Former boy band member Justin Hayes decided years ago to play his sexual preference close to the vest in order to protect the livelihood of his bandmates. This Christmas he and his bandmates are having a reunion on the Caribbean island of Nevis, where band member Chuck has decided to use the band’s yearly get-together as a chance to get married. Justin’s been chosen to serve as the best man.

Jack Basinger is the father of the bride. He’s older then Justin by fifteen years, but that doesn’t stop the two from having a sizzling encounter in an airport bathroom after sharing a turbulent plan ride. They’re strangers at the time, but once on the island they find out each other’s true identities. Jack and Justin try to keep their hook-up on the down low, but their attraction is undeniable and it’s not long before the truth comes out.

How I Met Your Father is funny in that witty, sarcastic way that I just kind of love. There are a lot characters here: The Rhythm Method band members (Justin, Chuck, TJ, and Matt), Mandy the bride, Benji the brother of the bride, Jack, and Harrison (Jack’s brother). This could be character soup, but the writer juggles all these character with skill. They each have distinct personalities and they play off each other to greatly humorous result.

The attraction between Jack and Justin is more lust than love and their interactions are hot to say the least. I’m usually not too big a fan of May-December romances, but it really worked here.

Overall, How I Met Your Father is a sexy island holiday novella and I recommend it to lovers of romances that are more hot then sweet. This book is steamy and entertaining and I loved it.
