Single dad Mario, twenty-one, has finally won shared custody of his five-year-old son, Sammy.They’re spending Christmas at a Tenerife resort to celebrate. The children’s swimming instructor, Josie, is sexy and fun, and Mario can’t stop dreaming about him. But Mario has no clue how to talk to a hot guy.
With his suntan, Speedos, and rippling abs, Josie seems to be the typical jock. He’s super sweet too, and everyone loves him. But he only has eyes for the fire-eyed little dad who looks like his son’s older brother and won’t stop policing the swimming class.
Sammy would like to be a king in the hotel’s nativity play. But he’s too afraid to go anywhere without his dad. Mario would like a holiday romance with Josie, or even a little more, but between building his tech company and trying to do his part as Sammy’s father he has missed out on a lot and is too inexperienced to know where to begin.
Luckily Santa might have just the thing for everyone on his list…
4 stars
This was a cute holiday story. I liked how much Mario was there for his son Sammy and I enjoyed seeing that relationship on the page. I really would have liked to see this story as a full-length book. It was sweet and I loved Dad Mario but we really do not get to see any relationship development between Mario and Josie. It was a bit cheesy at the end when Josie and Mario finally got together but I still enjoyed this short!
