Aaron Hall has never been able to remain faithful to a single woman, and for most of his life, he’s dated two women at once. Recently his girlfriend tracked him down and knocked on his door—and his live-in girlfriend answered. Now he has no girlfriend and a mortgage he can’t pay by himself.
Vinnie Rosello needs to change his life—get a better job, stop drinking all his money away, find himself a serious boyfriend… and move out of his parents’ house. Aaron needs help with his expenses, so they become housemates.
Even though Aaron harbors some misconceptions about gay men and Vinnie misses his large Italian family, both men find comfort in their friendship. It’s a good arrangement until everything between them changes.
Vinnie falls in love with Aaron, and Aaron is shocked to realize he feels the same. There’s only one problem—he’s still straight. He’ll have to overcome his fear of labels in order to love the man who’s captured his heart.
4 Stars
When Vinnie decides it's time for him to finally grow up and move out of his parents' home, he turns to his friend Aaron.
After Aaron cheats on his live-in girlfriend, she packs up and leaves him with a mortgage he can't afford on his own. Accepting Vinnie's proposal to move in and share the financial burdens, gives them both I what they need. They just never expected love to be part of the equation.
I absolutely adored Vinnie and Aaron. Their story was sweet, funny and sexy. I thought Aaron coming to terms with falling for Vinnie and the progression of their sexual relationship felt realistic. I loved Jay and Liam and while we don't see much of Jay, as Aaron's best-friend, Liam is featured prominently throughout the story. I adored getting to check in with him and the rest of the gang. I also LOVED Vinnie's family. They were so amazing and supportive.
This was enjoyable, well-written story that flowed well. It kept me entertained, chuckling and turning the pages. Very recommendable!!

Blame It On the Mistletoe is one of my favs (as well as a favorite holiday story). Although, I prefer "out for you" over GFY.
