Alex’s traditional family Christmas Compromise means spending the holiday at a second-rate theme park, Poseidon’s Planet, but Alex doesn’t mind. He enjoys the rides and the company of his family, and it’s a good break from his going-nowhere existence back in Indiana. Then he meets a certain sexy employee in a pirate costume, and Alex’s vacation gets even better. But thrill rides last only a short time, and sooner or later everyone has to return to real life. Alex long ago gave up on marrying a handsome prince—will he have to give up on his pirate as well?
5 Stars!
It's not easy to find a short story that actually feels complete within itself like Exit Through The Gift Shop did. It was well-written, sweet and cute and yes, there was instalove with a strong HFN that gave me hope that these guys could actually make it in the long run. Definitely one of my favorites in the anthology!
