Like the first book, this second one needs to be taken with a consderable grain of salt. The concept of elves hating the North Pole and Christmas is explained in a little more detail in this volume, and there is a nice little twist at the end as well. It heals some of the 'damage' and brings back Horse and Bren (from book 1).

There was a little more story here, some more play around the idea of D/s, but the key was Justin's issues, including the healing process. An encounter with some more paranormal beings gives Justin and Cave the opportunity to bond around more than 'just' being mates.

If you're looking for light entertainment, a lot of humor and poking fun at existing elf and Christmas legends, you may like this book. ( )
