Marley in Chains by RG Alexander is the third book in the Smutketeers naughty Christmas trilogy. Marley was orphaned right after she graduated from high school, and subsequently ran from her family and two dearest friends, Michael and Carlos, as far and fast as she could. While she did accept a job with her cousin Holly over a decade after that, she's locked herself away from everyone intentionally, and is ready to sprint again at even the possibility of reconnecting. She recognizes that Holly needs something though, and takes her to an old neighborhood haunt to tie one on to celebrate Holly's impending milestone birthday.Michael is stunned to hear through a friend that Marley's back in town. He was devastated when she disappeared without a word seventeen years ago, and he and Carlos haven't been quite the same since. Especially after Carlos returns from an overseas tour in the Marines a shell of the person he was before.Marley can't believe her eyes when she opens her door to a Christmas past--Michael is even more appealing to her than he was years ago, and she cannot turn down his request to help Carlos. The feelings they'd shared as teens seem a mere spark compared to the passion that threatens to engulf them all as Michael and Carlos orchestrate a visit to their Christmas past--one that might turn out to transform their Christmas present into a very remarkable Christmas future...Ms. Alexander pens a story that is both emotional and kinky. Marley, Michael, and Carlos have some pretty deep-seated issues to face, and Ms. Alexander ably deals with those as well as bringing them fulfillment as they reconnect both physically and with their hearts. Look forward to enjoying some holiday healing as you curl up with this read!
