What reviewers are saying
First impressions are coming in from readers on Goodreads. Here’s what they have to say about Season of Gifts and the end of the Neighborly Affection saga:
“I took 2 vacation days, binge read the story, who needs sleep?? … it starts with drama, angst and a dominant who is in over his head. Yes, even doms have a breaking point.”
“I can’t believe it’s over. Oh how I cried reading this book. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. Quite an end to a beautiful series. Jay, Alice and Henry’s story was fantastic, heart wrenching and full of joy. One to be reread again and again.”

“A beautiful and heartfelt end to a lovely series. My tears were flowing freely down my face on this one!”
“M.Q. Barber is incredibly adept at creating fully dimensional characters that run the gamut of human complexity. They may only exist in the universe microcosm of this series, but they are a mirror of our human potential. These beautiful souls are endearing in their imperfections and stalwart in their convictions, all with a view to supporting and loving one another. And the world is never worse off for that.”
“Chef’s kiss on this beautifully written finale to the wonderful trio of Henry, Jay and Alice. I have been on this ride since the beginning and am loathe to get off. I recommend this full series to anyone who wants to dive into this perfectly, imperfect love.”

“I’m terribly sad Season of Gifts is the last in the sublime Neighborly Affection series. I just don’t wanna let go of M.Q. Barber’s thruple, as they are definitely my favorite triad. And I envy readers starting their journey.”

About Season of Gifts

Married in November, divorced in December?
As newlyweds Henry, Alice, and Jay settle into their life together, an avalanche of trouble threatens to bury their dreams of a merry Christmas.
Forced to confront echoes of his childhood, Henry leaves Alice and Jay to fend for themselves. Their dominant has never let them down before, but now he’s distracted, anxious, and forgetting the things that matter. Will his distance be the crack that fractures their marriage?
Jay’s first holiday season after a bitter break with his family isn’t turning out the way he hoped. He’s trying to keep spirits high, but with his spouses stretched thin, the days grow bleak. When work obligations drive Alice toward her own long-overdue family confrontation, gut-wrenching emotions split the triad further apart.
Can they find their way back to one another, or will they be out in the cold forever?
Season of Gifts is the final book in the Neighborly Affection series. This spicy contemporary romance series, best read in order, follows the friends-to-lovers-to-spouses relationship of a committed poly triad.
