Book Blurb

Nico Hamurişi is the one and only son of Santa Claus. All his life, Nico has known he’s expected to fall in love and find lifelong commitment by the Christmas of his thirtieth year—like every other heir before him. But knowing and accepting are vastly different things, and as the final countdown begins, Nico has yet to embrace his fate. His once great enthusiasm for eventually becoming Santa has been dimmed by uncertainty over how the Santa Line will be affected when he marries a man.

 

With only a year left, will Nico have time to find love and commitment all while learning how magic will transform the family line to accommodate who he is and who he loves?

 

Book Review

When duty to family and fulfilling a traditional role are all that determine someone’s future, yet that person has very different ideas about what would make them happy, there are only two options. Nico has known all his life that he is expected to be the next Santa Claus, following in his father’s footsteps, that he would be required to find true love with a woman before he turns thirty, get married, and produce an heir. The happiness of all future children getting their presents delivered rests on his shoulders. Talk about pressure! But there is a problem – Nico is gay. How is he supposed to find true love with a woman, never mind get married to her and have children? It’s a conflict he has always faced and this is the story of how he finds a solution now that he has only one year left before his thirtieth birthday.

Nico used to want to be Santa Claus when he grew up – but since he realized that he was gay (not that he told anyone), he has run from his responsibilities by avoiding his family. Of course, that will not make the problem go away. And with only one year left, his father puts his foot down and that forces Nico to come out and tell his family the truth. He thinks he can’t see a way out, but once everyone is aware of his need to find love with a man, they all put their heads together to search for an alternative. Magic, like love, is said to find a way, and following Nico and his family on their path of discovery was a lot of fun.

If you like magical worlds with rules that seem to stand in the way of happiness, if you enjoy watching families work together as they figure out the solution to a problem that threatens them all, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read with lots of drama of all kinds, some unexpected twists and turns, and a truly creative ending, then you will probably like this novel. It’s definitely very cute!
