A More Than Mayhem Christmas by Jay McLean is live!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The book I never knew I needed \u2013 this was a fantastic return to the More Than<\/i> world as we see the characters from one of my all-time fave series (now in their late 20s) all gather together for a night of Christmas mayhem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you get when you have one group of friends, one small cabin, and one night to celebrate Christmas together?<\/p>\n

You get mayhem.<\/p>\n

Absolute, chaotic mayhem.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often the entire gang is together. Some have moved away to chase their dreams, and others have fled in the search for who they truly are. Most have stayed, creating a home and a future right where it all began.<\/p>\n

Being reunited should be all fun and games, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

Because in the space of one night, buried emotions are exposed, confessions are made, and adversities are tested.<\/p>\n

So, what started as a casual catch up with old friends quickly became so much more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been ten-ish years (in this world) since the events of the first book, and each of our couples have been through ups and downs, and I loved this opportunity to see where they\u2019re at. It\u2019s an emotional one, with some heartbreaking but very real struggles, and there are some truly heartfelt moments as they support each other as always, but OMG, this book is hilarious. The banter, the pranks, and even drunk Lucy, I laughed so much and loved every moment of this reunion.<\/p>\n

With ten different POVs, we get the perspectives of all of the main characters plus two special guest appearances, and I loved getting so up close and personal with each of them. There\u2019s SO much love in this group, and they are just magic together. And bonus – the special guests hint at a new story to come, and I am here for it.<\/p>\n

Definitely not a standalone, this is for fans of the series, and it’s such an awesome read, I loved every moment. Thank you, Jay McLean!<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/p>\n
