~2.5 stars~

It's a sad day when I have to give a Keira Andrews book less than 3 stars. I usually LOVE her work, especially her Christmas stories (btw, if you haven't read If Only in my Dreams and A Very English Christmas, add them both to your list ASAP).

I had issues with this story from the get go. It's a pet peeve of mine when the "vilain" of the story is too much. Justin was just too much, to the point he resembled a caricature.

I never managed to warm up to Daniel. He felt too high strung, too dramatic, snobbish and I hated being inside his head while he was constantly irritated by...everything.

I liked Cole a little bit more, but being constantly ready to eat out of Daniel's hand like an overeager puppy was annoying.

When the sex came, it was hot but came out of the blue. It felt rushed and a little forced.

I appreciated a lot the demisexuality approach, but the whole conversation felt weird and awkward to me.

I did like the epilogue, though. I always appreciate it when we get to see the couple a year down the road.

I believe I'm going to be the minority with this one. If you 're a fan of the author, you should still go for it. But for me, it just didn't work.
