Number four of the gay Christmas romance novels! In this one, we have no fake boyfriends or chance meetings due to a snowstorm, but we do have returning home and seeing your old flame again, who's now your biggest enemy.
Hunter is from a small town where his family owns basically everything, and he's the prodigal son returned. Aaron is the equivalent of a townie, and now has a small store downtown a la David Rose in Schitt's Creek. They were best friends in high school, until a dumb asshole got between them, and now that Hunter's back the sparks have started to fly again!
I really liked the premise of this novel, but it kind of fell apart toward the end. I know that this is in part a preference I have that goes against romance novel standard beats, but it feels like in too many of them there is a big confession or the like that involves too many openly expressed feelings, if I am honest. My kingdom for a Christmas romance novel that has the right level of conflict/suspense that I am looking for! This one is fine, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
Grade: C
