I started this series with the second book, but I did come back around and finish what I started (or skipped...). This is Keira Andrews's "The Christmas Deal" from her Festive Fakes series.
["Will fake boyfriends become the real deal this holiday?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—except ex-Marine Logan is jobless and getting evicted. Worse, he’s a new single dad with a stepson who hates him. A kid needs stability—not to mention presents under the tree—and Logan’s desperate.Then he meets lonely Seth and makes a deal.
Can Logan temporarily pretend to be live-in boyfriends to increase Seth’s chances at a promotion? If it provides a roof over their heads for the holidays, hell yeah. Logan considers himself straight—he doesn’t count occasional hookups with guys—but he can fake it. Besides, with his shy little smile, Seth is surprisingly sexy.
Make that damn sexy.
Shocked that Seth has only been with one man, Logan can’t resist sweetening their deal to teach him the joys of casual sex. No strings attached. No feelings. No kissing.
No falling for each other.
Easy, right?"]
This book was....angst city. Like, shit. Between the pining/anti-pining and the backstories and the situations and the anti-gay rhetoric and the a-little-to-pro-gay rhetoric and just...it was a lot. Granted, the romance was amazing and beautiful, but the story as a whole was a little heavy (maybe too heavy for Christmas).
