This was a pretty cute story. A grumpy guy, Nico, who absolutely hates Christmas gets roped into spending Christmas Eve singing Christmas carols at a nursing home with Adam, a sunshiney dude who loves Christmas. They’re the complete opposites, but they definitely attract after getting stuck in a hotel together because of the snow.

Except Nico freaks out because he thinks they’re too opposite, he’s had issues from his past with his ex and his father. He breaks it off with Adam the next day and Adam is pretty hurt. But then Nico eventually realizes his mistake and begs Adam for another chance.

Epilogue is super cute. I just love a HEA 😍

I’d give this around a 3.75⭐️

I liked it fine until the big "breakup" Nico treated Adam like crap quite frankly and absolutely no good reason. His reason for not liking Christmas was thin at best and his mother is a terrible parent to tell that to her child

New to me author. This is a mm romance novella set around Christmas time. Main characters Adam and Nico. Set up my Adam’s roommate Erica so Adam will not spend Christmas alone. Nico is a coworker of Erica. They get snowed in after singin carols at an nursing home and spend some time in a motel. Due to Nico’s past he ends it all. They get back together at New Years Eve.

I actually liked this book, when reading this book. I thought Erica planned this get together between both of her friends Adam and Nico. Which lead them to going ice skating (Nico was struggling at that) and caroling together. Where they ended up having to share a bed together.

They both knew they liked each other, but it took Nico to move forward to them doing and getting together. But he hurt Adam in the end even himself because of what his dad did and what his mom said about love and people leaving. His own dad was never around during Christmas if he was he was drunk. I understood why Nico hated Christmas.

But Adam showed him that Christmas isn’t bad at all. What interest me was Nico was the one to ask for marriage but Adam was the topper. But whatevs I was just glad that Adam helped Nico find love and believe in love. Same goes for Adam with Nico... their best friend got them together and I still say that both Tara and Erica may have set things up for them to see each other again... especially at Erica apartment she shares with Adam too that party at Lauren house....

At least this book ended with a happy ending that’s all that matter (:

Gay boys and their mothers...

Nice hates Christmas because his dad always disappeared around the holidays and it made his mother sad.

Adam loves Christmas. His mom made a huge deal about it every year.

Both men are going to be alone at Christmas this year, so a mutual friend hooked them up and the discovery that they have absolutely nothing in common, but that it’s ok. Sometimes opposites really do attract.

This was ok. I quite liked it but I felt like it could have done with a couple more chapters to explain things better. For example Nico’s dislike of Christmas… I didn’t really get it. Like, where did his dad go? What kind of relationship did they have? I just didn’t get it. And I didn’t like how Nico suddenly leaves. He was a bit of a twat. But overall it was quite cute and christmassy.

Adam is so determined to embrace all the Christmas joy, and it was great to see him gradually thawing Nico’s grinch-ness, including carol-singing! Lovely winter setting, and even though Nico had last-minute nerves, it was good to watch them discovering whether their physical attraction could be so much more.

Working my way through all these free shorts I got, I'm not sure how to class this one, is it a short, novelette, or novella? Whatever, it was a truly nice read. It had a ' stranded in a snow storm' trope, which I always enjoy, and two sweetheart men, even if Nico was a bit on the grumpy side while Adam was a bubbly, happy go lucky kind. A lovely storyline, some angst, but lots of sweetness.

Winter Wonderland download. Amusing novella length story of opposites attracting over the year end holidays. Lovable characters in a tropish plot, abetted by a snow storm or two. These boys have a hot romp together.

Such a cute and fluffy piece loved the ending

[Smut Librarian · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little on the angsty side with some pining and MCs who don't say what they mean. But it has some sweet moments and a bit of heat. An entertaining read overall.
