I’ve lived my life exactly how I’ve wanted to, chasing fires. Until the best night of my life made me rethink the word responsibility. Suddenly, risking my life jumping out of planes into forest fires wasn’t worth the chance of not coming home. Especially when I have two little girls waiting on me.

So I retired.

Bought a house, learned how to change a diaper, and have been trying to change that life I thought I wanted into the one I have and desperately want to keep.

Being a father.

But danger also has a way of finding me, and I’m afraid it might cost me everything I’ve been trying to hold on to.

The club took me in with open arms. I’m training local firefighters at the academy and trying to date the love of my life, if she’d give me the time of day, because I won’t stop until she’s my wife.

I'm a retired 43-year-old Puerto Rican wife and mother of 3 plus 1 bonus daughter. Originally from NYC, now living a quiet life in the south suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy reading and writing romance and erotic fiction. I'm addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel and Harry Potter.

I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me. Every time I was told I couldn't do something, I did it, took pictures, and smiled with my son on my hip for everyone who ever doubted me.

Now, after finding the love of my life in my thirties, we married in the great 2020 pandemic, which shall not be named. We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.

After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I'll get it right.

Release & Review for If You Give a Grump a Christmas Tree Farm by Nicole James

Title: If You Give a Grump a Christmas Tree Farm

Author: Nicole James

Genre: Christmas/Holiday Romance; Small Town; Grumpy/Sunshine

Release Date: October 20, 2025

Cover Design: Kristin Gipner

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole James comes a grumpy sunshine, small town, holiday romance!

JJ—
I’ve been to Christmas Town. Never thought I’d admit that to anyone. And yes, it’s a real place.

My brother and I visited there many times when we went to see our grandparents for the holidays. The small Tennessee town is proud of its name and takes it seriously. Gramps owns the local Christmas tree farm, Holly Jolly Farms on Candy Cane Lane. I know, right? Gag me with a spoonful of sugar.

I haven’t seen Gramps in forever, so never in a million years would I have expected that he’d leave it to me and my brother in his will. Only problem is, my brother passed away eight months ago. Guess gramps didn’t get a chance to update his will before he kicked the bucket.

It’s not that I’m ungrateful. We had some fun times there as boys, but now I’m a grown man who lost his Christmas wonder a long time ago. You could say I’m the definition of Bah-humbug.

To top it all off, I now share ownership of the place with my brother’s widow, a woman I’ve never even met.

Why is that, you ask?

Because I’m the black sheep of the family. I left home a decade ago and joined a motorcycle club. How’s that for a flying finger to the whole fam?

Needless to say, I haven’t been invited back since.

Not once.

So, all things considered, I’m thinking we make a quick sale, and unload the place to the first buyer we can find. But Rebecca has other ideas. She wants to make a go of it and she’s got a ton of ideas.

She’s complicating everything with her perky attitude and persistent optimism.

Per the stipulations of the will, neither one of us can sell unless the other one agrees, at least for the first year.

So, now I’m stuck with a failing tree farm and a hot-as-hell partner who pushes all my buttons, and is full of stinking Christmas cheer.

If I hear another ho-ho-ho, I won’t be responsible for my actions.

Between the tinsel and glitter and twinkling lights, the tree farm on Candy Cane Lane is coming back to life and my sexy partner is trying my last nerve and testing all my willpower. Lord, save me. It’s enough to drive a man to drink.

Pass the eggnog and don’t skimp on the liquor.

I’m in Freaking hell.

This heartwarming and entertaining Christmas MC romance is a delightful story to immerse yourself in. The characters are engaging and lovable, and we lenjoyed how the club brothers come together to help make the farm successful. While this holiday -themed story is part of a series, it showcases a different, softer side of MC life, focusing on friendship, loyalty, love, and the desire to help others succeed and form new relationships. The banter and dynamic between JJ and Rebecca are captivating, and their chemistry is palpable. They make a beautiful couple, despite being complete opposites and we were rooting for them from the start. Their situation may seem taboo to some, but who has the right to stand in the way of love? This feel -good book evokes a range of emotions and is easy to relate to, especially Rebecca's journey to independence and self-empowerment. Her strength and resilience shine through, making her a compelling character. JJ's character is endearing, even in his grumpiness. Learning about his past and the pain caused by his family adds depth to his character, and his growth and healing throughout the story are heartwarming. Exploring holiday -themed books in recent years, we are pleased to have discovered this gem. The plot, romance, humor, and emotional depth, along with a touch of Christmas magic, make this a truly enjoyable read that brings happiness and love to a deserving couple.
