Dasher: An mm mpreg holiday shifter romance (Mated at the North Pole)
£4.99
Christmas isn’t the only thing coming this holiday season…
Dasher comes from a long line of reindeer used to pull Santa sleighs. It’s an honor to lead the team each Christmas Eve, bringing joy around the world, and there’s nothing more fulfilling than teaching young shifters. But balancing both positions is exhausting, and he’s informed he must take a mandatory vacation.
When Dasher’s friend finds him an all-inclusive resort for a great price, he signs up. What could be better than sitting on the beach, drinking margaritas, and getting some sun? On the day he’s scheduled to leave, he looks at his reservation more carefully and discovers a mix-up. He’s not going to the sun-filled beach, he’s off to the mountains. Oh well, a vacation is a vacation.
Omega Byron is working at his uncle’s dilapidated mountainside resort for yet another Christmas. After the start-up he was working for went belly up, he has no choice. And besides, his uncle could use the help. Business isn’t what it used to be, and the resort is barely making ends meet.
When a hottie checks in, Byron plans to keep it professional. That is, until a hiking accident changes everything.
Dasher is the first book in the multi-author M/M Mpreg Christmas romance series Mated at the North Pole, featuring Santa’s reindeer who find their mates while on a mandatory vacation. Dasher features an alpha reindeer balancing too much on his plate, a human who has no idea shifters exist, old fashioned mountainside resort fun, Christmas magic, s’mores a plenty, a Christmas tree three sizes too big, an adorable kitten, the best Christmas present ever—true love, fated mates, an adorable baby, and guaranteed happy ever afters. If you like your shifters hawt, your omegas strong, and your mpreg with heart, download your copy today!

What a lovely festive read.
I thought the characters were great. Byron is a cute human omega who is kind but hardworking. Dasher is in independent, strong willed alpha reindeer.
I loved that there was a plot to the story besides the romance. The characters developed nicely throughout the story. It’s was a bit of a slow burn but it’s short so you’re not waiting long for some bedroom action.
I also loved the Dashing jokes. They made me giggle every time. There was loads of little family traditions throughout the story which made it so cozy and homely!

Never disappointed with shifter books from Colbie, Lorelei or Wendy and this one is a heartwarming Christmas story. The main characters Byron and Dasher were so cute together. A lovely mpreg read with some steam but plenty of fun.

This was a fantastic story. Dasher was an alpha reindeer shifter who was reluctantly sent on holiday by his bosses. When he arrives he meets human omega, Byron and know immediately he is his fated mate. Now he just has to show Byron they are forever. Sweet, steamy, romantic story with amazing chemistry, true love, fated mates, fun,laughter and a wonderful HEA.

This was a new one for me, I have read shifter books before but it has been bears or wolfs. To read one where one of the main characters is literally one of Santa’s reindeer?? Let’s go!!
Dasher is the number 1 reindeer in Christmas Village and helps train new reindeer recruits, but he’s burning the candle at both ends and is told to take a vacation before he runs out of energy. He books a lovely island resort with sun and beach, but something happens and he ends up in a mountain resort in desperate need of an upgrade. But, is there something or someone here that can make this mix up worth it?
I loved this book. I’ve always liked the alpha/omega trope and this one being MM peaked my interest. Dasher and Byron are so sweet together and through the hard times that are thrown at them, they are there for each other. The MPREG aspect was a new detail for me, I’ve never read a book that includes this, but I think it just added to the story so well, especially with all the care and adoration given to the pregnant omega, so sweet.
This does have steamy scenes to enjoy but it is mostly plot, it has a good balance of both.

This book is part of the Mated at the North Pole series and the main characters are alpha reindeer shifter Dasher and omega Byr (Byron) who has just been made redundant from yet another start-up he was doing marketing for. As a fall back, he rings his Uncle Louie and asks if he needs any help for the holiday season at his River Ridge mountainside resort, where he spent lots of holidays growing up. Dasher has worked himself up to being the head reindeer at Christmas Village and loves training all the new teams of reindeer to be ready to take out the sleighs on Christmas Eve, to deliver their loads of presents before the big day. All of the Santas are known by their numbers and Dasher has to deal with lots of requests from the Santas, but it can take up a lot of time, he really needs to spend on his piles of paperwork. It is still only November, but he has been falling asleep at his desk, trying to get everything done. Lots of hints are being given to him by his friends and colleagues, but it is only when he is ordered to by the Santas that he has to seriously take the order and sort out a holiday. His best friend invites him round for dinner and looks up loads of amazing holidays all around the world and gets him to choose one. He believes he is going to an all-inclusive sunshine holiday, but is shocked to find out at the last minute that his booking now shows he is going to a mountain side resort!
When he gets driven up to the resort, he can tell that it has become quite rundown and it’s past its heyday. Did the fact the elf lights flickered just as his friend submitted the booking for the holiday, warning do not call them fairy lights – it upsets the elves, have any effect on why his choice was changed? Perhaps the magic of the North Pole had something to do with it! Thankfully, even though his room, especially the bathroom, are outdated, they are clean and he leaves to see what is going on. He decides to take the stairs after being cooped up for so long travelling, when he smells something that catches his attention and even that of his reindeer. It is the scent of his mate! He looks all over the public areas, but stepping outside just makes it fainter. Hopefully that means his mate is a member of staff and he sits in the lobby waiting to spot him! His reindeer wants him to hurry up and find him, but when they do, they find out his is human and that means Dasher is going to have to go a lot slower! He is talking to Louie, when he spots him and is told he is his nephew and is helping him out, but was busy carrying luggage up the stairs for people checking in, hence the strong scent. Byron sees him and thinks he is an absolute hottie, but tries to remain professional in front of all the other guests, especially with his uncle joking about bingo balls yet again! Seeing the resort for the first time in years, has shown him how badly it is doing, but there is no real money to fix anything, as visitor numbers have been falling for years. They get a lot of repeat visitors, who come every single year, but they are all getting older, as are most of his uncle’s staff. Dasher soon finds himself helping out, not wanting to see someone as old as Uncle Louie, up on top of a tall ladder changing lights.
Dasher checks out what Byron’s schedule is and tries to turn up at the activities, wanting to spend as much of his holiday as he can with him. The two get closer as the days go by, but don’t have much chance of anything other than a kiss or two, before being interrupted by others. Finally getting to Byron’s room one night, they have almost got onto the bed, when his phone rings and he has to go and sort out a blocked toilet. Very romantic! They finally get away from the resort a bit, when Uncle Louie and Bryon go to check the route for a special walk they have their guests go on to choose the perfect Christmas tree, and Dasher goes with them. Just as they argue over which is the perfect tree, Uncle Louie falls to the ground and Dasher has to take some unexpected action revealing his true identity! Now as well as the resort, Byron has to look after his uncle as well, so romance with Dasher is a welcome relief, but he knows that Dasher has to go home soon and prepare for the big day. He knows he will see him shortly after, but Christmas Eve is going to be a lonely day, even with all the guests and staff around. A special arrival comes for him and he has no idea how it came, but it allows for some good news for both him and Dasher! They may not live in the same place, but the two of them have to sort out a share of living arrangements, especially with news of a new addition making their Christmas. There is lots of Christmas surprises and help from lots of special characters, from elves, Santas, reindeer and more, as the news spreads and different needs are met by their family and friends. A lovely Christmas tale with magical assistance and a MM pregnancy with a reindeer shifter and his human omega, adds to joy in the resort.
