What Happens At Christmas

Continuing my theme of reading the last few books downloaded on my kindle as well as the long list I have on my wish list for my kindle, I'm reading a bunch of queer holiday romances instead. Here's Jay Northcote's "What Happens At Christmas."

["When two friends pose as boyfriends, could what happens at Christmas turn into something more?

Justin is recently and unhappily single. Christmas is coming, and he doesn’t want to face his ex alone at their office party. So Sean—Justin’s best mate and long-time secret crush—volunteers to go with him and pretend to be his new flame.

Sean has always lusted after Justin from afar, but there’s never been a good opportunity to ask him for more than friendship. Posing as Justin’s boyfriend isn’t a chore, and if Justin wants to rebound onto him, Sean’s more than willing. At the party pretence and reality blur, and a kiss on the dance floor leads to a night of passion.

In the aftermath, they both assume it was a one-time thing until fate intervenes. Stuck together in London over the holidays, they give in to temptation again. But what happens at Christmas stays at Christmas... right? "]

These two. GAAAAH D: They were so damn cute. Both helplessly in love with the other one. It didn't take long for the steamy to reach a peak (or several peaks), but they didn't actually  t a l k  until like 85% through the novella (at least they talked).

There was sooooo much fluff. And so much fluff even before the heat really hit. Best friends to sooooo much more. Love them. Love this novella.
