2025 | December Anticipated Releases

ANR

Hello, Everyone!

Today I’m sharing my most anticipated releases of December 2025. I have five books I really want to read this month, and hopefully I’ll have the time to get to them all. Let’s dive into this list!

Fallen Gods
(Fallen Gods Series, Book One)
By: Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: December 2nd, 2025
kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/48vUwW0

Synopsis:

They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied.

The Gods aren’t dead—they’re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all.

He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he’s sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies.

But Aric Erikson wasn’t part of the plan. He’s the enemy’s heir. Distant. Dangerous. And…the one person I can’t afford to fall for. He’s closed himself off completely behind a wall of ice, but the more I’m ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin.

There’s only a mission I never chose—and a man I was never meant to love—standing between me and a war that will decide the fate of the world.

But if I’m the spark, maybe he’s the fuse. And the Gods? They’re about to wake up angry.

Synopsis:

From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a dangerously dark stalker hockey romance.

Can I outrun his merciless obsession?

I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder.
I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind.
But my plan backfired, and my life spiraled downward.
Now, I’m the target of cold-blooded revenge.
Jude Callahan isn’t just a hockey god—he’s a devil no one dares to cross.
My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career choice.
And he’s set out to make me pay for that moment of silence.
No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows.
Like a predator.
I thought he’d stop at the stalking.
Or even better, he’d kill me and finally end my misery.
But Jude has other plans.
He says I can’t die. I have to pay for my sins.
And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming.

A Christmas Keeper
(Hope’s Turn Series, Book Four)
By: Marie Harte

Release Date: December 2nd, 2025
Amazon: https://amzn.to/4pDRiHz

Synopsis:

He’s a demon on the ice. She’s hell-bent on resisting him. But Christmas in Hope’s Turn has other plans.

A standalone hockey holiday romance in the small town of Hope’s Turn from NYT and USA Today bestseller Marie Harte.

Best goalie in the league, Damon “Demon” Sinclair, didn’t plan to spend his holidays helping his parents recover from a car accident while on the mend himself, recuperating from a knee injury. But when the meanest, hottest woman he’s seen in a long time dumps her loser of an ex in public, he’s found a new reason to celebrate.

Marlie Reynolds is sharp, sexy, and not impressed by Damon’s pro hockey fame—or the heat in his appealingly rough looks, serial-killer stare, and mounds of muscle. She’s a dedicated teacher and sister to three hockey fanatic brothers. She’s been around her share of charmers in skates before.

Too bad Damon’s not just good at playing games in the rink. He’s got his sights set on Marlie, and he’s more than willing to play dirty—in the best possible way.

With stray kittens, late-night practices, and one too many “accidental” body checks, their chemistry threatens to turn their sweet, small-town Christmas into a full-blown scorcher.

Full of holiday hijinks, laugh-out-loud banter, and sizzling romance on and off the ice, A Christmas Keeper is the perfect cozy escape with enough heat to melt even the frostiest heart.

A Season Of Sin
(25 Days Of Christmas: Bikers & Mobsters Series)
By: Bink Cummings

Release Date: December 5th, 2025
kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/4iHteRp

Synopsis:

The plan was simple…
Help my brothers with the club “deliveries” over the holiday season, then head back south where it’s nice and warm.
I didn’t plan on the snowstorm or running into a familiar face at the local gym.
I haven’t seen Jace in over a year, but we’ve been friends for far longer than that.
When he offers me a place to stay with him and his wife, I figure it’s better than freezing my ass off in the woods.
But it’s more than that…
They have a secret.
A secret that involves me.
And now, none of us will ever be the same.

A Season of Sin is a standalone M/M/F holiday novella featuring a biker, a plus-size social media influencer, and a firefighter. It’s light on the theme but high on the steam.

Bluebird Gold
By: Devney Perry

Release Date: December 30th, 2025
kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/4iY7ocx

Synopsis:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Devney Perry comes a gripping romance set in 1983 where a woman’s search for the truth about her father’s death entangles her with the small-town sheriff and a legend of lost Montana gold.

Living in Dalton, Montana, was not what I had planned for this winter. But after my father’s sudden death, I uprooted my life to move into his tiny lakeside cabin and settle his estate. My friends tell me to sell his place and move on. But this winter is my chance to say goodbye. To remember a man who’d loved tales of Montana lore.

Taking a temporary teaching job seemed like the perfect way to keep myself busy on lonely days. Cleaning out the cabin should have been simple. Except the more I learn about my father’s life, the more questions I have about his death.

The last thing I need is a crush on Sheriff Cosi Raynes. Not only is his son my student, but his life is rooted in Montana, while mine is headed…anywhere else.

Yet as I uncover a trail of strange clues Dad left behind about a lost legend of Montana gold, staying away from Cosi is not an option. Neither is denying the attraction between us. And my winter of healing becomes a race for answers.

I came to Montana to bury the past. Now I’m falling for the man who might just be my future. And either I’ll solve this mystery, or the person in Dalton determined to hide the truth will make sure I die trying.
