TMI by JE Birk, Rachel Ember, & Leslie McAdam

 

Two firefighters. One twink. Can an evil twin, a small-town holiday competition, and revealed secrets bring them together?

I returned to Vermont to write an article about Mayor Doug McEmbirk and his town’s battle to win their local Holiday-Off. Even before I knew him, I had a crush on him. Because have you seen the man? OMG. With his big biceps and easy charm, Doug’s straight out of my firefighter fantasies. But I wasn’t planning on my inconvenient attraction to his scowly, grumpy roommate, Zeke, who’s the identical twin of my high school bully. That’s… messy.

Life gets even messier when Zeke confesses to the entire town that he’s bisexual—and that he’s been in love with Doug for years. Problem is, Doug’s straight.

Or is he?

Now, I’m on a mission to bring these two hot men together. I volunteer my services as a love coach, because these burly guys can’t even kiss without my assistance. Except both men seem to be into me as well. This is one confusing holiday season.

Things only get more complicated when meddling newspaper editors and kidnapped cows become involved. Not to mention some accidental texts and eggnog-fueled confessions. Will Zeke, Doug, and I be able to navigate our newfound feelings? Or is this relationship as doomed as the Holiday-Off competition appears to be?

TMI is a holiday m/m/m romance that includes a grandma-chic house, lots of cheer, and many OTT fantasies. It stars Max, a journalist without a filter, Zeke, a grumbly Viking pirate, and Doug, a himbo mayor who makes excellent cinnamon rolls. Cameos from Sherbert and the guys from ILYBSM included. HEA guaranteed.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

These three authors are an amazing combo to make a hilarious, holiday m/m/m romance. I could not put this story down and I laughed the whole way through! One of the best parts of this books were the group chats between our main characters, Zeke, Doug, and Max. The amount of accidentally sending the wrong text to their group had me in stitches. In this story we start with the familiar faces (if you read ILYBSM) that are Zeke and Doug. Best friends and firefighters, these two are inseparable. But Zeke has kept a pretty big secret from Doug. He’s bisexual and in love with Doug. But telling him and ruining their friendship? Too big a risk. For now. They’ll meet that missing piece of their puzzle when Max comes to town. Max is a freelance journalist who returns to Vermont to write an article about Doug, who is mayor, and the Holiday-Off competition between their rival town. Max has avoided coming home because of the bad memories of high school where he was bullied. And his biggest tormentor happens to have the face of his one of his new roommates: Zeke. Complicated. But with Doug, Zeke, and Max living together and getting to know one another, things are about to change for all of them. And that change can only occur with the three of them by one another’s sides. I adored this story! It was just a fun read. The romance between these three was so sweet. Zeke finally gets the courage to speak up, Doug is realizing what has been in front of him this whole time, and Max can’t help but develop feelings for the two of them as well. And of course, Zeke and Doug have feelings for Max as well. They know how special he is and the chemistry between the three of them is everything. I also loved the humor in this book! It is called TMI for a reason and it’s hilarious. Plus if you read ILYBSM, then you know there are some quirky animals that will of course make the page. Such a fun story! And I really hope these three authors work together for another holiday book next year!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
