BLURB: Two clashing colleagues stuck together for Christmas--will opposites eventually attract?Patrick has been single since he broke up with his cheating ex almost a year ago. With Christmas looming, he's resigned to spending it alone with only memories of happier times for company. When a business trip with a co-worker leaves them stranded in the Lake District due to heavy snow, it seems Patrick will have company for Christmas after all. It's a shame his companion is Kyle, who's undeniably attractive, but annoying as hell.
Aware of Patrick's reluctant admiration, Kyle basks in the attention even though Patrick isn't the type of man he normally goes for. Averse to relationships after being hurt in the past, Kyle enjoys the occasional hook up, but has given up on seeking anything more meaningful.
Stuck together, their antagonism escalates along with a heavy dose of sexual tension until it finally ignites. What starts as a Christmas fling soon feels like something special; but will their tentative connection melt away as the snow thaws? If they're going to take a chance on finding happiness together, they'll have to put their differences aside and learn to trust one another.
My Review: I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. My first seasonal story of 2021 turned out to be a fairly enjoyable listen. Hamish has a pleasant style of narration and Jay's story was very low angst given the premise. I want to say it felt Christmassy, but to me it was more a trapped by the weather kind of story rather than a true Christmas story, even though a lot of the action took place during the week of Christmas.
I don't want to give any spoilers so I'll just add that I did like the side characters of Mrs Wilcox, Mike the shopkeeper and Rex the dog.
