S.E.X. Review~ Christmas Wish List by N.R. Walker



In need of work and a change of scenery, Aussie ex-pat Jayden Turner agrees to a short-term chef position at a Bed and Breakfast over the Christmas holidays. After all, how hard could it be in a small town in the mountains of Montana? What he finds is a grand old house in a beautiful town, and his new boss is gorgeous, gay, and single.

After his divorce, Carter “Cass” Campion bought his great-aunt’s rundown country manor in his home town, and he’s determined to get it ready for the busy holiday period. Recently out as gay, he’s been focused solely on his business and hasn’t had time for a man. Not that many gay men come through Hartbridge . . .

As his new clients arrive, and being away from his two kids, celebrating Christmas is the last thing on Cass’s mind, but his new chef has other ideas. And if there’s one thing on his Christmas Wish List this year, Jayden can make it come true.


Just when I thought author N.R. Walker could not make me love her work anymore, she wrote a lovely and sweet Christmas trope set in an idyllic little town. Christmas Wish List was as quaint as the town it was set in.

Divorced and subsequently now true to himself, Cass’s dream of running his seasonal B & B came to fruition. The only think lacking was a loving partner and a temporary chef. Good thing the chef- Jayden- turned out to be so much more.

I loved the premise that everything had to do with lists. As a list person myself, I found the humor the author instilled in each character and their take on a pro/con.

Jayden was funny and fun loving. His matter-of-fact attitude and carefree spirit allowed the storyline to be light and airy even when the topic was serious. On the other hand, Cass’s serious façade was tempered by his desire to love and be loved, which in turn called to Jayden’s soul.

The secondary characters, especially Cass’s children added a festive air to the book. Ms. Walker’s ability to set the scene transported me to the festively decorated small town and I fell in love with place and people.
