Christoff spends centuries watching over the village that shunned him, dreaming of the day he can move on to his next life.

When the mountain begins to tremble again, Christoff knows his time has come. What he doesn’t expect are the younglings who suddenly appear in the hopes of saving a thing called Christmas. A miracle gives Christoff a new life on a strange planet, and an alien woman sees beneath his deformity to the warrior hidden within.

Ratings and reviews

Two worlds collide in a timeless Christmas. Well, I fell in love with The Lords of Valdier series when I read Abducting Abby. I’m still in love with it. Ms. Smith is exceptional at character creation and portrayal. It doesn’t matter the species or the age of her characters they capture and hold your attention while pulling at your heartstrings. Her stories dish up adventure that is out of this world good. The Old Dragon of the Mountain’s Christmas dishes up just a little bit more. When the goddess Aikaterina decides to reward this old dragon with his true mate more than one heart is healed. I fell in love with the very lovable and mistreated boy, Cristoff. The picture Ms. Smith paints of a boy razzed and bullied because of his deformities and yet very much loved by his parents quickly has you rooting for this underdog. Centuries later he’s still the loveable and selfless character he’s always been even though he has lived as a hermit for all these years. When he rescues the younglings on his mountain he comes to his goddess’s attention. As a reward she drops him on another mountain on a planet far away… one we are all very familiar with. Take a good guess what happens when a centuries old virgin dragon meets his mate. This old dragon will have you grinning at his antics, crying at his insights and thoughtfulness and totally enthralled with falling in love at any age. We first met Edna in Abducting Abby. She’s a sixty-something widow, mom, and grandmother. She lives in Abby’s old cabin on Abby’s mountain with her golden retriever Bo and her old mule, Gloria. When she discovers a golden ship in the meadow she’s very aware that she’s in the presence of an alien. With the total equanimity that is Edna, she takes it all in stride and takes him home for the holidays. What she didn’t expect was to be handed a second chance at love. Edna is everything Cristoff needs in his life. Cristoff is everything Edna’s family needs this holiday and perhaps her family is everything he needs to be the air beneath his wings. The Old Dragon of the Mountain’s Christmas had me smiling, laughing and crying. It’s everything a Christmas story should be. It’s everything I hope love at sixty will be. If you’re looking for a timeless Christmas story then this one is sure to please. I can’t wait for Jaguin’s Love. Ms. Smith just can’t keep up with my demand for more, so I guess I’ll have to grow a little patience. One thing is for sure the wait is always worth it. *****Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions*****
