Publication Day Review: Unwrapping The Best Man by Rachael Stewart


Unwrapping the Best Man by Rachael Stewart

On the first night of Christmas, her sexy crush finally gave to her—an unbelievably hot night! Now she’s ready for nights two, three and four… Unwrap the steamy sequel to Getting Dirty by Rachael Stewart.

I’ve lusted after brawny, gorgeously rough Jackson Black for six lust-fueled, unrequited years. But Jackson has rules, and the big one is “no getting involved with clients” of his elite London sex club. Including me. But our best friends are getting married, and for one deliciously hot night, the maid of honor and best man agree…what happens in the Scottish Highlands, stays in the Scottish Highlands.

It was everything I wanted and more…until the complete jerk disappears during the night.

Now it’s Christmas, and I have a plan to prove to Jackson Black just how much I don’t care, that he doesn’t turn me on like a Christmas tree. Only Operation: Naughty Elf is backfiring big-time. That aching need for his touch is stronger than ever. It’s painfully clear that I want more than just a fling from the untouchable Jackson Black.

I have one chance to unwrap the best man. But is this sexy, guarded grinch about to steal my heart…or break it?

As a sequel to Getting Dirty, Unwrapping the Best Man is a naughty Christmassy novel and standalone. 

For those who've met Jackson Black previously, you're in for a treat! 

Jackson and Cait have known each other for years as she is a member of his sex club. They've had their eyes on each other all the time but because of Jackson's rule about not getting involved with his clients, it's hands-off… until they play best man and maid of honour at their mutual friends' wedding….Rules are for breaking and Cait wants her man…!  

Once again, Ms Stewart had delivered a sexy, fast-paced novel with an enticing plot and seductive characters. However, this is so much more than a hook-up at a summer wedding in the Scottish Highlands.  

Cait and Jackson are attracted to each other but he won't cave into his principles… therefore Cait's hopes of finally landing the man she loves are slim, however, that's because there's a deeply personal reason for his strict rule. The reveal is shocking and the emotional fallout is heartbreaking yet the author tackled the issues perfectly. 

It's a quick read, so a perfect book to pick up and relax with after putting up the Christmas decorations, accompanied by a favourite drink too!  

The happy ending is perfectly sentimental… not quite fitting for a Hallmark film but still… because Santa Claus isn't going to look the same in your eyes ever again ;-)

Rachael Stewart adores conjuring up stories for the readers of Harlequin Mills & Boon and Deep Desires Press, with tales varying from the heartwarmingly romantic to the wildly erotic.


She's been writing since she could put pen to paper as the stacks of scrawled on A4 sheets in her loft will attest to, and the lovingly bound short stories that her father would run off at work and proudly share out with his colleagues. Thinking it was a pipe dream to be published one day, she pursued a sensible career in business but she was really play-acting, achieving the appropriate degree and spending many years in the corporate world where she never truly belonged. Always happiest when she was sat at her laptop in the quiet hours tapping out a story or two. And so here she is, a published author, her full-time pleasure, a dream come true.

A Welsh lass at heart, she now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children, and if she's not glued to her laptop, she's wrapped up in them or enjoying the great outdoors seeking out inspiration.

Book Blog Tour Stop with an Author Q & A: The Heart Of Doctor Steele by Colette Dixon




I'd like to wish Colette a warm welcome to my blog today and thanks for answering my questions.

Q. We're currently in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. What five things are helping to improve your quality of life at this difficult time?

A: I love this question! I’m big on self-care. These are the things that are getting me through:

  1. Walking for at least 30 minutes right when I wake up in the morning. It helps my mood and energy immensely. I have a treadmill for when the weather is too cold in Chicago.

  1. Sleep—I have always needed 8 hours in order to be pleasant and functional but now I am really making sure not to slack on rest. It’s good for the immune system too.

  1. Vitamins and adaptogenic herbs that help with energy and stress.

  1. Meeting with a friend once a week at least in person outdoors socially distanced or a Zoom chat. These are crazy times and we need friends to commiserate and laugh with.

  1. Slowing down. I’ve allowed myself to let go of being super productive and just be okay with getting through the basics of taking care of myself and my kids and binge watch shows if that’s all I have the energy for.

Q. Do you have pets, if so, what?

A: My black and white pit bull, Missy, we rescued in January 2020. She is the sweetest, most affectionate, and intelligent creature.

Q. Who in the writing world is your greatest influence?

A: Jane Austen made me fall in love with the romance genre so I will give her credit.

Q. Describe your perfect day.

A: Warm, by the ocean, no work to be done. Kids are playing in the waves. I’m enjoying a margarita with my husband.

Q. What project are you working on currently?

A: I’m writing the second book in the Doctor Steele world right now but taking it slow.

The Heart Of Doctor Steele by Colette Dixon

Are the rumors about him true? She intends to find out. 

The mysterious Dr. Steele has taken up residence next door, and scandalous rumors about him are spreading through Margaret Landeau’s small Massachusetts town. Rumors of women he’s ill-used and exploited for his experimental surgeries. Never one to believe gossip, Margaret arms herself with a basket of baked goods and ventures to discover the truth from the man himself.

John Steele has lost everything. His parents, his aunt, too many women he intended to save, and his good name. All he has left is his aunt’s home in a far-flung village and a library he’s stocked with whiskey. He has nothing to offer anyone. Especially not the bold woman next door whose passion for healing reminds him of the man he once was.

But when a dangerously ill girl arrives on his doorstep, pleading for help, Margaret is thrust into his world. She will learn who the real Dr. John Steele truly is, and soon, not even his dark past can stop her from fighting for the brilliant doctor she now loves. But he must deny his crushing desire for her—loving a man like him can only cast a shadow over her own bright future.

Colette Dixon writes steamy stories with heart and humor about slightly tortured people who learn how love can heal. For more years than she cares to admit, she worked in a hospital while dreaming up love story plots. A farm girl who landed in Chicago, she loves to eat (food made by others), drink tea, and sun herself at every chance she can get to survive the Midwest winter.
