Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML:'Twas the night before Christmas, but what's stirring is a little more dangerous than a mouse. Taviano is nearly two hundred years old and never wakes in the same place twice. Weary and jaded, the vampire still indulges in memories of childhood Christmases in Naples. He lingers in shadow, spying on mortals as they enjoy the holiday. When Taviano spots a handsome young man in Boston loaded down with presents and about to be mugged, he can't help but intervene. Soon he's talking to joyous, na�ve, strong-willed and funny Paul, a short-order cook who raised funds to buy Christmas presents for LGBTQ children. Before he knows what's happened, Taviano is wrapped up in Paul's arms and then in his schemes to get the presents delivered by Christmas morning. A vampire turned into a Christmas elf... What could go wrong? Vampire Claus is a standalone gay romance about a lonely vampire and a fearless mortal with no instinct for self-preservation. A heartwarming ending, no cliffhanger, and a young man who discovers he has a thing for fangs. Isn't that what Christmas is all about?… (mehr)

Robert Winter is one of my top three favorite M/M romance authors. I have read and own almost everything he has written...so when Hoopla offered this short little Christmas tale by Robert Winter, and actually READ by him, I didn't care if it was August, I had to hear it. Audio was the only format that they had, and I wasn't fussy. The story, what I could hear of it, was delightful as I wouldn't have expected anything less from this author. The book was recorded badly. The audio was like listening to it being read in a big hollow drum. This was not in any way the fault of the author. I'm going to order the book and see what I missed. I thought the idea of the story was brilliant. I never met a gay vampire...well truthfully, I've never met a vampire or any orientation:) If there is one out there, I want it to be like Taviano. In spite of the bad recording, I did love the entire concept and I gave it 3 stars ...because, after all it IS Robert Winter. (

This book was provided by the author via IndiGo Marketing & Design in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this story! Taviano was a nomad vampire with a conscience. He tries not to hurt innocent people, and misses the comfort of church and Christmas. While sitting on the roof of a church listening to a Christmas mass, he sees Paul get mugged by 3 horrible men. Taviano intervenes and Paul doesn't appear to be bothered by the fact that Taviano is different and a vampire. As the night goes on, Taviano decides to enjoy the evening before he helps remove the events from Paul's memory. Their connection is strong, however, and they both get a chance at having a future together.

The story was different enough from other vampire stories, and I loved the hopeful feel of the story. (
