A Christmas Audio Book Review

• 

  Secret Santa Written by Jay Northcote & Narrated by Hamish Long 3*

• BLURB: Keeping secrets is never a good way to start a relationship.
  
  
  Theo hardly has time to date. Between work and caring for his four-year-old son, there aren’t many hours left over. He’s lonely though, so he joins a hook-up app and starts chatting to a guy called Luke. Luke seems friendly, and they arrange to meet. Theo doesn’t mention that he has a child. It’s early days, and he’s worried about putting Luke off before they get to know each other.
  
  
  Luke is currently working as Santa at the local shopping mall. He figures Theo never has to know. Christmas will be over soon, and Luke will move on to a new, less embarrassing job. He’s surprised when Theo and a little boy visit Santa one afternoon. Theo doesn’t recognize Luke, and Luke realizes he’s not the only one with a secret.
  
  
  Despite misgivings on both sides, they start dating, and the chemistry is amazing. But as Christmas approaches, their secrets pile up like colorful packages under the tree. If they’re not careful, they’ll lose the best gift of all - each other.
• My Review: I Received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This started off a little slow but the narrator managed to keep my interest and got me to listen long enough to enjoy it. I'm glad he did because it was a sweet romance with characters that were real enough you think you might meet them in your neighbourhood. I wasn;t to happy with the lies and secrets part of the story but it did make some sense (I just beleive that honesty is always better) and once they both cleared things up it was a much better story for me. Oh and that little boy mentioned in the blurb? He was adorable and a wonderful secondary character.
