreamspinners @emjayhaze @TTCBooksandmore ~ '

Celebrating the end-of-year holidays doesn't always mean sleighs, snow, and snuggling to ward off the cold. How about making merry when it's just as warm (or hot) outside as inside romantic hearts? Twinkle lights in palm trees, unity cups on the sideboard, bonfires in the backyard, eggnog by the pool, and no chimneys to be found... just the warmest wishes of the holidays bringing lovers together around the world.

A huge part of the world celebrates end-of-the-year holidays that aren't anything like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." In the southern hemisphere, it's not even winter!

Holiday reading fun! More than 400,000 words of romantic fiction in 31 stories that would sell individually for a total of $89.69.

Warren's Peace was a good story about older men starting new relationships.

Warren's friends and family get him tickets for a singles cruise. He has reservations, not dating since his wife died two years prior and had cancer two years before that. His kids are grown and want him to have a life of his own. He isn't sure since he dated men before Sarah and his tastes lean towards men and he isn't sure how to tell his children. On the flight to the cruise, he meets fetcher a sexy businessman.

Fletcher is a mystery shopper for vacations and hotels. He doesn't like flying and the nice man beside him relaxes him on the take-off and landing. he was in for a surprise when he meets Warren on the cruise he is working on.

I liked both Warren and Fletcher. The characters are interesting and relateable. I also loved warren's kids. The story is interesting and realistic. It is a good, heartwarming holiday story.

Emjay Haze is a Pennsylvania girl living in a Virginia world, growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs and moving to Northern Virginia to follow her now husband of twenty-plus years. She has two kids in college, a ten-month-old puppy named Max, a black-and-white cat named Tux, a gecko named Rex, a yellow tang called Reggie, and we hear the eels are coming this week. The family pastime is baseball, specifically the Nationals. They are also huge Redskins fans and love of classic rock.

Emjay graduated with a degree in Creative Writing in 2015 after realizing it was the only thing she really wanted to do. She has a wide and diverse work history in the fields of travel, hotel management, high-tech communications, web development, real estate, and the nonprofit health care industry where she has held positions such as travel agent, hotel concierge, web programmer, Realtor, account manager, and many, many others, giving her a varied and unique set of experiences that she draws upon in her stories and characters.

She fell in love with the m/m romance genre after discovering the world of fanfiction several years ago and hasn’t looked back. Her family keeps asking when her when she’ll write someone they can read, but she’s still having too much fun with her boys.

Her goal is to broaden the minds of those who might not normally pick up a gay romance because it’s more about the person than the sexuality. She’ll take you on a roller-coaster journey, but you’ll always get a happy ending.
