My Kind of Christmas (Men of Fort Dale #5)


I've been meaning to catch up on (binge-read) the rest of Romeo Alexander's works for a while now. I just realized that most of the Men of Fort Dale novels are relatively short, so here's to binge-ing. "My Kind of Christmas" is the fifth book in the series

["Nick: Team Maelstrom is my family as much as the family who raised me. That includes Matt, my partner in crime, and the closest I have to a soulmate. We get each other, and that’s all we’ve ever needed. But there’s a part of me that won’t be silent, the part that wants so much more with Matt. Yeah, I’m in love with my best friend and I had no idea a fun family Christmas would change everything.

Matt: Nick is my best friend, brother in arms, and so much more. We’ve been through a lot together, in and out of the army. I didn’t have a family growing up, so Team Maelstrom and Nick’s family have become mine. I love everything about Christmas and I wasn’t going to pass up the chance of spending a snow-covered Christmas holiday with them. I certainly wasn’t expecting to find out Nick had been in love with me for years, but it was a bigger surprise for him to find out that maybe, it wasn’t all in vain.

Come and celebrate a romantic fun Christmas with decorations galore, snow-covered scenery, meddling sisters and a slightly drunk father…who really should learn to keep his mouth shut!"]

I was REALLY hoping these two would have their own book after they were side characters in "Trust Me, I Hate You." They nearly stole the show then; here, they jump right off the page.

They were so cute and dedicated to each other and communicated through touch and totally in sync. All before Nick's secret was spilled. ;) After, it was that plus spice (and a lot of initial confusion and guilt). 

It was a little like "I'm Straight, Right?" where, in my opinion, both characters kinda lingered on the secret and the length of feelings and what-does-that-mean-for-me and labels. 

But over, suuuuuuch an adorable story.
