Driving Him For Christmas

by Dean Cornwall

Photographer’s model Drew Angel is no pushover. He’s been hurt more times than he can count by men that see him as nothing more than the pretty face on the other side of their lens. So when his drunken cab driver runs into the back of a beaten-up old Porsche on the way to the station, he tries to ignore the attractive other driver’s attentions. He knows men like Simeon King, and he knows better than to succumb to their superficial charms. Even when he learns the truth, that Simeon’s father recently passed away and the car was his only real legacy, Drew keeps an arm’s length between them. But Drew Angel has a Christmas he and his sister give out gifts at the children’s home where they grew up before they found their forever family. He has to get home for the big day. And when the trains are all cancelled because of the weather, how can he possibly turn down the offer of a ride? Author’s Throw together one beautiful Angel and the King of a small gambling empire, and watch the sparks fly. This Christmas road trip will force them both to face their own truths, and bring them closer than either of them expect. And of course, you can count on the cutest Christmas HEA to be waiting at the end!

Driving Him For Christmas is a great holiday read or anytime actually. Even though this is a novella, the reader gets an in depth understanding of the characters. I disliked one of the main characters at first but grew to really like him in the end. It was fun to read and well written, and I certainly recommend this book.

What an enjoyable holiday romance. The accidental meeting between the two MC really got the ball rolling with the instant attraction and budding romance. I loved the chemistry between Drew and Simeon. These two are truly opposites but they say opposites attract and that they did. Simeon personality in the beginning wasn't all that nice but you can see he was a decent person just very cocky and arrogant. Meeting Drew changed him... well brought out a different side to him. I really loved Drew. You can say he is passive but he got a backbone and he gave Simeon the business when he had to. It was a delight to read how these guys got to know each other in and out of bed. They had good communication but of course there was a hiccup in the nice feelings that was developing but things turned around for the guys and we Simeon coming full circle as truly an all around good guy. Us readers were gifted with multiple epilogues that were wonderful to read. The author did a good job keeping me engaged from beginning til end. 5 STARS!!

Driving Him For Christmas is a wonderfully written story about Drew and Simeon. It's Christmas Eve and Drew is trying to get home. His cab driver started celebrating a bit early and is drunk. They end up hitting a car in front of them which is Simeon's. Simeon offers to take Drew to the train station and when they get there everything is either canceled or delayed and will most likely be canceled due to snow. Simeon then offers to drive Drew home as it's on his way to where he's going. I love stories where it looks like bad thing after bad thing is happening but really you are exactly where you're supposed to be and life has something wonderful just waiting for you around the corner. It's like that for both these characters and Drew's cab just happened to run into Simeon's car, not someone else's. Drew and Simeon are really good for each other and their ending is just perfect. This is a story to enjoy again and again and I definitely recommend it.

I wanted to read this title because I was looking for a reading not too long to pass the time during my two days of digestive problem which forced me to stay in bed. Wonderful way to end 2020 and start 2021...

I prefer slow burns in romances but here, the characters are well constructed because we discover their pasts so it bothered me less. The evolution of the characters' personalities and their relationship is also interesting to follow.

The story is made of chance, encounters and decisions that change the future of Simeon and Drew. A pretty hot little story because it includes a few detailed sex scenes.

Overall, the text is easy to understand. I just dealt with a few words that I didn't know. This is probably because the author is British and I'm more used to read American English.

Ask the right questions, then listen. Drew, photography model is used to being objectified by his public. He has been hurt many times and is wary. Simeon, was driving his recently passed Dad's car, when Drew's drunk cab rear ended him. Drew was on his way to meet with his sister, Abigail to fulfill their Christmas tradition of handing out gifts at the home. Simeon, offers to drive Drew to his destination after a few transportation conflicts. Drew declined because he thought Simeon would want something in return. Simeon was attracted to Drew's looks at first and intrigued by what he thought was his story. Simeon spent his time getting to know Drew better. Do they make it on time to deliver the gifts? Does Drew put his walls down? Does Simeon see Drew as a value and not just an object? Nice story that grows on you. Nicely done. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review

Dean Cornwall makes a road trip fun, but maybe not so merry (laugh). Cornwall gives us a rich guy who always gets what he wants no matter who has to step on and a guy who is tired of being stepped on. Then Cornwall mixes in some really hot chemistry and talk about a conundrum. The back stories are good and realistic. The hard-core rich guy’s turn around is quick, but hello it’s a holiday story (smile). Cornwall gives us some great heat too. I really liked this holiday road trip and I like the message that Cornwall gives as he writes about giving back. Add Driving Him For Christmas to your warm, fuzzy, and gives you a “good feeling” holiday reading list.

This was a short novella. I loved it!! I loved the characters, Drew and Simeon. Drew is trying to get home in order to get to the children’s home and that he and his sister lived in for a time. His uber driver is drunk and runs into Simeon’s car. Simeon offers to take him to the train station, but everything is closed, and Simeon ends up taking him all the way. The characters were well written and well developed. This was sooo good, enjoyed it. I am voluntarily leaving a review from an advanced copy that I received.

This was a great m/m holiday romance. The plot was great and rather plausible, the events unfolding naturally The growth of the characters was great over the course of the story. The growth of the characters came more evident towards the end of the story. I found this to be a bit of a sweet story, perfect for reading when cuddled up with a cup of hot cocoa.

I give this a four out of five stars. A sweet holiday story with great character growth.

I really enjoyed reading Driving Him For Christmas by Dean Cornwall. Drew and Simeon both have issues that they are working on. Drew is working on not allowing people to walk all over him, and Simeon is a person that is used to walking all over people to get what he wants. It was great watching them grow, especially Simeon, who ended up changing his business ventures because of his growth. Drew was just adorable, and I liked how determined he was to get his apology.

Drew is on his way to the train station when the cab he's in is in an accident. Simeon who has just left the reading of his father's will is on his way home when he's in an accident. The cab driver is arrested for being drunk so Simeon offers Drew a ride to where he was going and the fun starts. I enjoyed this book.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed it. This is the story of Drew Angel and Simeon King. Drew is a photographers model and has a lousy track record with men. Simeon believes in sex and not relationships. Both the sex and the partner are both forgettable and the job is done. Drew is on his way to catch a train home when his drunk taxi driver rear ends a Porsche. Simeon the driver of the Porsche is upset and mad. He too has been having a very bad day. Simeon does the decent thing on Christmas Eve and offers Drew a ride home in his Porsche. This is a warm Christmas story. I found Simeon to be the worlds biggest jerk in the beginning, but you will warm up to him as the book goes on.

This is a warm Christmas short story that you will enjoy. I rated it 3 1/2 stars.
