Book Blurb

When Sheriff Nick Grey is talked into playing Santa at the local mall by his devious sister, he fully expects to have a miserable time. What he doesn’t know is that she has convinced Peter DeKell to play one of his elves. Peter’s the town’s librarian and has been the object of Nick’s affection since they were both children. The only problem is that while the entire town knows that the Sheriff is head over heels for the quiet librarian, Peter seems at best oblivious and at worst not interested.

After being faced with the temptation of Peter in tights, Nick finally breaks down and asks Peter to dinner and is elated when he accepts. When disaster strikes in the form of an ill-timed kiss, Nick has to make a choice. Is he willing to finally give up on being with Peter? Or will the lawman fight for his librarian’s affections?

Be Warned: m/m sex, rimming

Book Review

Nick's telling of the story of how he finally, after even-he-can't-really-remember-how-many-years, manages to ask Peter out for a date, or least an almost-date, is hilarious. I'm sure Nick wouldn’t agree, and poor, waiting-forever Peter might have his doubts, but I totally loved his trials and their tribulations. This short story is almost a parody of a love story, includes several of the much-seen cliché's of the romance category, but Rebecca Brochu has put them together in such a humorous way that the end result is romantic comedy of the belly-laughing kind.

Nick is a small town sheriff and pretty tough, or so he likes to think, but there is one glaring weakness in his life. He lacks the courage to ask Peter out on a date. He admired him from afar when he was the nerd in school, and now that Peter is the town librarian, Nick thinks he is even sexier and is deeply in lust, probably in love. He doesn't care, he just wants to have the chance to call Peter his lover. Well, after he can manage to take him out on a date.

Peter seems oblivious, and Nick finally manages to get his courage up, after an eventful afternoon or two where he plays Santa and Peter in as elf in very tight tights. Unfortunately, fate has other plans, and Nick almost gives up. When he finally manages to try again, on Christmas Eve, well, you'll have to read it for yourself. It is just too cute!

If you're looking for a story that will entertain and make you laugh, if you enjoy romantic comedy, and if you're looking for a love story with just a touch of Christmas magic, give this one a try. I loved it and am still laughing.
