A week of no-strings fun in a winter wonderland setting. No consequences, no expectations, no hurt feelings. Right?
Henry:
Finding his boyfriend in a compromising position leaves him with a week off work and no holiday to go on.
A night of vodka, ice cream, and his sister’s sympathetic ear is the only way to deal with it.
It’s also how he finds himself on holiday alone a few weeks later, at an English holiday village in the countryside, surrounded by Christmas cheer and happy families.
He’s expecting a week of relaxing days and early nights, doing his own thing, and taking some time for himself. And hopefully finding some festive spirit along the way, because it’s sorely lacking at the moment.
What he’s not expecting is Dom.
Dom:
Coming to somewhere so familiar soothes his broken heart after yet another failed attempt at finding someone to settle down with. He’s ready. They never are.
Seeing a lost-looking stranger on the first day of his holiday triggers his protective instincts, so he steps in to give him some helpful advice.
Who knew that advice would mean they end up spending the day and then the whole week together? But he figures a holiday fling is exactly what he needs to get through this slump: no expectations, no misunderstandings, no heartbreak.
Or that was the plan.
He knows Henry wants more, but he doesn’t trust himself where his heart’s concerned.
He doesn’t trust Henry not to break it.
A Christmas MM romance featuring a meet-cute, a sexy holiday fling, a meddling but awesome sister, a teeny bit of angst, and a festive HEA.

Spicy and sweet!
I really loved reading this book. Dom and Henry are both recovering from recent breakups when they meet at a holiday park. I loved this setting and the rich descriptions of all of the places and activities involved.
While both Dom and Henry expected this to be just a short holiday romance it turned out to be so much more for both of them. It’s just too bad that they didn’t communicate better with each other. 😊 The sexy time in the story was hot but the connection and feelings that these two had for each other – even if they didn’t really admit them until it was almost too late – really made the story for me.
Henry’s sister and Dom’s friend each provided great support and advice. I also got a kick out of Henry’s fear of heights and how he managed to deal with it to go on a zip-line with Dom. I also love epilogues and the one for this story was wonderful.
