Amy Aislin's christmas stories always fill me up with warmth. Get Frosted is another great example of that.
I'm also obsessed with the shared universe of Christmas Falls and will definitely read more of the series by the other authors.
In this book, we get the sugary sweet and heartwarming story of Mik and Rudy. They have been hockey rivals in the NHL, and now they are rivals as pub manager's in the winter holiday obsessed little town of Christmas Falls. It's quite obvious from the start, though, that the rivalry actually hides deep affection and attraction on both men's side.
Mik and Rudy team up to plan a party together and coach a hockey team to help out Mik's brother, Josh, who's also Rudy's best friend.
They spend fun Christmas preparation time together and let their feelings free.
I loved the vibes of this story. Just like a small town holiday romance movie, it brings cheer and holiday spirit while dazzling us with a sweet romance.
Mik instantly became my favourite with his larger than life personality and silly humour and eclectic taste in christmas decoration. He's sweet and caring while also being goofy and loveable. Having been living as Josh Gilmore's little brother forever, it's not easy for him to stand out and find his own thing. It was nice to watch him find a way to be truly himself.
My heart also instantly went out for Rudy. He's grown up moving around, never knowing permanence, and he doesn't know how to settle down. He's itching to move, and when a job offer comes along, he thinks he's ready. But leaving Mik and Josh and the town is harder than he thinks. He's struggling to figure out what he wants is heartbreaking, and I shed a few tears for him.
The funnest part of the book is definitely all the christmas activities. Holiday shopping, christmas trivia night, cranberry cocktails, and christmas decorations. If the holiday vibes haven't caught you yet, they will definitely come after reading this book.
The town, the people, Mik and Rudy's family are just the cherry at top.
Reading this was so much fun!
