Two grumps make a sweet story. I need more grumpy/grumpy stories, this one was fantastic. And older MCs always make me swoon. And Lane writes incredible silver foxes (The Real Baxter - I’m looking at you!)

Seriously, this is one of my favourite holiday stories of the year. A writer who spends too much time in his head to really bother with a relationship, and a handyman who’s come home to lick his wounds after a stint in New York.

These guys are entirely unimpressed with the holidays (for their own painful reasons), but they grudgingly decide to decorate for the holidays to appease Cam’s aunts. Joe was hired to fix up the house but also gets roped into decorating duties.

The sexual attraction between these two is a given, but the more time they spend together, the more they find themselves feeling and wanting things they didn’t expect.

This is fun and playful, but with the maturity and depth that the characters warrant. And they were also very compatible (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

I also loved the town, and the setting and I wouldn’t be upset to have more stories set in this world. I’m sure Cam and Joe have some friends that could use a little love.
