Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bru Baker writes sophisticated gay romantic fiction with strong characters, real-world problems, and plenty of humor.

Bru spent fifteen years writing for newspapers before making the jump to fiction. She now balances her time between writing and working at a Midwestern library in the reference department. Whether it’s creating her own characters or getting caught up in someone else’s, there’s no denying that Bru is happiest when she’s engrossed in a story. She and her husband have two children, which means a lot of her books get written from the sidelines of various sports practices.

4.0 out of 5 stars The tale of the table...
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2013

Really sweet little story. I love how they're not perfect and their love, though strong, has its weaknesses born from their individual personal insecurities; not the cliché misunderstandings but rather nervousness about what the other might think if... It makes this so real and believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly adorable and fun!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2012

I really enjoyed this tale, which surprised me as it was a holiday story. Most holiday stories follow the same generic format - conflict, resolution, happy ever after, yeah Miracle Of Christmas. And while that is adorable, it gets old after a while. But the summary and peek inside intrigued me, so I gave it a go. Glad I did! The writer has a fun, engaging style and a witty sense of humor. I found myself laughing out loud at several places, and smiling at my Kindle in others, which, to me, is the sign of a good read.

In most M/M stories I have two pet peeves. First, when people feel the need to overly feminize one of the male characters. This writer did not, which I REALLY appreciated. Both Ben and Aaron are very much male and strong in their own ways. Further, when females are introduced and added to the story line, there is always an element of bubbleheaded-ness to their characters. Like any female in an M/M story must be perpetually regulated to the role of fruitfly. I was pleasantly surprised that Madison, one of the main character's sister, was portrayed as smart and independent, loving without being cloying.

Great characterizations, a well-paced story line, excellent and fun writing style, and, yes, the requisite holiday cheer. I adored this story. The characters come alive and the emotions and actions are justifiable and seem real. Recommend it highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012
This was such a sweet, and slightly sappy, story. Filled with fluff, it was adorable seeing Aaron get all flustered and eventually seeing what he goes through to get Ben a present that's just for him. I enjoyed it very much and while the characters aren't that developed, the relationship between Aaron and Ben was just a dose of fun happiness. They were still in the honeymoon stage with starry eyes and it was just a very cute story. Definitely wished it had been much longer and had more details with Ben and Aaron going home to Ben's family for Christmas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aaron and Ben
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017
Super sweet and a great addition to my Christmas books list. Aaron really put a lot of thought and effort into his gifts for Ben. He even steps out of his comfort zone to go to Ben's family. Their time on the roof made me smile. His best gift though was when he gave Ben the promises of all the Christmases to come.

Although I'm late for the Christmas season I enjoyed this story so much. The characters were engaging and the relationships well developed, even though the story is not too long. I love the humor and the love evident between Ben and Aaron.

Download this story now so you can enjoy 'Traditions from the Heart' while relaxing front of a crackling fire with a mug of hot chocolate. What's not love about a well-written romance with a steamy side of sex? More than worth the $1.46. :) This will be one of your favorite "fuzzy sweater" stories for those days/nights when you just want to read something sweet but hot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but Sweet (or not so much...)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2013

I generally don't read anything that I know already has an established relationship but I can't resist the lure of Bru Baker and her absolutely amazing writing.

I adored the style of this book. It was cheeky. I will admit my mind went to the dirtiest place possible when Baker talked about Aaron and his quest to buy a present. I think you even get more out of this book if you ignore the blurb mostly and read it with open eyes.

It's very short but it really packs a punch and I highly recommend it.

Beware this has some hot sexing in it. *fans self*

Sex scene a little rushed, lacking either sensuous or lascivious understanding of gay sex. Sorry wanted to enjoy it, but lacked real bite.
