About this listen
A nice boy gets naughty…
Redheaded freshman Jeremy Cherry Rourke is certainly living up to his childhood nickname, although still being inexperienced is the least of his concerns. After coming out, his parents barely talk to him. He hasn't made any friends at university. Worst of all, he's about to spend Christmas completely alone in an empty dorm.
Jeremy clearly needs a fairy godfather, so football captain Max Pimenta takes him under his wing to help him find his dating groove. But Jeremy's wound way too tight. He's too vulnerable. Max can't trust some random guy with him. He needs to take care of Jeremy himself and introduce him to no-pressure exploration. It's not about romance or feelings—he's just doing the kid a favor.
Max is definitely not falling for this lonely, beautiful boy. No way.
And it's not like he can leave Jeremy all alone for the holidays. He'll bring him home to his family's maple syrup farm—strictly as friends since his parents have rules. No more fooling around. No more eager, breathless fun. No more making Jeremy shiver and blush with suggestive whispers in his ear. No more sweeter-than-sugar kisses. All nice. No more naughty.
But Jeremy's sleeping right across the hall, and Max wants him for himself. The twelve days of Christmas will last an eternity if they don't break the rules.
Shhh. No one has to know…
Merry Cherry Christmas is a feel-good holiday MM romance from Keira Andrews featuring a nervous nerd and protective jock, opposites attracting, first times, and of course a happy ending.

Story
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—except ex-Marine Logan is jobless and getting evicted. Worse, he’s a new single dad with a stepson who hates him. A kid needs stability—not to mention presents under the tree—and Logan’s desperate. Then he meets lonely Seth and makes a deal. Can Logan temporarily pretend to be live-in boyfriends to increase Seth’s chances at a promotion? If it provides a roof over their heads for the holidays, hell yeah. Logan considers himself straight—he doesn’t count occasional hookups with guys—but he can fake it.

I'm the starting quarterback for the Portland Pirates, and I have a thing for my son's teacher. Except I didn't know the cute blond on the beach with the giant dog was my kid's teacher until two months later at Open House. Christian took my breath away during my vacation and introduced me to things I never knew could feel so good and be so right. I think he just might be the one who inspires me to tell the world that this NFL quarterback is bisexual and in love with a man.

Story
Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell's Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory's barren desert—and into an unexpected opportunity. It isn't the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it's exactly the job he needs.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

Living in Christmas Town doesn’t make me a fan of the holidays. Quite the opposite. In fact, eleven months out of the year, I’m perfectly happy running my bookstore in peace and quiet. Of course, that changes in December when it’s mistletoe madness and mayhem. Ugh. But this year, there’s a new cowboy in town and it’s not as easy to grumble about…anything. I admit, Hudson is handsome and hunky, but everyone knows I’m not myself till January, so he’ll have to buzz off and charm someone else.

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

Tor Narrates Like Reading a Bullet List

This one was extra fun for me. I did my graduate degree at the University of Toronto, so this story felt like home. I’ve also lived in rural Ontario and we used to go to the maple sugar farm each spring to see the sap running. The entire story made me nostalgic – in a good way.
And the plot was great as well. I’ve landed on my ass after slipping on ice. Most Canadians have. Now, I didn’t have a Max to help me up, like Jeremy did. Or a Max to walk me home to take care of me. Or a Max to decide to show me how much fun sex stuff can be.
But I need to step back. Jeremy’s just come out to his family – who are back in Victoria, on the other side of the country. It didn’t go well, and he’s feeling particularly lonely as Christmas approaches. He’s not going home, and is facing the season alone in his dorm.
Max sees naïve Jeremy and feels the need to be the younger man’s wingman. Soon, though, Max realizes he doesn’t want to release Jeremy into the wilds of dating (aka the gay men of Church Street and dating apps). Sure, Jeremy might meet a great guy who sees how wonderful he is. Or he might meet a man who’ll take advantage of his inexperience. So Max decides to, uh, give Jeremy a hand.
Then, in the middle of their friends-with-benefits growing relationship, Max decides to bring Jeremy home with him. But no hanky panky. His parents have strict rules about that. So everyone has to stay in their own bedrooms at night. No touching. Well, okay maybe a stolen moment. No getting naked. Well, okay… Yeah, you can fill in the blank. Suddenly, keeping their hands off each other is nearly impossible.
I loved this story because I got my happy ending and I got to see the kinky Santa and his elf from a previous book. Looking good there, guys. I’m hopeful Jeremy and Max might have cameos in a future book because I really loved them and was so happy for them.
Finally, I have to mention Kirt Graves. He’s just a fantastic narrator and always does such a great job with Keira’s books. This is a treat I hope is repeated every Christmas.

Having read this in ebook form, I was not surprised by anything but dang, did Kurt Graves do a fantastic job.
So here we have Cherry, a freshman in college that one day runs into Max, a senior football star who steps on his glasses, making this a meet-cute trope that I love
So Max decides that he will help Cherry make friends and not die a virgin.
Y'all know what happens, these two numbskulls fall in love (yes it's instalove) and everything works out.
When I first read this, I was not sure why going out with someone was featured so prominently but the second time was the charm. I get it now.

This is the perfect holiday read/listen, adorkably sweet and sexy fun! Fairly low angst and absolutely hilarious. Keira Andrews is good at weaving a bit of humor through many of her stories – but I was seriously laughing out loud through much of this book. This was many of my favorite tropes – yet unique in a lot of ways. While Max is comfortably out & definitely sexually experienced, he’s also sensitive to Jeremy’s concerns and perspective.
I loved Max’s family, especially his relationship with his sister Meg. Fans of Andrew’s Santa Daddy will be treated to a cameo by Nick & Hunter who live in the neighboring farm. It’s not necessary to have read it to enjoy this, but if you like to read chronologically, you’ll want to start there.
This really is low angst with most of the drama coming from Max grappling with his after-graduation plans and Jeremy navigating a less than supportive family. While set in a very short amount of time (less than 3 weeks, I think) – Max & Jeremy do spend a lot of time getting to know each other outside the bedroom, which really solidifies their HEA. Andrews also gives us a lovely epilogue.
Kirt Graves was wonderful. He does a great job with the shy & bumbling Jeremy as well as the confident Max. It was just as fun and sexy as last year. This will definitely be an annual listen.
