Synopsis

A geek. A virgin. One sexy holiday.

Orphaned Lucas figures spending the holidays with his obnoxious roommate’s family in New York City is better than staying alone on campus upstate. He ends up sharing a room again, this time with his roommate’s brother, Nate. Geeky photographer Nate isn’t at all what Lucas expects. In fact, he’s incredibly sexy—especially when he invites Lucas into his darkroom…

They hide their attraction during Hanukkah celebrations, but behind closed doors, Lucas and Nate can’t keep their hands (or mouths) off each other. Nate’s only looking for a bit of holiday fun, and amazing sex with a hot virgin definitely fits the bill. Yet as the candles burn, Nate and Lucas begin to realize eight nights will never be enough.

This gay holiday romance from Keira Andrews features secret trysts, new adult angst, spinning the dreidel, and of course a happy ending. 25,000 words.

Note: Originally published as Eight Nights. New edition significantly revised and expanded.

A sexy holiday story.

This is the second holiday story I’ve read by Keira Andrews this year and I loved it. It was refreshing to read a Hanukkah themed story. I liked reading about the traditions of this Jewish celebration, most of which I knew very little about.

Lucas is alone for his first Christmas after his father passed away. When he’s invited to spend the holiday season with his college roommate Sam’s family he figures it’s better than being alone. He is pleasantly surprised to find that Sam’s brother, Nate, is nothing like Sam and the two of them hit it off right away and he’s happy to be sharing a room with Nate rather than Sam. The only problem is his attraction to Nate; he doesn’t even know if Nate is gay.

Nate isn’t out to his family but he can’t fight his attraction to Lucas and sets sort of a trap for him. When Lucas is caught in the trap he’s mortified but Nate soon clears things up and the two of them begin enjoying a holiday fling.

This book has a lot of very sexy scenes. Nate is pretty experienced and he soon shows Lucas how to enjoy the pleasures of being a gay man. As they spend more and more time together Lucas realizes he doesn’t want their holiday fling to end.

I really enjoyed this book. A novella length book works well for me because I love being able to finish a story in one evening and this was one I didn’t want to put down. I felt bad for Lucas because he wasn’t really happy at college and he’s missing his dad. Nate is also unhappy at college; he’s only studying pre-law to please his parents. Nate and Lucas being together helps both of them to realize that they need to change things and stop doing what their parents want.

I thought the story had just the right amount of angst and, once again, I’m a little surprised to find out how much I like reading stories about college aged people (especially since I’m now over 60 years-old. ?) I have several longer books by Keira Andrews on my to-be-read (TBR) list and I’m looking forward to reading more of her work.

I almost forgot to mention the epilogue that tells us how Nate and Lucas are faring a year down the road. I just love epilogues!
