Blurb
Smooches under mistletoes and tacky reindeer decorations.
Newly single, Davey has had enough of wasting his love and having his heart broken. Better to be single, he decides. No more dates. No more falling in love. No more dreaming of happy ever afters.
Those are for movies.
He’s resolute.
And then Avery steps into his life, bringing care, compassion, and tenderness in his path.
Davey’s so tempted to hope again. But can an online date and a brief encounter turn into anything other than an ephemeral sexual encounter?
Is there a future for them? Will Avery stay? And most importantly, can Davey bear to offer up his heart to the season’s love—just one more time?

4 Stars
Davey, a sales clerk at a local resale store in New York City, is newly dumped, again, and is swearing off relationships for good, well, until Avery comes through his checkout line that is, but Avery just smiles shyly and runs off.
Social media brings them back together later, but Davey doesn’t put much stock into their first date going any further than sex. Not with his track record.
This was a quick and easy read. It’s pretty instalove, but it works pretty well for Avery and Davey. They were sweet together, but could be a tad bit mushy at times. Even though Davey is all bah-humbug about Christmas, I absolutely adored the setting of Christmas in New York City!
Avery and Davey were sweet together, and the story is well-written, but I found the language was just a bit formal at times. Still, the story had a little bit of everything packed into a short space, romance, friendship, love and even a bit of angst. Very recommendable!

Author Bio
Chris Ethan is a book whore. He enjoys selling his feelings for money and other pleasures and is blatantly unashamed to do so for as long as he breathes. Chris Ethan is also a persona for Rhys Ethan, author of fantasy and sci-fi. He uses Chris Ethan to share stories of adult queer romance with those who need it. Before you delve into his books however, be warned. He likes putting his characters through shitstorms and hates anything conventional. But then there's that darned happy-ever-after. Also, he likes swearing. Deal with it!
