Book Blurb

Larry Kincaid isn't ready to be a parent, but when his sister dies in an accident, he takes his nephew, Angus, into his home. The change throws Larry’s life into limbo until he meets Joshua Langdon.

To Joshua, Larry is a lion: growly and strong, but too proud to ask for help. Joshua gets past his defenses and finds a place in Larry and Angus’s family, but Larry's pride gets in the way. Can they turn their holiday romance into a relationship that lasts into the New Year?

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2013 Advent Calendar package "Heartwarming".

Book Review

Life can definitely hand out some surprises and for Larry that's just what's happened in the past few months. He's a financial advisor and when his sister was killed in a car accident, she left the raising of her son, Angus, to Larry. He is doing the best he can, but basically he feels like he hasn't got a clue most of the time. He doesn't know that most parents feel that way, and Larry just wants the very best for Angus. In preparation for Larry's annual Christmas party he holds at his home for friends and clients, Larry takes Angus to rent a tuxedo for the evening and they meet Joshua.

Angus responds to Joshua more than he has anyone else, except for Larry, since his mom died, so when Angus asks if Joshua can come to the party, of course Larry invites him. The fact that Larry finds Joshua attractive has nothing to do with wanting to see him again. The party is a hit, and the attraction between Larry and Joshua heats up when the guests leave. Can Larry figure out how to have a healthy relationship when he's been used in the past, and still have all the time he needs with Angus? Can Joshua help Larry to see how great they could be together and what a nice family they could all be?

This was a nice story that reminded me that family and love are way more important than gifts. A good one, Andrew!
