Synopsis

Prepare for another snow-dusted, super-romantic and heart-clenching holiday gay romance from Con Riley.

All Sebastian Street wants for Christmas is justice. Oh, and some privacy to kiss his flatmate.

Heat shouldn’t sizzle between best friends like it does between me and Patrick. He’s my flatmate, not my boyfriend, a gym-bro powered by peace, love, and understanding. In comparison, I’m a yappy terrier fuelled by rage and sugary baked goods.

Expect a third flatmate to understand our opposites-attract dynamic?

No.

This could be our last December together. Our first alone in this flat.
I can’t share it. Or Patrick.

Not when we only kiss at Christmas.

Perfect for fans of friends to lovers and found families, visit London and Cornwall in We Only Kiss at Christmas, or double your festiveenjoyment with His Last Christmas in London, the first standalone romance in this shared-world series.

So many emotions! I loved it!

This is another Con Riley book that hit me hard in the feels – actually, all of her books do that, in the best way possible. Seb and Pat have been friends and flatmates for years and last Christmas they ventured into new territory with a kiss – that they both have ignored ever since.

Seb and Patrick both want more but are afraid to say what they want. Seb is afraid of what it will do to their friendship and he can’t afford to lose any friends. They each champion the other: Seb when it comes to Pat and his schoolwork and Pat helps shore Seb up when things don’t go well for him on the job front.

These two finally figure things out but it isn’t smooth going right away. They’ve taken in another flatmate who adds additional interest to this story and he kind of helps push Seb and Pat towards what they both want.

I could go on and on but I really just want to say if you are a fan of Con Riley’s writing you won’t want to miss this book. If you’ve never read one of her stories before this would be a great one to start with.

About Author

CON RILEY lives on the wild and wonderful Welsh coast, with her head in the clouds and her feet in the ocean.

Injury curtailed her enjoyment of outdoor pursuits, so writing fiction now fills her free time. Love, loss, and redemption shape her romance stories, and her characters are flawed in ways that make them live and breathe.

When not people-watching or reading, she spends time staring at the sea from her kitchen window. If you see her, don’t disturb her — she’s probably thinking up new plots.
